is it not clear to Wenger that he is not up to running this great team. When will the board realise this and send him on his way, otherwise there will be a real backlash by the supporters.
getting a good 2&3 full back from either Brazilian league on loan deal i mean as at January 3rd would ve made us win fulham or Swansea we cant aford to be gambling with stinkin miguel or francis in 2&3 positions since the injury prone gibbs is close to come back why not strike a loan deal and until he is back, i just think if am there i could possibly do better than wenger
aresen winger is just a big fool arsenal dont ve full backs and he is still there patching up with migel hell no if i ve my way i will just hold him by the neck and strangle him he is nothing but a big fat fool just want to let him know that he has no excuses to give, if we do not finish at top 3 its that position or he is been relegated to be a youth coach or him ivan gladis peter woll come to fill the whole 61,000 seats next season
