Well, the match day wasn’t quite the emotional response we expected from the players or the fans. Empty seats, a muted celebration of Wenger that only came when we were winning and a pretty bog standard 2017-18 game from the boys on the pitch.
The real interest was focused on the post-match comments. Wenger played the pity card, guilted a fan base he felt betrayed by and made it 100% clear the ‘resignation’ was not his idea.
Here’s the thing, there’s no point in getting riled by it. The man is broken by his firing, he’s still in shock, and I don’t think he’s ever been told he’s underperforming. No one likes to be told they’re dispensable and no one likes to lose their job, even if there’s a sweet £9m payout.
“I feel this club has a fantastic image and, for me, that is absolutely vital. We can speak and speak and speak but sport is about winning and losing and you [the supporters] have to accept you will lose games, even when I will not be here any more. But it is about something bigger than just winning or losing and that was always a worry: how the club is perceived worldwide, for kids playing in Africa, China and America and the dreams it can create for young children who want to play football.”
Bleating on about soft-targets that elevate the job of Arsenal manager close to religious leadership is great for the soundbite, but the reality is, football is about winning trophies. Sadly, the kids in Africa are more inclined to pay attention to the colour of the jersey lifting a Champions League trophy than they are to the intangible values Wenger trumps up every time things don’t go his way.
As I’ve said many times this year, there are no fallbacks this season. He failed on all fronts. He stopped making money, he showed his Midas touch with talent – young and old – had gone, and he had fans staying away from their prepaid tickets. Not just that, look at the state of our team. No direction, character, structure or joy. He’s left the squad a wreck, which is why we’ll be so incredibly appealing to every coach on the planet this summer. The only way is up.
The West Ham game didn’t offer up much we don’t already know. The player’s hearts are only in one competition this season, so anaemic performances in the Premier League outside United will be par the course.
Monreal, our superstar striker put us 1 up when he smashed home a left-footed volley from a Xhaka corner. A really tidy finish for a left back. Arnautovic drew West Ham back in 13 minutes later, a car crash of a goal that started from a classic Ospina punched clearance. He really is a shoddy keeper. Not that our defence or midfield showered themselves in glory in the ensuing melee of Sunday league defending.
Ramsey popped up with our second, scoring his oddest goal of the season when he tried to find Aubameyang with a flaccid cross that slipped through the West Ham defence past the hapless Joe Hart. God help us if he’s England’s #1 this summer.
Danny W started the move for our third, making a quick one-two with Xhaka, he found Auba who played in Lacazette at a tight angle, the Frenchman belted a deflected shot that beat Hart at his near post. More poor keeping if we’re honest.
The West Ham collapse was completed when Auba played Ramsey into the box, some silky quick feet from the Welshman and an incisive pass to Lacazette allowed for an easy 4th, taking his goal tally higher than Morata’s, 3 behind Lukaku and 2 behind Firmino. Not a bad return for a player who missed 2 months out injured.
A lot of the post-match whining from the press focused on the lack of singing from the fans. Please. This really has to stop, the never-ending gratitude some folk in the media think we should show Wenger is incredibly indulgent. The response was muted because he overstayed his welcome, he used his past glories to steal undeserved contracts and he sucked the joy out going to Arsenal for at least 6 seasons.
I love the notion that this is because of the ‘modern fan’. Average age of a Premier League season ticket holder was 43 last time I checked, old enough to have sat through the George Graham years. It’s such a bourgeois notion to think that Arsenal fans should just suck up the depressing 14-year decline because Wenger can titillate the Crouch End press core with occasional pithy anecdotes about philosophy or Brexit.
What is the expected behaviour? Start a 40-day celebration of Arsène? Sacrifice a few chickens in the ground? It’s very unique that Arsenal fans, who had the longest serving manager by 19 years, are critiqued as being bad fans so often.
Our loyalty to the manager was borderline sycophantic up until 2 seasons ago. We let him go 9 years without a trophy, 14 years without a league win (or even getting to March competing), 7 seasons not making it past the last 16 of the Champions League, as well as never winning a European trophy. Not to mention ‘Arsene knows’ became a religious turn of phrase amongst Arsenal fan to explain any and all of his actions.
