Thought this could be a pretty interesting discussion as it seems now nearly everyone actually wants him gone. For myself personally it was after the 2010/2011 season when we got something like 11 points from our last 11 games whilst having a decent shot at the title, coupled with losing to League cup final to Birmingham, going out of CL and FA cup ( to a united team fielding 7 defenders ) all in the space of 10 days.
So the question to you all is, when did you want to see the back of Arsene Wenger ?
I have a distinct memory of saying I wouldnāt defend him again after we blew a 2-0 half time lead against spurs and lost 3-2 which Google tells me was November 2010. But Iām not sure I wanted him gone directly after that or some time after.
Genuinely canāt remember. I was definitely in the pro-wenger camp pre-2014. Probably the 2015/16 was the final straw for me, when we failed to win the league that year I knew we would never win it under him again.
i was always wavering up until the leicester league win. Arsene always got me angry but i always felt surely truly there has to be good in there and he wants the best for this club. When we beat leicester at home and we celebrated i mistakenly thought we celebrated like that because the fucking players and manager had this sorta lifting of the shakles sorta movement and they were gonna get from that win the strength for the final push.
Then what happens, well the exact shit that always fucking happens we go and beat those twats then proceed to lose fucking tonnes of points by playing like utter wankers again. Now every āupsetā and pathetic performance gets me so fucking angry i cant take this manager or team anymore. So badly want 3/4 of the team to fuck off already and wenger to just go away i am sick of seeing him and hearing his bullshit constantly.
Itās been a long process for me. With every big defeat, another petal would fall from the flower. Then around midway though 13/14 there was nothing left. At that stage I was watching my team with zero expectations. I was excited when we signed Ćzil and Sanchez. But with Wenger managing them, I see now that all we did was put lipstick on a pig.
I was never a strong āWenger Outā protester before, though. It was more of a preference - until Leicester won the title, that was the straw that broke the camelās back.
After the Birmingham fiasco at Wembley. Our first chance of silverware , to win a trophy at Wembley and he cannot beat a relegated second flight team . I would have sacked the underachieving manager there and then .
Iāve been up and down but it was the season that Leicester won the title that the line was crossed that couldnāt be recovered from.
Every excuse possible was gone. We were capable of spending money and every club with more money than us was awful. The silverware curse had been broken. Players werenāt leaving anymore so the squad was settled. We beat Leicester twice that season. We were better than Leicester. Leicester were not the problem.
Joint top after 10 games. 2 points clear after 20 games. But none of us believed. We all sat here thinking āno no, weāre going to fuck this up, donāt get excitedā. But as soon as you start thinking maybe we should believe, yet again we bottled it. We didnāt even slightly hang in there in the end.
Thatās when I was convinced that Wenger will never again be able to assemble a team with the mental state to deliver well enough over those nine months.
5-1 Bayern at Emirates. Just embarrassing to lose in that fashion at home but ngl seen some cracks in 15/16, losing the league to Leicester and no outfield signings and faith in some below average players but I seen it as a one off since all other big teams were worse, got excited with our signings then we lose at home like that when we were supposed to be competing with those clubs
Why would anyone want this guy gone? Heās amazing, love and respect to the best Arsenal manager of all time. Heās gonna win the PL again in his time here itās destined to occur.
