Deserves a mention as he is about to break the record for the number of Premier league games managed. Currently on 810 Premier league games, tied with Fergie. Nobody in the EPL will ever stay that long again with one club. Just wont happen. He gave Arsenal fans a decade of top football. From 97 to 06 they played some of the best football seen in the premier league and they should be thankful for that. 3 league titles 4 FA cups Financially they just couldn't (or wouldnt) compete with Chelsea and Man U and then City later on. I think he should of went in 2014 when he delivered his 5th FA cup. Go out on a high. His main failure was in Europe. That team should have done better in that decade above. ------------- |

Don't think Arsenal fans care too much for the league cup. Ok if they go into win the europa it would be a good season. At the moment though it doesn't look like they will as some strong teams in that. The best thing they can do is get rid of the bad eggs now, bring in fresh faces and give the europa and top 4 a last bash. I think wenger is gone if he doesn't deliver one of them. |

He should be gone any way. Can't see them beating both Chelsea and City to win the cup (although they did last year to win the FA Cup), although they should make an attempt, it's the only domestic competition he hasnt won. Time to go all out for the EL because there isnt a hope of making CL otherwise. He always bangs on about leaving Arsenal in better shape than when he took over. Both himself, and the board, are failing miserably at that. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Wenger decided to keep both of them so that they would play so well that they'd finish well up the table and he wouldn't be helping a rival. That's his decision to make, but it's looking like it has back fired badly, Sanchez been sold in January to possibly Man Utd that's a farce and he hasn't played very for them either. So. - 60million and wages Ozil has played very well and will in all likelihood be leaving in the Summer, so unless he wins the Europa Cup then this season looks like a total failure. Neutral And finally Oxlaide Chamberlain doing well at Liverpool, after numerous years of looking like a player with great potential, makes Wenger's management skills look dated. + 35m but you look like a bad manager 2019 he will still be managing them ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

I don't think he really has. His hunger for the club management side of things is clearly gone, or just gone totally stale at Arsenal. I'd love to be proved wrong and see him win a title at Arsenal if he was there for the next couple of years, but obviously that's hugely unlikely. As it is, a move to manage another club might give him the boost he needs. Or else into football administration dealing with things such as FFP, which tbf to him he has always had plenty to say on going back years. I agree with him to an extent on how the bigger leagues are ruined now. This is nothing new though. There is a cartel at the top of European football for a long time now, pushing everything in a direction that suits the few at the top. More of the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer. They founded their own g14 group of elite clubs over 20 years ago (G14 getting replaced by newer incarnations as the years went on). So those vested interests have been driving things in the direction we now are for a long long time. On Wenger and Arsenal though, they are one of those vested interests at the very top of the game. They have helped create this CL top 10/20 clubs monopoly all over Europe that will be incredibly hard to break for decades to come. it just hasn't panned out exactly how they and Wenger would like and his real gripe here is that on club finances alone, without benefactors pouring funds in, Arsenal could be at the very top of the European clubs competing for the past decade. So it's a purely selfish point of view in that sense. Football at the top level in Europe is f*cked in that sense. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. If FFP came in with a hard line at this point in time, it would probably make football even more monopolised at the top. Letting benefactors poor money into clubs is about the only thing that now keeps football at the top level any bit interesting. TLDR, football at Europes top level is f*cked either way, so might as well let clubs spend gazillions of private owners money to prop certain teams up. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

There have been 4 different winners of the EPL in the last 5 seasons. La Liga has always been won by either Barca or Real since the turn of the century, bar the odd surprise package like Valencia or Atletico. Barca and Real are the two biggest clubs in the world and will continue to alternate as champions every couple of years you would imagine. Nothing new here. The Serie A title race is close and will be exciting hopefully. PSG and Bayern are just too big for their domestic rivals to compete with and will continue to dominate as they have done for the past few seasons. Not enough strength in depth in those nations leagues. Its just happens to have occurred this year that 4 of the 5 big leagues seem over by January. No big thing to worry about, I'm sure City and Barca will not be as far clear this time next season. Its up to Real, Man United, Chelsea and Wenger's own club to catch up. Its not as if City are just about to make it 5 in a row or something. Just another thing for Wenger to whinge and moan about. |

If he said the French and German leagues I would agree with him. It looks like PSG are going to dominate the French league for a long time. This season will be 5 wins out of 6. It took an exceptional Monaco team to win one title. Would you be surprised if PSG won the next 5 leagues?? Bayern have just won the last 5 and you could see them winning the next 5. The EPL is really competitive now. No team has won back to back titles for about 10 seasons. ------------- |

I do feel this will be his last Season at Arsenal. And for that I hope he wins on Sunday and can go out on a high. I think it would have been better for him if Man City won last night as they will be hurting and looking to put it right in the next game. However being the underdogs seems to suit them.

