Pliz i understand we have a good manager whao also deserves our support for all his efforts, but i also want to request our manager to look into bringing in at least 2 experianced defenders and 1 or 2 experianced gun men upfront, this is were we lack end of season every year. Look at the final game between Birmingham, were did we go wrong, obviously our guys need a no nonsence man when he is facing the goal posts. Also the game with Newcastle the defence went offguard n we got punished,
Pliz Mr Manager can u this time around concider bringing in strong experianced defenders and strikers

Its quite simple Mr Wenger. You state that your best players have been injury prone, during a tough full season, filled with perplexing schedules.

You need to solve the underlying issue with the millionaire dollar words: QUALITY DEPTH! We are on the right track, which is difficult to say, but I firmly believe we would have been in contention with at least 2 cup finals if HQ reinforcements were added in January.

I don’t know whether or not 4th is a negative enough position for the board to extract some good old fashioned coin dropping, but its reached the point when now is the time to hit hard at 2-3 great signings. The dressing room will be on edge from this, knowing that AFC has done the right thing and this will reflect on the players situation.

Specifically, existing players will feel challenged with who they buy, according to the position, for example bringing in Sakho. Kosc & DJ will feel threatened by this and we now see competition to “earn” their position.

Too many comfortable players= lack thereof of quality rotation.

According to the website, Fabregas started 29 games and came on as sub in 7 more, meaning he was used for 36 of the 58, a bit more than the 22 according to Wenger.
Van Persie 26 plus seven sub appearances giving 33 a good bit more than the 18 or 19. Vermaelen 5 appearances so he got that one right.

Yes, injuries were a problem but not to the extent Wenger thinks.

Stop taking the blame from the kids Arsene, if they dont take responsibility they will stay kids. Dont you see, you being over protective lets them get away with under ar performances. LET THEM GROW UP

Typical Wenger bull !! Sure he’s responsible, but to say that the players have an “outstanding attitude” is an insult to all of us who follow the red and white!

These bunch of gutless prima donnas have let us and themselves down for 6 years now, each time Wenger protects them, how about calling them out and saying that the standard and guts/pride that they have produced for the last 3 months is unacceptable.

Wenger needs to get a reality check and leave now before his reputation is completely destroyed and the growing feeling that his success only came about because he was fortunate to inherit argueably the best defence there has ever been in the EPL, together with Bergkamp, Wright, Parlour, Platt, Merson and of course a real goalkeeper in David Seaman!.

If Fabregas leaves I for one will be really disappointed. He is easily our most creative player and feel that he’s been let down by Wenger’s reluctance to strengthen the squad. EVERYONE knew we needed to ship out certain players and get better in, but he’s done sod all to rectify the squad and it’s too late. I’m surprised Wenger wasn’t at Old Trafford yesterday as he bent over backwards to hand United the title on a plate and that bunch of mugs could only make 4th place.
My season ticket is due for renewal and for the first time ever I’m reluctant to renew, but of course I will.
I understand that Laurent Koscielny was at Spurs game yesterday where he was under orders from Wenger to clump Barry Ferguson around the back of the head when Brum were relegated. Apparently he abstained saying “I ‘ave no wish to do zis and have too much of ze class to do this to a fellow professional!’
A fellow I know who has been in a coma since 2010 and woke up to ask how the season had gone thought I was talking about 2010 when I told him we had bottled it. Are you sure this is 2011?” he asked.

The usual jab from Wenger, when the team dont perform he praises unquantifiable elements like attitude, mental strength and other jibes. Please dont talk about attitude for it brings out the notion you dont know what attitude is. If you want to understand attitude go see man u play and you will understand what attitude means. Berbatov is more talented than chicarito but who plays? Chicarito Why? he has fantastic attitude, fights for the team, fights for every ball and sprints to harass defenders. I have not seen any of this in our team this season except for maybe Wilshere and Sagna, others have just been filling in the numbers.

Adebayor said it. The team dont fight, you have to be a worrior to win matches and should never be ready to accept defeat. our team accepts defeat quite easily, that is the problem. We dont have fighters in the team and our captain is not a fighter. Talent wise we had a better team than Man U, but they are much better than us coz they have a team ethic, a work ethic. That is what champions are made of, hard work not talent but hard work and strong team ethic we all see how barca harass the ball when they lose it. They work harder without the ball than when they have it, they have two three players harassing the ball at all times all over the pitch when they dont have it. That is what champions are made of.
