Admire your sentiments about the old codger mate. Can understand your stance and even now I sometimes scratch my head wondering how it has all come to this.Herd wrote:Yes I fully understand fella !I take your point mate but we've all be guilty of moaning on here for ages whilst doing nothing else.
Surely we've got to try haven't we ??
Many years ago I was on here saying of u feel that strongly get out there and protest rather than moan on here .
I laud your passion mines gone and I have to declare that I dont like disharmony on washing out dirty linen in public but thats me!
I guess I have no spine ,but I dont want to see him hounded out,for all the bad I want him to be able to leave with dignity but I realise this is the road he has forced people down.
A good few years ago my Mum, rest her soul , was talking football and Wenger in particular to me. She said " ......you know he's going to be gone some day don't you know, what are you going to do then"? ,lamenting his eventful departure and a sad footballing experience for us all. Obviously this was not today or yesterday but the irony of it all that here I am today, wishing him the hell away and not only can't get shot of him but actually having to march to try get rid of the bugger!
I gave up on him circa 2012 but when we beat Hull in the cup I was happy for him, he looked like a younger man in the immediate aftermath. Watching him being given the bumps where with his gangling awkward stature, he seemed child like and at that moment,even the most hard nosed WOB would not have begrudged a half smile and a bit of happiness for him. For too long it had seemed unlikely that he would ever win a trophy again but by hook, crook and luck it happened. Just for a while it felt like I/we had gone back in time a little when his arrogantness/ego/failings were not feeding our anger. However those feelings soon returned after that Summer. And January, February's March's since that. And so here we are today,fighting fellow fans and our own mixed feelings. Me, I'm angry at the man that he did not walk away at the many turn off's along the road. He had the perfect opportunity to do so after Hull or Villa but continued to do so and drive out of control ever since. For a lot of us, this season has to be that Cul de sac.
I have never cu.nted the man off but with every new season, I get closer. On here in the past I have argued that he deserved more than that despite his failings and was crossing a line with that description. I don't and can't hate the fella that some people allude to. I can't. He gave us memories, moments and milestones that we will never see the like of again. But I'm angry that he continues to sully the aforementioned and won't do best for club (Not Kronke but AFC) and fans and depart the club with dignity. More than likely his mortal demise will come before mine and I truly will be sad and I wonder how his passing will be greeted. With grievance by most fans, even fans still with grievance I suspect, hopefully some the anger that the man has some how managed to sweep through the club will have abated by then
This unfortunately is the road he has forced people down.
