dude, Le-Grove is a terrible blog. Its not the mindless anti-wengerism, its that it is mostly mindless and whiny. There are a lot Arsenal blog and fanzines that are much better than that site.
I don't care who says or thinks what......but then the Arsene in people are just as intolerant of us...even though our views are more rationally-grounded (j/k)...
Can anyone justify this anymore? The team is simply not competitive on hard road games. Same game was lost last season as well. Stoke are alright but I wondered how it was Arsenal got beaten & the gist wasn't too hard to find: pic.twitter.com/PqOkRkbxog— James Yorke (@jair1970) December 6, 2014
Fans are getting restless http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsene-wenger-targeted-foul-mouthed-abuse-4765682
Totally stupid and inexcusable. One can disagree and call Wenger out but this sort of verbal abuse and foul language toward a manager or players are beyond the pale. It is just football for chrissake. What a bunch of dimwits.
To be honest, I think fans have been going about it respectfully in recent years that we want Wenger out but I think now all those years of frustration has sent people off the edge, so this is an expected reaction. Is it right? Probably not, but its understandable to an extent.
It's not though. It just looks mindless from the pov of someone who watches hundreds of relatively meaningless hours of game time and styles himself an expert on all things football. Which let's face it, is pretty much what Wenger does. If you read it straight up though, LeGrove is actually pretty clear about what could be changed for the better and how, if it weren't for the fact that Wenger is entrenched with the club. I haven't read them all by any means but LeGrove is the best I've seen, by some distance, certainly the clearest and most comprehensive.
Then who should they voice their frustrations at??? Can't get into the Board Room and do it can you! AW was a target because he was accessible. It's all so unnecessarily ugly. The debates been hashed over here 50 times. The fans essentially have no power or recourse when they are unhappy with the direction of "their" club. When they see an opportunity to be heard.... You have this occur. I just hope AW exits stage left gracefully before it gets worse. Incidents like this are an embarrassment to the Clubs legacy.
Disgraceful. Shouting obscenities at a 65 year old man is not the "Arsenal Way". While the vast majority of our away fans are fantastic, there is a small minority of yobs like this. I wish i had taken a video of the guy sitting in front of me in Dortmund. The guy was a complete embarrassment, trying to show off to his mates by working himself into a froth. Pathetic stuff.
I think Wenger needs to go but I still have a massive amount of respect for the guy. He'll always be an Arsenal legend and what he's done in his tenure overall is nothing short of incredible. Just seems like his time is up.
I'm tired of Wenger and would welcome a change of manager, but the reaction of many fans has been over the top.
Agrred. I thought the sign pretty much summed up a lot of people's sincere feelings " thanks for the memories but it's time to go." For all that he's done for the club we should be thankful. but it's time to go something new is needed.
My name came up on the list before the 09/10 season and I had put my name on the season ticket waiting list in 2004, I believe, on a lark. I think I may have been put back on the wait-list automatically when they upgraded me to silver membership.

I wonder what would transpire if we were at the bottom of the league like Klopp and Dortmund? Can you imagine?