Wenger’s comments on our fans had a few people finger wagging at AFTV.
‘Personally, I believe this club is respected all over the world, much more than in England … our fans did not give the image of unity that I want in the club all over the world, and that was hurtful. I feel the club is respected. Overall the image we gave of our club is not what it is and not what I like.’
I think people are giving Wenger a bit too much credit for his web browsing habits here. Bellerin gave you all the insight you needed about what the players/coaches think of AFTV. It’s football panto played by a group of fun characters. It’s not serious like the issues we’ve had in the ground with the banners, the planes, the empty seats, the booing, the shoddy atmosphere. That’s the message of unity he’d like us to have improved on.
The ultimate sin that killed Wenger wasn’t rage, it wasn’t over passionate displays of pantomime childishness, it was antipathy. When the fans stopped caring, that’s when the club had to act.
The comment also highlights that Wenger doesn’t really understand why this firing happened. He can’t see what he did wrong, he hates that his stellar reputation and past deeds can’t control fan feelings, he’s devastated he could no longer reimagine failure in a pithy sentence the fans would buy, he’s absolutely baffled that setting the bar isn’t enough, unless you can maintain it.
Ultimately, Arsenal fans have had 6 years to get used to the idea Wenger shouldn’t be manager. He’s been a bit of a squatter lately and a progress blocker, so good riddance is obviously going to be the vibe, and that’s why you’re not seeing disingenuous shows of gratitude right away. Still more comments like the one below will get the fans back on side.
“I’m happy when the fans are happy and I’m even ready to suffer to make them happy. If sometimes they make me happy as well [by singing his name], I will take it. Every single decision I made during my 22 years was for the good of Arsenal and every single decision was with the priority of doing well for the club. I tried to influence the club on structure, development of players and style of play. To combine the three is not always easy and I believe I leave a club that is in a very good position.
“My target was always to do that and give continuity to the guy who comes in after me so we can be better in the next 20 years. That’s my wish.”
I like the way he talks about sacrifice like he’s the Jesus of Arsenal. Hopefully, a godly performance against Atleti will see out his career!
Right, that’s me done, see you in the comments x
Go for it and allow Ramsey to leave our defence exposed as usual and atletico won’t take advantage of that at all.
The Untold banner got a lot of coverage in tv before the game against West Ham. Guess there weren’t many other similar banners to share the limelight?
Frank
That is gold!
Was the poster’s name Pierre?
Wallace
Why does that matter.
We are not really going to be losing our best players now that Wenger is gone.
Sanchez would still be here if we had made this move last summer
I don’t know why the Untold mob keep insinuating that Wenger has had a hard time with the media.
If anything they have been soft on him.

Untold is in serious melt down. Someone please call the suicide prevention hotline for them.
……………………………………
They would gladly commit suicide as long as they take a few of the non believers and the Emirates Stadium with them.
Gambon
Good to see your posts as ever – don’t always agree but you were bang on 10 years ago here.
Funny how not one of you fuck heads who still abuse Wenger still today , don’t note that them down the road lost their eighth semi final in a row on Saturday.
Some of you need to remember the essence of football and Arsenal.
“Lol these people have a sickness. Hope they follow Wenger out.”
One of them apparently wants to sell his season ticket, hopes all Wenger’s babies leave Arsenal and the club crashes.
They are also under the illusion that bigger clubs would be after Wenger.
“it wont be long before Le Grove turns on whatever manager we get in next”
Mate, I will turn on any manager who thinks he is Arsenal, any smug, arrogant, know-it-all-about-anything dictator who thinks Arsenal is his private plaything.
Frank, its not just Untold. Did you see the comment I copy pasted from the Guardian? Apparently the guy will give up on football altogether after Wenger leaves Arsenal.
Wut
TMBTH no mate Pierre not guilty, but there’s more and the bloke is a full on nutter!
Rambo
I think you will see a huge exodus of fans leaving arsenal after Wenger leaves
It will be for the Better. They were never arsenal fans to begin with.
David Dein is laying it thick only because it was him that brought Wenger in. He’s hardly going to slag him off is he? So he’s just hopping on the “let’s praise Arsene” bandwagon because it easy and it’s what society generally does these days – i.e. hide behind other virtue-signalling fakes and do as they do.
