Finally Arsenal fans are seeing Wenger is overrated, been saying it for years. Wonder how they'd take to Mourinho in a swap deal. He'd win things, but be a bit of a shift towards the George Graham football style.

Was surprised how many empty seats there was at Asenals game last week then somebody said about some sort of protest and putting black bags over the seats ?

Wenger isn't overrated at all. He just needs to change his philosophy

I think we had this conversation before:) In my opinion he is, great managers win things. He just gets teams playing pretty football.

I accept not everyone agrees.

Wenger is a class act. At their best the Arse have played pure football that shits on anything I've seen fron any other English football club - Man U run them a close second on occasions. I'm talking over the last 10 years not this season.
If I was the chairman of a football club I'd love the geezer.

Arsene Wenger has won things though.

The bloke has gone senile though! His built a couple of really decent Arsenal teams - most of which were made of already established Premier League players (Dixon, Winterburn, Parlour, Adams, Seaman, Wright) and later on good players with differing reputation leves that he improved dramatically (Henry, Vieira, Edu, Silva, Lauren, Campbell, Ljunberg, Pires, Kanu, Wiltord)

Apart from Anelka how many of those players were signed as unknown teenagers?

Wengers a good manager but I can not fathom why he's basically taken the philosophy that made him and Arsenal very successful and totally disregarded it for something so unsuccessful.

Yeah he built perhaps one of the greatest premier teams ever. Once. The invincibles. The famous likes of Dixon, Winterburn, Parlour, Adams, Seaman, Wright were already with Arsenal. You can't credit him for those players, though he did add to them to win the league in the build up of creating his one really successful team.

But  in any case I'm talking about since television became colour and we sent a man to the moon.  Truth is he had a successful 4 or 5 years and an unsuccessful 6-7 years.

If I was paying close to £1K for a season ticket I'd be wondering what the point was.

Would you compromise style over results though?

Ideally you'd want both or a happy medium, but if you had to choose, would it be beautiful football or winning things?

Manure run a close second.... and win titles, fa cups, leage cups, european cups.

It's alright playing good football but it doesn't get you anywhere unless you're winning titles!

Barcelona are the only team capable of this!!!

Personally after 6 years of nothing I would go for winning. Thing is I think he could do both if he wasn't seemingly too stubborn to buy in experience.

I'll fully retract my views if it turns out he tried but the board blocked him.

In those 6 years Arsenal have come close to winning alot of times in various competitions. Wengers failure to strengthen slightly to make that final push is his failure. That gap is now even bigger and his job is a damn site harder.
