Arsene Wenger. A Thousand Games

[Foolinthetoon]

Top manager eh?
Bet his coat stinks mind

He just might end the trophy drought this season though, FA cup has Arsenal written all over it.

Still can't believe we messed it up, should have beaten Wigan convincingly

One of the greatest managers in the game with a remarkable list of achievements. The impact he has had on Arsenal is incredible and he will leave a legacy to the club which stretches far beyond the pitch. Three League titles, one undefeated, and four FA cups within the first 500 games is fantastic but the second half of his rein is perhaps what sets him apart. In any of the last 9 years, he could have walked away from Arsenal and into any club in the world. There is no doubt in my mind that if had left the club after the move to The Emirates, it would be Arsenal, not Arsene Wenger who would be in a worse position today.

Absolutely. The fact that he still hasn't signed that new contract with what, three months to go, deeply worries me. I feel that he'll call it a day if we fail to get the FA cup. But then, if we win it, he might take the opportunity to leave on a high note. It's a little bit of a Catch-22. He's brought us to a fantastic position, with a beautiful, revenue driving stadium, a solid experienced squad with the right amount of youth potential bubbling away, and financially in a very good position as well. That worries me too. Maybe he feels he's in his 60s and its time to take things easier in life, and perhaps he feels he's set the club up perfectly for the next man to take over. If/when that happens (yes I do have a lingering hope he'll be our manager for eternity, somehow), the next manager is going to have perhaps the second biggest pair of shoes to fill in football, after wee Davie taking over at Old Trafford. I just can't imagine anyone who could hope to replace what he brings to the club.

Wenger is an absolute legend. One of the best things ever to happen to English football.

Best manager we've ever had, still won 3 titles and 4 cups, his next trophy may be coming soon (in his 1011th game), but I find it very sad that all people talk about is the trophy statistics, rather than the type of football we produced. The football we played from 2002 till 2004 I have not seen in english football before or since.
The split among arsenal fans is not down to Wengers achievements and abilities, its down to what sort of fan can afford to go to arsenal these days, its a totally different argument.

Hopefully your manager has a little more ambition than you have. The FA cup is great, but it's the Premier League title and/or the Champions League that would represent going out on a high note for someone of Wenger's ability.

Wenger is staying even if we win the double, he never signs a new contract till the old one runs out. Hes done it for 18 years, and will sign again this summer,.

Not anymore.

1000th game, another bottlejob

He is a loathsome, bitter, duplicitous twat and I can't wait to hear his whining excuse for yet another battering this season.
