Did think it was a bit odd, even for you.

Perhaps you don’t make it to enough games to have realised what I was talking about?

perhaps a little more wit and less obsurity might help.

just a suggestion.

Gotta disagree though.

Though Wenger may at times be a tad cringe worthy, on the whole I entirely support his views on affairs.

As for whether I would turn on him - never.

He has showed us real football - can’t go back to the george graham days now - perhaps the worst insult we can give your lot is that we play the real football that the spuds were famous for.

He is responsible for the infrastructure and taking the club to a new level, and his building process has allowed us to compete and build a new stadium / training facilities, with a team that (hopefully) will deliver.

Though you may hate us with a passion, and detest any win we achieve, at least you can admire (most of) the football.

As for the biggest c*nt in the game - he can’t be that till robbie savage retires - we all know that !

Thanks to Bagel for explaining how our side has improved during Jol’s reign.

In response to whether Jol has “Spurs in his heart” I would say this.

He is a dignified, decent individual who appears to care very much about the fortunes of our football club. He is not arrogant or self serving. He treats opponents with respect. He does not get involved in childish histrionics on the touch line. He is always willing to speak to the media and always attempts to give a fair assessment of a match. Not some blind, biased version of events that nobody else recognises.

Now, all of this on its own is not enough to win matches and just like many other managers he has his flaws. But at least we have a manager who we want to get behind, who we are happy to have at the helm and whose name we will gladly sing, win or lose.

I grant you that in Wenger you have a very talented and successful manager. But he is also one of the biggest cunts in the game who is often a complete embarrassment to your football club. Don’t tell me that he doesn’t make you cringe from time to time?

I suppose a few more seasons withouth winning anything and you might not be able to stomach the prick for much longer. Just a thought.

But the board are not talking about cups, they and the rest of the footballing world are talking about getting into the CL.

That means improvement in the league, which, as I stated, is not happening.

People have mentioned comparisons with the chelsea situation, and getting mourinho in to replace ranieri, I think this situation more closely resembles the vialli sacking.

Vialli took over from gullit, made some waves, got some results, the fans loved him, but then, after an indifferent start to the season, was replaced.

Sound familiar ?

At the time there were unhappy players rumblings ?

Again, sound familiar ?

Many teams have not been able to cope with fighting the fight on so many fronts at once. Most sides just drift in and out of the UEFA spots and even the the Top Four concede the Carling Cup to second string sides to lighten the load. It’s even happening with the FA Cup as we saw last season.

We played 19 more games last season than the one before. That’s an increase of nearly 50% and most certainly a step to the good

The Bagel.

As I speculated earlier, this seems to be a reminder to MJ that he is expected to perform, if they were seriously thinking about replacement, it should have happened pre-season. If it is a knee jerk reaction, then the board are to blame for making the financial commitment without qualifying whether the right person was in charge.

I would have to disagree with Hornchurch Yid that MJ had the club in his heart, he has stated that football is just a payday to him, and after 5 years he’ll leave football and look elsewhere for paymasters.

Also would beg to differ that he has consistantly sent the club forward each year. Last year, you had less points that the previous season, and the gap to 4th had increased. Besides staying in the cups longer - not difficult as you were knocked out of the first round of everything the previous year, there is no improvement at all.

Perhaps you could explain how he has taken your “club foward consistently” ?

They then call a press conf to unveil the new manager that the board have been chasing to replace Martin. Fanfare and flashlights and out steps “twitchy” Redknapp.

What a coup!

Anyway, it’s all ideal preparation to face the champions at Old Trafford on Sunday.