Arsenal surprised me by beating both City and Chelsea in the fa cup last season but I wonder would City and Chelsea in some way had seen them as a soft touch and were a bit complacent.Both would have been favourites for those games. Tonight's result doesn't matter as they got through and if they happen to beat City, no-one will care about tonight.

They are regressing again this season though. As bad as they were last year, they finished the league in a battle for 4th, and won the Cup. They'll finish 6th this season and about 30 points off the league winners! It's worse and worse they are getting under Wenger, even though they've brought in a few good players recently.

In every other respect, Spurs are going one way (upwards) and Arsenal are going the other (downwards). And whilst these things can always change (eg Spurs lose Poch, Arsenal appoint Ancellotti or similar), it's at least as likely to continue (eg Spurs keep Poch and Wenger clings on further)

One north london club, with an exciting manager relatively new to English football getting the best out of a young and improving team made up of a blend of English players and foreign talent that may have been overlooked elsewhere prior to signing, the other north london club a stagnant "giant" harking back to past glories but now routinely inferior to their local rivals.

Didn't see the game, but followed it on the radio, web etc. As a Spurs fan, this was just about the perfect result: another embarrassment for The Arse, which puts paid to whatever slim chance they had of Top Four. At the same time, AW can continue to delude himself that they didn't play that badly/that M.City would have done that to all the other top teams/that the 2nd half was better/that Boomerang converting the penalty could have seen a comeback etc etc etc. Which should mean he'll cling on until they prise the keys to the Emirates from his bony fingers, bundle him into a taxi and instruct the cabbie to take him to the nearest international airport. But hopefully not for another season. (Two seasons would surely be to much to hope for.) Now I'm off to ArsenalFanTV, currently better than The Comedy Channel, Saturday Night Live and Monty Python combined.

Love that channel when they lose. Their revenues are going to plummet when Arsene goes. I think if he qualifies them for the CL through winning the Europa, the board will definitely give him another year. They're certainly not the sacking type ------------- Wings?

Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy both saying Wenger should be sacked difficult to argue against that but will the Gooners board get rid of him in the Summer? ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

I'd hope the Arsenal board do the right thing and let him 'leave' rather than being sacked. He is their most successful and longest serving manager. He should be moved upstairs and given some kind of role within the club. He really should have left after any one of the 3 FA cups wins recently. ------------- |

I used to think like this before, but he has had the chance to do the right thing with a few years now, but has been too stubborn to do it, and it's cost the club massively. If they sacked him, he could have no complaints.

He shouldn’t be able to choose his date to stand down anymore The board has to sack him now, or at least come out saying he’s going in the summer |

If this was any aspiring top 4 Manager they'd be sacked by now. Conte is the reigning EPL Champion and is still in the Champions League which is probably the only basis he's still in a job. Take no credit away from Chris Hughton btw, getting 12 goals out of a 34 year old in a season and not counting the hold up play he offers is an outstanding job by both player and Manager.

There is nod doubt that Murray has given a solid return, but he has hardly been taxed by the Arsenal defence. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Arsenal shouldn't sack him. What they should do is go to him and say "if you don't say you're leaving at the end of the season, we're going to sack you". At least that gives him the opportunity to go out with a bit of dignity intact. But he should be gone at the end of this season. What's the market for his replacement? Dyche the favourite? -------------

The paper review on BBC this morning, which therefore must be taken with a large pinch of salt, seemed to suggest that the Arsenal board want Jogi Loew. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I used to think like that, but I'm firmly against that idea now. He absolutely should not be allowed to have a role in the club which has a say in managerial appointments. He already sits in on director interviews, so he essentially picks those who will be above him. No wonder the board is full of yes men. No other manager has that power at a club. I was always in favour of letting him see out a season before he left but I want him gone now. The players look clueless, half arsed and don't seem to know how to defend or attack. He is the coach, and should take the blame. He signed the likes of Chambers, Xhaka, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Welbeck, and promoted Iwobi and Bellerin from the academy. He was a great servant but footballing wise, the club has never been in a worse position. Time to go. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |
