Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
when ever dem dey do "open house" for my street, I always go there to ask the potential buyers, "eh... skuseee me, plissss.. I want to ask, are you an Arsenal fan??" So far, all of them dey ask me "what is that?" No Arsenal fan is moving into this block! Lie lie!Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:danfo driver wrote:A Great Manager.
His service to Arsenal is undeniable. He took on a club and significantly changed the culture of the club, both in and out of the pitch. The same way Cruyff influenced Barcelona, Fergie influenced United and Helenio Herrera had influenced Inter. Arsenal is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.“Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame but greatness, because greatness is determined by service.” Martin Luther King Jr.
I wish, for him, that 10 years from now, he will remember the great times and the true feelings Gooners have for him and not the last 3 years were he was insulted.
Arsene Wenger, a truly great manager.
Ha...enemy of Arsenal...OK o...Ogbeni, anoda Fiera and Anri waiting to torment you

Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
A large percentage of Arsenal/Wenger critics appreciate what Wenger did for the club early in his managerial career. That was never the basis of the criticism. The discontent comes from the past decade and you may disagree but to act like the criticism is unwarranted is simply disingenuous. The notion that he helped grow the club means he is thus untouchable is ludicrous. Firstly he was very handsomely rewarded for his services. Secondly, there are many people who actually started (and owned) companies and still had to step aside at some point. Ted Turner, Steve Jobs, Travis Kalanick, come to mind.txj wrote:In many a club, there's a new generation of fans who are in a vocal majority. Many of them, sad to say have no sense of history, or even a deep knowledge of the game.

The reality is that Arsenal was a provincial club in London, with serial 1-0 wins bagged to the arsenal until a wiry Frenchman showed up from, of all places Japan!
In 22 years, the man not only changed the way football is played and players developed in England, but built this provincial club into a global brand. Nobody has ever done this in football.
Sure, we can quibble about tactics and selections, trophies won or lost, but people should learn to pay respect.

Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
Thank you boss Wenger,it's a slow news to me not breaking news.
Thanks for making me proud of my club in the late 90's and early 2000 when win was the only thing we know.Then also thanks for putting shake shake in me but no thanks.I was watching games in replay instead of watching games live.
I will wait till Wenger leave before I believe.I pray you not mess our Europa chance.We want to send you away with a trophy.
Beloved players go out and win us Europa foe Wenger sake.
As for those who want change and Wenger out like me,please wait till he is gone ooh.The man can change his heart and stay and the board will even apologies for sacking him or asking him to leave.
Also my people who should be the new boss?

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

I rarely write and/or talk about foreign club football but surely this is an end to a great era, IMHO. This guy was one of the truly great giants of football.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in.

He overstayed his welcome. I like how the Americans treat sports... the essence is to win. Great coaches do get fired. And if you stay in a place long enough you will get fired.
They are about to finish in 6th place... it is not good enough! Their main rivals are getting better.
The sentimental BS just doesn't cut it especially when it is beginning to affect the bottomline.
Maybe at Pool you guys love talking about how you were winning trophies before color TV was invented...

Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
The end of an era. Wenger - an Arsenal legend. Time to put aside the petty quibbles about whether he overstayed or not and just take a moment to marvel and respect the impact this man had on the game. It's a moment for Arsenal fans in particular to demonstrate some class, just as their manager has done throughout his career.

Dude, the man didn't die. We can recognize his accomplishments while still discussing the circumstances surrounding his exit. They're not mutually exclusive. Part of paying respect is also recognizing his legacy which like many of us rightly warned years ago will become tarnished if he overstayed which he clearly did. Mschew!!!

Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
Why should we put it aside? We can still discuss it...that's what the forum is for, discussing. You don't have to partake in it but you shouldn't have to censor others if they're not breaking the forum rules. Nothing classless in that...as long as he's not personally insulted.

Re: Breaking news: Mugabe Wenger to go @ end of the season
I'm not for censoring any debate. Those who wish to harp on about Wenger staying on for too long or his mistakes or whatever are free to do so but are really missing the moment. Those people have been saying the same thing for the past X years so nothing new there; today is the moment to appreciate what he brought to the game.theYemster wrote:Why should we put it aside?
