debosky:
I wish that would happen, but I suspect it won't. I just hope the presence of Gazidis will ensure that we are better run and that the gaffer is given funds to buy what he wants, without necessarily selling unless he doesn't want a given player anymore.

The fissure in the relationship between Arsenal and Arsene Wenger is about respect. Wenger feels he is getting little from the board of directors and supporters and his mild encouragement to Real Madrid, now withdrawn, was his shot across the bows. Carry on like this and see what happens.

Wenger does not want to leave, he wants to carry his latest project to fruition and has an almost evangelical faith in its success. Key to this mission, however, is honesty. He needs his employers publicly to make clear Arsenal's financial capabilities in the transfer market and that way the supporters will understand why he works as he does and will be sympathetic. It is not much to ask.

We live in unique times. The rich diet of reality television and the internet has turned every aspect of modern life into a vox pop. Vote her in, vote him out, post a response, have your say. This is the age of entitlement, with everybody staking a claim to all aspects of public life, and even death.

So we vote for a teenage break dancer or create the star of a West End show, then move on to judging the parents of vanished children or the cancer-stricken. Piers Morgan lists his footballers of the year and Dr Fox tells us who has got talent.

We cannot call an election over expenses fraud or force an investigation into the Iraq War, but feel overweeningly empowered on random factors and trivia.

This is why, on Saturday, when Carlos Tevez was substituted by Sir Alex Ferguson for Manchester United against Arsenal, the decision was loudly booed.
Think about that. A man closing in on his 11th title and one win away from becoming the first to retain the European Cup in its modern format, and some people still do not trust him to know what his team should be. Simon Cowell has a lot to answer for.

Ferguson deserved better than to have one of his greatest seasons reduced to a row over a player who has been, in essence, an impact substitute, and Wenger deserves more than to be decried and undermined inside a stadium that was as good as built on his wit and intelligence.

A deal was struck between Wenger and the board long ago. The directors delayed the construction of the Emirates Stadium throughout the time Manchester United were turning Old Trafford into one of the greatest arenas in Europe. This meant Wenger could invest in his team, which was very successful.

When the work began, however, it was clear that there would be some years of austerity for the Arsenal manager, which he accepted, without complaint. The arrangement spoiled in the refusal of the board to acknowledge publicly phase two of the schedule: the part where the football suffers.

Whenever a prominent Arsenal director is asked about transfer resources, he trots out the same line. If the manager wants a £30million player, he says, we will find the money for him.

This is not the same as saying the manager has £30m to spend. Finding the money could mean anything, including the sale of one asset, such as Emmanuel Adebayor, to finance the acquisition of another.

That is no substitute for the club pulling out £30m in funds to bolster a squad that is, by popular consent, two or three experienced players away from challenging for the Premier League title. All it does is make Wenger look like a miser; or a madman.

Dissatisfaction stems from this confusion, because it is perceived Wenger has money to spend but is unconcerned, digging in his heels and preferring to rely on callow youth and an ethos of beautiful football, as fragile as a butterfly's wings.

The picture is painted of a radical man increasingly entrenched in his theories, determined to prove the world wrong. The supporters see this as selfish and egotistical and are increasingly frustrated. After all, why would a manager with £30m in the bank leave it to sit while his team tumble backwards?

Had Aston Villa not imploded, Arsenal would have failed to qualify for the Champions League. As it is, they will be the only English team needing to pre-qualify and were Premier League also-rans from early on. The acquisition of the brilliant Andrey Arshavin is a positive step, but even he is already making noises about the need for team improvement.

The image of Wenger as unshakable maverick, sacrificing the club on the altar of his principles, is overstated.

Wenger is frequently advised by friends and allies to make the board come clean about the financial constraints, and, when the subject came up in conversation recently, he is said to have told the company with some certainty: 'They will not talk like that again.' It would appear words have been had.

