@Dukuzumuremyi

NOOOOooooo... not you!!!
other comments from fans in the past but this one reminded me of them
----------------
Herbert Chapman is Arsenals greatest ever manager, he did not go out and purchase the French World Cup Winning Team to build success.
------------------

Surely Henry was in the team before the world cup?

Why cant the arsenal "supporters" who jeer your most successful manager realise that your club is going through a transitional stage?
===========
Those who jeer and boo are wrong, imo, in their venting of frustrations.

BUT... it doesn't mean they are wrong in wanting change. You say we are in transition, isn't that the best time to bring in a new manager with new ideas, new contacts and a new direction?

Did all those clubs you mention stick with the same manager?

No Goonz. The world cup was in 1998, the year we had Anelka, Bergkamp, Wright, Wreh and Boa Morte.
Henry was signed in 99

Passion, that statement about Chapman was made by Sandy not me (if I am understanding your comment correctly)

@Dukuzumuremyi
I know, I can read. But you seem to have read my comments upside down, I was never talking about you!

If AW does leave then along with Bertie Mee and George Graham has to be classed as one of the best managers Arsenal have had and will have for a long while to come. If Mourinho can leave a club because of a row with players then who wants him and how long would he stay? He's always been a bit of a nomad. Can't managers and players get over their differences like adults.
Anyway I can only agree with all the op has posted about Arsenal in the last 15 years. It' been a run that I did not expect them to maintain for this long and their standards have been nothing short of excellent and their football of the highest quality.I remember when Spurs were the same and Arsenal were behind us(it'll happen again when Wenger leaves<Smiley>. If he does go to RM then they will be successful.

Just as a sidenote Dukuzumu,where do you come from with a username like that?

Passion,

Oh, I see. The "No not you" was in response my comment about if it was aimed at me!!

I seem to be confusing myself!

Wong,
Dukuzumuremyi is a Rwandan name meaning "Praise be to God". Jesus needs no explanation and Mackanakaron is my surname. Jr is because I share my name with my father.

Whoever replaces AW if he goes will be under huge pressure. I wouldn't envy him.

So you're from Rwanda.....love it.

Maybe we should get a "Bruce Rioch" to bridge the gap!

So your father was from Scotland then?

posted on 25/1/12

Nah Mr Wong, Mackanakaron is also a Rwandan name.
We had to flee during the 90s civil war, luckily before the 94 genocide.

But you can call me D'Jeezus Mackaroni if you like. Or D'J.

Dukuzumuremyi....................You were very lucky to get out. Don't know exact numbers but I understand somewhere between 500,000 and a million people were massacred.

Good on you for escaping

Yes I'm Dawn. By your reaction I feel that you might have heard of me before but hey it's a new year.

If you lose Wenger then you'll be losing much more than a manager. The modern day Arsenal IS Wenger. A lot of younger Arsenal fans have only known his era and think the style of play he espouses is the 'Arsenal way' when in fact the 110 years of history prior to his arrival established Arsenal as the true example of negative but effective football (like Stoke are today). George Graham is more the traditional Arsenal manager. Wenger is a genius for getting a club with that image to so effectively adopt the Tottenham way of playing.

genius Thanks,

Miss Wong CT, yes I have heard the myths.

Hey,I post what I think and never provoke. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong. I'm a lonely character here in Switzerland and use this site as my only real means of communication with others. Like most women I prefer the company of men so here I am. I can also let off steam on here but I mean nothing maliciously and never have.

The myth of the Dawn Wong.. fabled across JA606.. Profetically speaking I cant imagine there can be any other.. cos two wong's dont make a wight.

There's no way Wenger would go to Madrid because even he knows that he won't even last a season there. The expectations of the Madridistas are way too high and his philosophy is never going to work there.

=========

His philosophy?? Wenger has no qualms about spending big to land top quality players! Do you really think he's trying to bring youth talent through to prove a point??

It's out of necessity that Arsenal have to blood young talent...or try to. If he went to Madrid he would be more than happy to put a team together using funds...just like he did pre-Emirates move.

The idea that he would go to R Madrid and then have a transfer policy like he does at Arsenal is wrong. IMO he would relish the chance to show what he can do with one of the top clubs in World football.