RR yep I saw that too…. just wow! Totally amazed by some of these “Arsene supporters!”
This nutter is hoping England fans get a good hiding in Russia… “May Russia beat the shit out of them all in the streets and stadiums.”
David Dein is being nice.
Ask him, off record, about Wenger and it’ll be a completely different story.
George Graham > The specialist in failure
Carts
“David Dein is being nice.Ask him, off record, about Wenger and it’ll be a completely different story.”
they still eat together once a week, don’t they?
David Dean is Wenger’s buddy, he’ll never say anything bad about Wenger.
Wholy jeez, Untold are like a pack of wild Shih Tzu’s over a block of cheese. Hammering the media and supporters for what has happened to their beloved messiah, I mean Cult Leader.
Total meltdown…Absolutely hillarious!
Durham ripping wenger a new one on talksport. Brilliant stuff.
FC, so are Untold realising that in fact Wenger was sacked rather than resigned?
Read that too, Frank. Guy needs serious help, he’s in total meltdown mode.
Wallace
I think he accepted it as being part
of modern football.
He knows he isn’t at a top club although Monaco is big enough to attract potential employers.
He refused big Chinese money so as to remain in their radars imo.
If they know they will hever admit it, Jeff. They are going bonkers in their laying of blame on who did this. No one is getting a pass, not management, not the media and certainly the faction of supporters who they deem anti-Wenger.
Not surprising as you had to know either way they are are flat track bullies when they are set on something and things dont go their way. Kinda like the Implausible 3 here (Pierre, Vic, AuberNorthernGoof)
For whoever put that George Graham is trash… let them be forgiven.
For without the back five that George Graham built and Wenger would have been mere footnote in Arsenal’s history.
Wenger’s focus has always been attack — his judgement in recruiting defensive players have been average at best, with a few exceptions in Sagna, Toure, Mertesacker Koscelny and Monreal.
If we did a list of Wenger’s worst signings I have no doubt they would be littered with defensive players more than any other.
I could care if they use Wenger’s Taste card.
That’s why I said off the record
*Wenger inherited, he would have been…
Who caused the disunity in the first place? I don’t remember many African or Chinese fans standing in the pissing rain at the Clock End getting pelted with coins by away supporters… Fuck Wenger and good riddance
I’ll tell you what though, constantly repeating how many offers Wenger turned down in his hey-day is utterly moot at this stage.
He held his position for 21 years unchallenged. He’s been handsomely compensated. He then fell-off. The world goes on.
*couldnt
*Fuck Off Wenger
Any word on Mikki playing on Thursday? Thought I read something that said he was out?
Why would some on here be against having Carlo Ancelloti as manager? I am curious to know….
Wenger is always saying how other big clubs wanted him… well, time to see if they really did or if it was just posturing on his part…
Getting a strong feeling that Enrique may be the person AFC are lining up.
Frankie
Well if he is there’s no reason why it can’t be announced before the end of the season. If it’s going to be someone in a role it’ll have to be once they’ve finished their season.
There’s a very clear sequence of events that led to Wenger’s sacking. Most of us on here always wondered what it would take and I admit I didn’t believe he was sackable and for a long time he probably wasn’t. But a combination of things tipped the balance. Here they are in no particular order: 1. Empty stadium 2. I believe the WOBs finally outnumbered the AKBs. 3. Recent Form 4. Dropping out of CL two years running. 5. Josh Kroenke I dare say that if it had been left up to Kroenke senior, he probably would have given Arsene… Read more »
The idea that Wenger would be PSGs manager is farcical.
They will win 8 out of 10 Ligue 1 trophies regardless of who their manager is, so its all about the champs league for them.
They are not going to appoint a failed old man who cant even get past the R16.
Frankie
I don’t think Enrique would be that bad. He did great with Barca. They haven’t won the CL since he’s left. He’s won loads as a player and as a manager.
He won 9’trophies in 3 seasons.
Great record Even with Messi.
Indeed, on Untold it’s absolutely…. wow.
Don’t know if I must laugh or be scared. Both ??
