This is a manager who hardly sees his own wife, he works so bloody hard for the club. As for the board, I doubt you have any insider information to confirm any of that polemic. To all the commentors above, thanks for the well-wishes and/or criticisms and I'd be glad to hear from you guys more regularly. All are welcome, whether you disagree or agree with my ramblings, so make yourselves at home.

Long time no see. Cheers all - thankfully I'm already working at the moment, I'm perversely lucky in that regard. BendyTheViking, interesting take but you can see by the way other clubs always have him on the top of their shortlists - just ask other fans and they would bite your hand off if he was on offer. Simply put, with any other manager, even Ferguson, managing this side and we would be 12th, 13th. The club is desperately short of cash. Wenger is not afraid to spend if he needs to - 10mil on Vermaelen and 16mil on Arshavin proves this - but the Vermaelen money has chomped away at most if not all our available funds. Adebayor monies will probably go towards the clubs debts. It's hard to watch other clubs spending so casually, but accusations of 'cheap Wenger' are wide of the mark in that they miss the economic frugality that the club, above Wenger, has been forced into. Wenger's just the best in the world with working with such impossible resources. We can win with this squad, it's just going to take immense patience from the fans.

It's been done before and he was ineffective, in my opinion.

Our opponents are making rubbish signings that are making them worse as a team.

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 20:25:01 +0000 http://www.third-gen.com/2009/07/02/arsenal-and-the-springboks-british-media-hypocrisy/#IDComment26160753 http://www.third-gen.com/2009/07/02/arsenal-and-the-springboks-british-media-hypocrisy/#IDComment26102733 I agree with the majority of what you said, 'THEKNOW', and he rightly got some stick for what he said. But my point still stands: What of the English managers who spout similar rubbish in the EPL? Thanks for reading and the comments, guys. Thu, 2 Jul 2009 07:53:06 +0000 http://www.third-gen.com/2009/07/02/arsenal-and-the-springboks-british-media-hypocrisy/#IDComment26102733 http://www.third-gen.com/2009/07/01/arsenal-relegate-eduardo-to-desk-job/#IDComment26054867 Amen.

It's tradition, it's what makes our club, it's not about what 'looks cool'. Even so, Nike are quite capable of keeping the same colours of our club and make them look fashionable, regardless. I never said we wont win the league because of the colours of our kit - that would be superstitious.

I "didnt mind" the white kit in 07/08 with the redcurrant pants so much - only barely liked it, mind you - but the white and blue is just carbon copy of Sp*rs. So much for my favourite taunt of that club trying to be exactly like us. This is too much.

Arsenal are distinctly red and white. Not plain red, like afformentioned clubs. Talk some sense.

Shows how much they know.

I rate the guy highly - but I think there are a number of things that Melo (and some others) can bring to his game. Besides, more competition for places in the CM spot is a priority, regardless.

Keep the language civil if your intelligence allows.

Secondly - I said if Wenger's able to turn his attitude around, I'm fine with him staying. That 'fighting spirit' has been absent for almost all of the season, apart from a brief spell when he got back into the side after injury. It quickly faded after that, though.