There is nothing to be gained from a fall-out by either side. Given the financial restrictions, another manager might have struggled to keep Arsenal in the top four. If Wenger were to leave now, he could be joined on the way out by a generation of talented young players, not least Cesc Fabregas, who is coveted throughout Spain.

It would be a calamitous event for Arsenal, one that could deposit the club in the wilderness for several years as a new coach tried to regroup without the funds necessary to compete in the elite.

Arsenal are maintained only by a history of Champions League riches and the skill of Wenger in consistently producing virtuoso players on a budget.


By the same token, Real Madrid - or just about any major club in Europe - would present a challenge to Wenger's working methods after his Arsenal experience.

Imagine the look on the president's face when his new coach announces he has no intention of touring lucrative markets in the Far East and will instead spend pre-season in the Austrian Alps followed by a tournament that will take the team no further than downtown Madrid.

Imagine the shock when stellar signings and instant success make way for unknown gems from the African market and noble, five-year plans.

Wenger is a long-term manager when most major clubs make kindergarten-age children look patient. Claudio Ranieri has just been dismissed by Juventus with two matches of the season remaining, because the club could see their Champions League status slipping.

What needs to be dispelled is the misconception that Wenger is an arrogant fool who would rather see his team finish fourth than compromise his principles.

If he is making mistakes in his assessments of certain players - standing by individuals who are patently not up to the job - it is probably because he knows he has no option but to keep faith and be supportive.

In reality, this is the case for followers of Arsenal, too. The board can play their part by facing up publicly to the limitations on Wenger's spending power. Only then will a clear picture of his achievements emerge. Let's face it, if a man like Wenger gets no respect, what chance the rest of the schmucks?

. I'm still trying to get my mind around it, I tell you. How does that type of love happen?

It's not diaby's inability to make complete passes . . . It's the speed at which the passes are made that's incompatible with Diaby's technique. . . Essien makes terrible passes most times . . . Mikel completes most passes . . .
Imagine what kinda controversy i could generate suggesting Essien should be sold because he doesn't make as many complete passes. . . ?
Essien in your team with the same system will look nothing better than a pub player. . .

In this respect, it's the team . . not the player.

Some concerns that come up is what constitutes good and bad? Personally, odometer rollbacks and misrepresentation of a car's condition are "bad" to me but to someone else it might just be a good "business tactic."

Someone might consider sale of rebuilt titles with full disclosure a bad thing, I would consider it OK with full disclosure.

The other issue is how many instances of bad behavior are needed to label a person "bad." A seller might have been really good to one customer but displayed terrible behavior towards another so we have 2 different opinions.

IMHO, it might be easier to make the thread about complaints people desire to air in their dealings with sellers. That way, we may be able to avoid "supporters club members" who will post false info to make their favorites look good.

Did you just see Ronaldo and Anderson with that hilarious 3mins . . . . ?

FBS:
just  to update you. Its 2-1 so far.   Up Hoffenheim.

PS: The Arses are no longer a top team. They are full of shait and should be playing in the championships or league one.

kay_pumpin,
Nice touch.Better luck next season.

Cristalz:
I'm surprised that Tev could produce such a beauty! His wife must be really pretty.

Cristalz:
I doubt that Fergie will make early 2nd half subs, but more urgency needs to be injected into that team as a whole. MF and attack. The performance is just depressing.  .  .

 Goals are what will make things easy for us, not a 0-0 score line. All the players have been flat, not just Tev. If Berba was there, he would even be the worst of them all.  .  .without a doubt. He is not the type to restore urgency to a team.

Edoji:
Don't worry, I would keep the Forum posted. I will reveal the name in due course. What is frightening is the amount of resources being spent to kill this story. I broke the news about the names of the 3 Reps involved. I broke the news about killing the story. The House leadership are now afraid, afraid that the matter is getting out of hand.

In fact, they are furious with the Guardian Newspaper for the story you are talking about, furious that the Guardian broke the story despite the amount of money they spent to suppress the news.

Stay tuned,