Favourite quote, because maybe the most “original” :
“OMG, I really hope we don’t do a Tottenham and appoint a manager who trains his players to cheat”
And also the inevitable “So glad he has taken the decision himself.”…
Erm…
lol
Gambon
Agree
No was PSG would hire him if their ambitions are CL
All the posters waxing lyrical about his 3 fa cups in 14 seasons., all top clubs would have sacked him for that record. It’s nothing to be proud of for a supposed top club or a supposed top manager ()
Untold became Unhinged a long long time ago. It’s a personality cult, and nothing more.
So much for being Arsenal fans… they were the shock troops of Arsene FC. I hope they follow him out.
Weren’t they responsible for the most sycophantic banners in the Stadium?
If he does get appointed PSG manager. I will definitely put some money down on another team winning Ligue 1.
Take Me Back – Agreed, i have no issues with Enrique. In my opinion he is a significant step forward from the current nonsense at the helm.
@Gambon – dont know how many teams would want someone who has spent 22+ years playing head games with everyone? Just glad he’s not our problem any longer.
is the only knock on Enrique based on his past before Barca? Are we thinking without the Barca superstars he got lucky?
Im wondering why some on here are also opposed to him.
The best part of it is that if the next manager isn’t any good, the board aren’t going to be shy about looking for someone else. No more trying to please AKBs. However I do think the new manager deserves at least 3 seasons to get going. Even Guardiola didn’t have instant success at Man City and it took a season before he was able to forge the team he wanted. With Arsenal, it’s going to be even more difficult. So many bad habits to break, so many cobwebs to clear, so much dead wood to clear and so little… Read more »
Some people really believe Ramsey is a CM. Yeah Wenger said he is a CM and played him there. Ramsey for his part has got one hell of an engine and is pretty good defensively. But the guy doesn’t even think like a CM, let alone play like one. You can never take a player’s natural instinct away from him. Ramsey’s basic instinct when we have the ball is make a run into the space. Sure he drops into the midfield and plays a pass, but his real game lies always at the opponent’s box. He’d rather be at the… Read more »
Wenger has got of light if he was still with Grampus
he would have had to commit HARI KARI for the shit fest
he has had us in for the last 10 years.
The fact Dein was instrumental in signing him has mean’t
that Wenger has paid for the weekly meal with Dein for the last 22 years.
🙂
A bit disturbing to see some weird obsession going on towards Untold,becomes even more hypocritical because I don’t see them ridiculing Legrove or copying and pasting comments from here,i find some of them even more rational and objectively minded than some posters on here. their argument is that Wenger’s achievements should be celebrated and not his departure like some jackass are doing here, And why are some posters trying desperately to make themselves believe Wenger got the sack,when it’s pretty evident going by his pressers that he pretty much stepped down(cos of fans apathy,the major factor ) and lastly I… Read more »
“their argument is that Wenger’s achievements should be celebrated and not his departure ”
I dedicate this post to celebrate Wenger winning the “most points in a Calendar year” Trophy.
Vic
We want the new manager to address weaknesses in the team that have been apparent for years and years. If that results in winning one of the big trophies in the coming years all the better.
Only worry is if the silly board give out a remit to the new man that they want Wenger’s football philosophy to be continued even when he is no longer there.
Victorious.
If it was fan apathy why has he not mentioned it before?
I mean this has been going on for years and like the thick
skinned guy he is, it has had little effect.
He was sacked.
“Only worry is if the silly board give out a remit to the new man that they want Wenger’s football philosophy to be continued even when he is no longer there.” Any why should Wenger’s philosophy pose a problem even when its that same philosophy that largely brought success to the club in his first 10 years,if anything,his lack of belief in that philosophy is what truly made him lost his way. I don’t trust the BOD for a number of reasons and still not sure if they’d be quick enough to cut their losess on a failed manager.Gazidiz apparently… Read more »

Of course you do. You’re as much of a deluded lunatic as those cunts over there are.
new manger to win at least one league title in 2 years and a CL in 5years,would be fun.thats all we want alright.
Of course that’s what we all want.
Don’t you?
Most fans (bar akbs) would be happy with a different game plan. A plan b. Tactics. Some sort of energy and some tactical awareness. Maybe compete for the title longer into the season than preseason
I want us to win the league and CL in the new managers 1 year
Don’t you?
