FA cup Final

Big big pressure for Arsene to deliver otherwise genuinely will be seen as a failure for Gunners fans

So much flair and nothing to show for so long

Average goalkeeper
Defenders who only Gunners fans really rate
More playmakers than any other team but lack steel of true class
Loves playing wingers as central strikers although cant knock it given who he`s converted over the years (Henry, RVP, Walcott, et al)

Ive ran into so many `Wenger out ` threads but they are consistent top five if flattering to deceive when it comes to the final hurdle

Actually they are consistent top 4, not top 5, and for me that is the problem!! The goal these days in the prem for the top teams is to finish in the top 4 and get CL football the following season. The League title is definitely diminished due to this and the real money and exposure for all these teams is there if they reach the group stages of the CL. Gone are the days when finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th was considered a let down unless the title race is very close!!

So to answer your question, the Arsenal board will keep Wenger on as long as he wants to do the job just like MU did with SAF. The risk of getting a Moyes in and not finishing in the Top 4 like MU did means they will settle for a top 4 finish and an occasional Cup final!!

I really the Gunners. And I really like Wenger.

Wenger his trammelled by his own principles and his desire to put the club first - compare with the likes of Harry Redknapp who leaves a trail of debt wherever he manages - and has only recently started spending money on older, less malleable players.

I often wonder how much money Arsenal have lost since Bosman due to players seeing out their contracts and Wenger's adherence to a solid wage structure?

If this season had 10 or 12 games to go things could have got really interesting. Arsenal just need to start a season well and then continue rather than pick up the pace from November/December onwards.

I think next season could be their year.
