The myth of the decline of Wenger. By CI

Unlike many fans on the Just Arsenal website I am very pro Wenger. He has stuck with this club through thick and thin. When his best players, which he created, were leaving, when (and even now) we were having strong financial constraints. Would you really expect Wenger to willingly sell his best players and not replace them adequately? This is wholly down to the board, while Wenger has openly taken flak for something which I don’t believe is his fault. And I’m not surprised he hasn’t quit because of this pressure from the anti Wenger brigade.

The facts about Arsenal’s decline since 2006 by William Patey

There is no doubt that the manager has been restricted by financial constraints with the new stadium but that limitation should have had no affect on strengthening the team during the last 2 seasons. .......Read the full article here

Try Something New! by GP

Happy New year to you all

I watched the Newcastle game with anticipation, anger at the defence, pride in our persistence to keep scoring, and finally relief that we managed to win and still have a game in hand.

The performance at Southampton disappointed me because it just highlights the facts.

Much as some of us try to think positive, the performances remind us that we are a million miles from where we would like to be.

Arsene Wenger revolutionised English football but in my opinion, his refusal to believe he could learn from others has been his and our down fall. .......Read the full article here
