What amazes me is how good LVG's record is against the so called big teams yet we play so poorly against weaker teams. It's like we can get rid of the guy! :D

He's been good in spells, he can clearly motivate the team some of the time and it's generally been better since he's dropped the stupid possession philosophy. Sadly I fear the damage is done and it's taken him far too long to realise his mistakes.

He's also not really been himself since he joined, a bit subdued etc, his antics today were more what people were hoping for.

+1

While we still have everyone (apart from Arsenal) above us still to play - unless Arsenal drop a lot more points from now on (and City probably have the best squad in the top 6, are mathematically closer to Utd) I cant see Utd getting top 4 although we could be much closer

As long as Martial and Rashford aren't out for too long, we might actually start scaring teams again :D

Damage was done in Dec /Jan really

Leagues far from over, Arsenal have the easier of run ins out of the top 4

I'm not sure how you figure that. Arsenal have Man City and Tottenham to face. Tottenham have Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea to face. Leicester have Man Utd and Chelsea to face. Man City have Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal to face. I'd say Leicester have the easier run in of the four.

Moreover, all but Leicester have other competitions they're still playing in to distract them from chasing the Premier title.

Wonder what Wengers excuse will be this year if Arsenal somehow contrive to throw their title chance away.

That his players lost confidence because no one tried to tap them up, they lost confidence that they were good enough. As I keep saying at least City have decided this years league standard wasn't good enough and booted out those responsible for not getting consistency. Same for Chelsea. Manu and Arsenal will just carry on losing ground and chances of the better managers while they stand around looking stunned.
 
Just got home from White Hart Lane. Looking forward to making some popcorn and catching up on this thread.

UPDATE: Lack of drunkenmaster rant disappointing but great Angry Thumb gifs. :D

So good news for Utd fans is that LVG will probably be in charge for next season as well :p. Well I hope so, thankfully Arsenal have given LVG a nice little lifeline for his job:p.

Even if by some miracle we win the title, still want Wenger to go. It's time he left, he hasn't got it in him anymore to win us a title. And no winning the FA cup for the 3rd straight time isn't going to make me happy. Our best chance of winning the title and we just consistently **** it up. Either by Wenger's brainless subs or starting line ups ie starting Walcott who along with Ramsey are beyond terrible. Then he has a penchant of starting Flamini as well in games, where without a doubt he will somehow find a way to **** things up for us.

Wenger needs to go, a few players need to be pushed out as well. All this crap about self belief from Wenger is just that, absolute crap. I don't see this team with any self belief to win the title this season.
 
Interesting.

o I'm now on the train back to London. Last time we lost to Chelsea I got banned for a month. I'll try to be measured but:

There are probably few on here that go to as many games week in week out as me. Season ticket. Only missed the Christmas period games. Today was my 8th away game this season (home and abroad). Have been at all cup home games including the Mickey Mouse cup. Going to the Barca away leg which no doubt will be a disaster.

I know I am lucky and privileged to be able to do so. But I also think the money I spend and amount I see this team gives me a right to an opinion even if it goes against people who question my loyalty.

Wenger has to go. He is not up to it. Won't spend the £150m or whatever amount of cash we have. He is too loyal to players not up to it. He won't make the hard decisions on dropping players out if form. He says he doesn't want to buy too many players (more than 2-3) as it will disrupt the team but then buys nobody and leaves gaping holes where it is painfully obvious that we need help for years. Tactically he is weak. Too many big games we are beat before we start.

This year and 2 years ago were prime chances for us to win the league if he had bought well. 2 years ago Walcott crocked so he buys a player with a broken back. This year both transfer windows have been utterly ludicrous. And if people say we can't sign anyone better than what we currently have they are being delusional.

The league is gone. Worse it will probably be Spurs. Worse they deserve it. A young manager going places.

This train is like a morgue. Coming up people weren't optimistic but now it is depressing.

Wenger did great things but his time is up. The sooner the better

whoa whoa whoa... I'm not having that, look a few posts up from yours ffs :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:



:p


I'm most angry that a rant I made maybe 7-8 years ago would still be exactly applicable to the game today, we lost for the same reasons, the same type of players, the same types of decision from starting line up to bench to substitutions.

Wenger has needed to go for years, I honestly want us to lose now till we fire him. He's become incompetent and literally every single other team in the world would have fired him for the lack of genuine title fights in the past decade years ago. LIke I said, most managers would get 2 years at least with his previous history, Wenger should have gotten 4, 5 years absolute max though frankly only if he was making obvious changes and attempts to improve the situation. A decade of the same mistakes, the same types of players getting away with rubbish performances or inability to stay fit while being rewarded with every increasing wages, all while charging Arsenal fans more than any other team in the country... pitiful.

Failure is fine by me, we get a manager and he sucks, I'm fine with that. Trying and failing is fine, it's the utter and complete acceptance of our situation that does my head in. Wenger, the board, the players, they are all absolutely fine with failing every year, none of them care.