Wengers philosophy first 10 years?
What’s that?
Let GGs back 5 and db10 and viera etc lead and manage the team from the pitch while he sat back and took the plaudits
Great philosophy. Too bad he let all the leaders go and thought he was some great manager.
Wow

That’s false equivalency, I don’t think there’s any comment here at the moment that was as ridiculous as the one guy on Untold saying he wishes the fate of Leeds to the club he supports because Wenger was fired (yes, fired). It’s so ridiculous I don’t know what else to say about it.
I will concede that equally ridiculous things have come from Le-Grove posters over the years, tongue-in-cheek or not. But don’t think for a second that the posters at Untold haven’t referenced this blog and the comments section directly or indirectly for years.
“And why are some posters trying desperately to make themselves believe Wenger got the sack,when it’s pretty evident going by his pressers that he pretty much stepped down(cos of fans apathy,the major factor ) and lastly I can’t really wait for the new manger to win at least one league title in 2 years and a CL in 5years,would be fun.thats all we want alright” Glad to know that you’re already routing for the new manager to fail to prove that Wenger was indeed the first son of Zeus. ..and oh wait, Wenger resigned after he was threatened with the… Read more »

On sky sports now
Big six net spend between June 2004 & May 2013
City… 410 million
Chelsea… 390 million
United….. 170 million
Liverpool…. 169 million
Tottenham… 92 million
And
Arsenal…. A profit of 20 million.
I don’t suppose that had anything to do with our lack of trophies at that time, do you!
From SkySports – “Arsenal’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis – the man who will ultimately recommend a new head coach to owner Stan Kroenke – believes Mikel Arteta could be the man to replace Arsene Wenger“
Clearly Gazidis fancies himself a gambling man. Arteta has zero experience and this is how you replace your clubs so-called legend manager? Ivan appears to be bucking for a place in the unemployment line if he follows through on this rumour.
The Arteta choice will probably break Arsenal. Are we so daft we will stake our future on a novice?
City have Guardiola and Liverpol have Klopp. What will we have? a Pep-lite weight cookie with zero experience.
It will confirm everything Victorious and Pierre have been warning us about.,
City… 410 million
Chelsea… 390 million
United….. 170 million
Liverpool…. 169 million
Tottenham… 92 million
And
Arsenal…. A profit of 20 million.I don’t suppose that had anything to do with our lack of trophies at that time, do you!
Couldn’t have been Wenger not spending to save his job could it have been?
No of course not.
Wenger sacrificed himself.
Arsenal’s saviour!
Pierre and Northern,
Have you seen the net spend stats from 2013-2017?
Are you aware that we spent more than Chelsea in that period?
Its over, Pierre.
Umm. That’s net spend, not the money the club had to use over that period. And definitely not the money that could have, should have been spent.
Unless you are still suggesting the club used all the funds they had available every year?
Pierre What was the wage spend of the top 6 during that time? Thank you in advance It’s been said a million times. Wenger spent his funds on his idiotic socialist wage policy to buy loyalty from his babies. They all left anyway. Wenger didn’t buy Alonso because he didn’t want to kill denilson. Nothing to do with funds. Wengers stupidity. Why was bedtner paid 52,000 a week Why was diaby paid for 6 years. Etc etc etc. Hilarious even after Wenger gets the sack, they keep defending him.

“It will confirm everything Victorious and Pierre have been warning us about.,”
To be honest, i dont ever recall either of them calling Gazidis a moron. If he follows through on this, he will indeed be one. I imagine Pedro likely would not see that one coming, despite his nauseating fawning over the guy.
Pierre
Using net spend stats is meaningless when the manager won’t address key problems in the squad.
There will never be another manager of a major club who decides to not buy a single outfield player in a summer window.
Wenger has the singular dishonor with that putrid stat.
“Unless you are still suggesting the club used all the funds they had available every year?”
On wages, highly likely.
Pierre
Maybe you should hold a protest to get Wenger back in!
Your sign can show those net spend figures.
Maybe you want to show Leicester’s net spend? Atletico’s when
They won the league, Dortmund’s, Monaco’s?
