You've got me by there that's a hard one to call

So does that mean every other manager in the league will have to step down as well.

So you're happy to continue then?

Wenger has been a great manager for Arsenal but time and time again we are seeing his stubbornness which is costing us a chance of he title. Refuses to bring new players in because they are not a bargain. Refusal to change tactics. Refusal to drop players who are out of form. etc.

Managers other than Wenger have been sacked for failing to perform after earlier success. You cant keep a manager because of what they achieved years ago. If they're not performing for a reasonable period they should go.

Your owner is as rich as City's, will it be Wengers fault if he won't invest if Leicester fail and City win it?

I think he's been a superb manager for Arsenal, the best you've ever had
--------------------------------------

No, he isn't the best we've ever had. That's highly contestable, but many seem to take it for granted as a fact.

Will always support Wenger. And the question is who should we appoint.

Your owner is as rich as City's
-----------------------------------------

No, he isn't. I get your point though. We've underutilized our resources. But that little detail is far from true.

Maybe Wenger saw all the dross that City spent megabucks on and decided to play with the players he's got.

Confident against Leicester?

Njoy your teams game against the Ch.vs today?

The challenge for Wenger will not necessarily be why he didn't win it but where does he go from there even if he has the owners backing.

We have so many aging players in our squad and we probably need a bit of an overhaul in the summer.

Flamini, Arteta, Rosicky, Cazorla, Giroud, Mertesacker, Cech, Debuchy, Monreal, Koscielny all will be around that mark where they either need to be replaced or shouldn't be in the clubs long term plans, and after that it's like we have a missing generation - only Ozil and Sanchez stand out as a definite part of the clubs future.

Does Wenger have it in him to rebuild once again? I suspect if he wins the league he might get one more season out of this squad, but if he doesn't, I wonder if he might just throw in the towel. He will be more aware than anyone the risk of "doing a SAF" and leaving his successor with a over-bloated squad of has-beens chasing one last bit of success.

Cech has a least another five seasons.

I think Santi, Giroud, Cech, Monreal and Kos still have a good few years to offer. Also, don't take it for granted than Ozil and Alexis would want to stick around to watch the lack of ambition at the club.

I think his contract is up next summer do u want him to re new it mate?

He'll be 34 at the end of this season, so you're suggesting he'll play for us until he's 39.

How many keepers achieve that at a top club? Only Buffon comes to mind in the modern era and he plays in a much slower paced league.

I think Van Der Sar was touching 40 when he played his last United game?

Wasn't van dar sar old?

Of course he should he call it a day if Leicester or Spurs win the league.

We have not won the league for 10 years whereas United, Chelsea and City have all won it plus 2 during that period

To all the hardcore Wenger fans. Say if he left and managed in Spain or Italy, would you still support Arsenal?

"I think Santi, Giroud, Cech, Monreal and Kos still have a good few years to offer. Also, don't take it for granted than Ozil and Alexis would want to stick around to watch the lack of ambition at the club."

Without a doubt they do, but I wouldn't want a new manager to come in in around 2 or 3 years time and have to do what Moyes and now LvG have had to do and rebuild the squad from the ground up because their predecessor didn't bother, knowing he was on his way out

"I think his contract is up next summer do u want him to re new it mate?"

Depends, really. If he did lose the league this season to Spurs or Leicester I think almost everyone, bar the Arsene FC lot, would find it very difficult to advocate him staying on
