Merci Arsène

[dashsnow17]

It's not hypocrisy that suddenly everyone is starting to appreciate his greatness, it's just human nature. It hasn't even begun, it will be appreciated much more in the following years. But every Arsenal fan worth their salt will respect him as our greatest manager. Only Utd fans can talk to us because only they have had a manager in recent memory in the same category as Wenger. Fans of any other club have no right to speak.

It's at times like this, when we look back on his achievements, that that sorry excuse for a club a few miles away is shown up for the meaningless, momentary fart-in-a-bath that it is.

People often use Arsenal as a joke these days, but they simply have poor memories and shallow knowledge. It is The Arsenal and it's one of the greatest clubs in the world, don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

'Almost the Pep Guardiola of his time.'

Give me a bucket, f*ck me.

I'm in shock. Is this really happening? Not going to admit this outside of this forum, but i literally have tears in my eyes now. I'm going to miss you Arséne. No matter who comes into replace you and however much success or failure we have, it just will not be the same. My only wish is that our new manager, who ever it is will genuinely love the club as much as this man did.

And please, this is not the time to gloat. We've all wanted something to change for years now and we've got our wish. I'm sure most of us would've taken 10 more years of Wenger if he'd just found a way to win again, to bring wengerball back again, to be relevant again in the age of people circle jerking over pep, pochetino and klopp, but we've seen that it was just not to be. So everyone, even the most ardent wenger supporter knows he needed to go but this is still the most visceral change to arsenal football club in 20 years. Please, respect the man and respect the emotions associated with this.

Unfortunately we have members on this forum who have no class or respect and wish to spew vitriolic abuse aimed at anyone who is rightfully emotional about this.

Credit for doing the right thing finally. I hope that in the years to come myself and others who have felt frustrated and let down by Wenger can remember the good times and forget these last few years. Hopefully he'll be given a statue outside which I think would be deserved and find some enjoyment outside of football. As for the club, here's hoping we're going onwards and upwards in this new chapter.

You're on your way back

Stewart Robson is really a ****ing bitter old ****.

Think a Wilshere tweet about Wenger will end me.

 

[SA Gunner]

Damn, reading Wenger's statement makes me regret the negative things I said about him in the last two years.

Dont we all, dont we all.

But I have no doubt, that every single person here has true love and respect for Arsène Wenger.

Every single one of us.

Jack's probably crying over the post right now and considering the send button.

The list is endless. Will we ever see such a great figure again in this game? United fans can cry Fergie all they want... There's a little extra that comes with the class and dignity in which Arsène performed his duties. I wish I was half the man he is.

Tony Adams with some high praise for the man

The absolute cheek of Adams and a few other journos after some of the very nasty personal and ott criticism they threw at him just to fill their columns. When Wenger's statue goes up,so should one of Vieira-our greatest ever manager and captain immortalised. Shut up Tony.

Thought the same thing but I bet a few of them are filled with shame as some of us are on this forum. Right decision or not the man deserves our respect. Sorry @Makingtrax in that regard you have always been right.

Just from reading the tributes from ex players like Cesc and RVP you can see how much he meant to them. One of the last in the game, that sees players as people and not just commodities.