Porto’s net spend when they won the CL.
If Arteta is chosen that would be a disaster.
Such an inexpereinced company man type.
Are we thinking he is Pep Mk2???? fuck that…
Give me Allegri or even Ancelloti over him!
The name Arteta will not be enough to attract any good players to us!!!
Pierre
What is Roma’s net spend v Barca’s?
Wenger preferred to spend money that should have been designated as transfer funds to over pay his players. That’s a fact.
Spuds pay good players less money while we splurge out our money on wages for average players.
Kyle Walker was on 45k weekly before he left for City; we’ve been paying Bellerin 100k weekly for two years now..
The net spend stats are misleading.
Amidst all this feeble and inappropriate sentimentality,
, I think the fact this fraud was paid 11million this eason, has been forgotten.
This poor badly treated paragon of virtue has earned £80 million in the past 8 years, whilst the club has nose dived with no chance of winning the prem in those years. Talk about sickening sentimentality.
J. Oey
“Couldn’t have been Wenger not spending to save his job could it have been”
Let’s analyse this comment from j. Oey
He believes that Wenger refused to spend 100’s millions of pounds to buy top quality players as it would help him save his job at Arsenal.
How would not spending millions of pounds to improve the team help him.
Still as thick as ever eh j. oey
Gazidis woudnt be that stupid would he? Re Arteta?if true.theyre prob trying to avoid paying out a big contract to someone of note.prob is if you’re going to pay peanuts you’re prob going to get monkeys.on your head be it Ivan old chap.
Yep. Wenger had no funds to spend that summer he only bought Cech
Poor Wenger. What could he do ?!?!
Pierre dropped the stats and ran way
So typical of his ilk.
Someone mentioned a statue for Wenger?..what will it be made of?
Haha
Wenger has been paid very handsomely to feel hurt and worse, like a sack of crap now that the board have decided he is no longer the right person for the job.
The master of head games will never be missed by me, not ever.
Most likely he refused to spend that money because he was an out of touch stubborn fool. Nothing to do with him keeping his job as it was never back then in jeopardy in the first place.
Dissenter
“Kyle Walker was on 45k weekly before he left for City;”
And that is why he left and that is why nasri, adebuyor, cliche, Cole etc left the Arsenal…..
Vic Hahahahaha It has been suggested that perhaps purse strings are tight in North London, but chairman Peter Hill-Wood insists that is not the case. Wenger has been informed that there is cash available, but the Frenchman has told the Arsenal board that there is not a player he would be willing to pay a high fee for. Hill-Wood said in the Daily Star ahead of Sunday’s trip to West Ham: “We have told him there is quite a lot of money he could spend. “He says he realises that but he hasn’t actually found any player he thinks can… Read more »
Sorry. That was meant for Pierre
Wenger did not care about making the team better
He was about self preservation.
About paying his babies. Keeping them loyal
Try again Pierre.
Pierre
Yes we let those players leave because their wage demands didn’t fit into the socialist structure. Same reason no one of significance was signed for years.
Instead we gave Bendtner 52k a week and Wilshere 80k coming straight off a year long injury.
Haha Pierre has gone completely mad since Wenger Got the sack haha
“Pierre dropped the stats and ran way. So typical of his ilk.”
Nope, he’s gone and gotten referee stats to prove there is a conspiracy afoot! He just has to speak with papa Atwood to make sure he’s got his numbers right. He’s not actually used to working at producing anything on his own.
Wenker wanger
“Adrian Durham slaughtered Wenger on talksport. Supporting the fans that quite rightly wanted him out”
Ooh now there’s a surprise.
Not signing one outfield player
Really a sign of a manager who really wants to improve the team.
Hmmmmm
Frankie C,
No direct quote though so I’m guessing just another red herring….
Wenger plans to be a builder…his slogan is “lowest quality, highest prices, and the customer is never right.
Wenger didn’t spend the money because he was never afraid of his job…FACT
It has been rather enjoyable watching the three lost souls try to find their way out of the darkened room.
In the immortal words of Dandy Don Meredith (NFL Monday Night Football fame) – Turn out the lights, the parties over……..
Signing kallstrom. Real sign of a manager wanting to make the team better
