Having watched the Manchester derby, I asked myself a question that most of you must have had in mind way before this game, is Man United personnel really that far ahead of Arsenal and other teams?
I consider myself a Wengerite, I think he is the right man for the job but for him to be reduced to a top four manager is unacceptable to us Arsenal fans. He should stand up to Fergie more often because I believe we would have bottled the titled challenge ala spurs but i would rather that than a top 4 challenge.
Arsenal fans, the media and the rest need to get over the sale of RVP. He openly stated that he would not renew his contract with us and Wenger and Kroenke cashed in and re-invested that hardly. The common statement that RVP is the reason Man United are where they are is now being over-used considering that he has gone on a dry spell for a while now. Dont get me wrong he is world class but the reason why Man U are on top is because the other 19 teams have been crap and they have cashed in on 3 points when it matters the most.
Watching Man U games this season as a gunner fan, makes me wish we at least won half the games we lost and we might have at least challenged for the title.
If Wenger is to leave the club I would rather he leaves us at the stage where we are knocking for honours. I love how he helped us finish third last season with that squad, a little bit more investment we would have been higher up. Our players should be ashamed of playing for a top 4 finish to save their careers especially on those wages
Arsene do something

Don't try to justify the selling of RVP to United. Was wrong then. Is wrong now.

man utd have kagawa cleverley on bench for giggs and wellbeck. SAF rather get local lads rather then the talent. In a way he is like arsene wenger however crap the player is he will play them.

We'll win it next year. I honestly believe we'll spend this summer, we'll win the league, and Wenger Retires upon the expiration of his contract, remembered as the man who 'sailed Arsenal through the storm and returned them to glory'.
Wishful thinking, I know, but I've had too many omnious dreams.

mafiaboy I was saying about wellebeck and giggs playing even though they are our 2 worst performing players this season. Also cleverly has been part of man utd for ages, he was 11 years old when he came to man utd.

@ Penguin of only hey. Sadly it seems he has undone all his good work and breaking all sorts of records such as losing to league two side, the fa cup exit, lowest points tally etc

So, you can consider him as a local lad.. contradicting to your own comment, i.e. SAF chosen local lads over foreigners despite they are crap?
