Merci Arsène

[say yes]

Can't you just leave it mate?

Wenger has left the club and this is the ONE thread on the forum where people can pay their respects to him and remember the good times. There have been countless other threads where people have said ad infinitum all of the negative things they wished about Wenger. You can still do that in any other thread on the forum. No one here has forgotten how things ended or the mistakes that were made along the way.

But can't we just have this one thread, just the one, to remember all the great things he has done for the club?

Come on buddy. I literally underlined how unconfrontational I was trying to be.

If it’s still too soon I apologise. Just thought that: (i) it’s been a year; (ii) nobody’s died; and (iii) it’s interesting how attached people remain to the big man.

Hard not to be attached to Wenger given the time he spent here and the journey he went on. Attachment only grew stronger in the tougher times as the knives unfairly came out, yet he still conducted himself with class.

I’m less interested in Arsenal now that Wenger isn’t here.

Join the club, mate.

I think it is inevitable. This sport is fueled by passion and emotion.
Surely there has been at least one Arsenal player you grew really fond of?

Well nothing wrong being attached to Wenger mate , be attached to as many things/people as you want in life mate it's healthy and better than the alternative.

If I now looked back at a video of his time here, all I'd end up doing is remembering where I was, what I was doing, or who I was doing, at the that particular time; a holiday I had that year, or if anything happened outside of football that was particularly terrible or great. I'm watching the football but I'm reminiscing. As you say, you grow out of it.

You just know Arsène is out there somewhere waiting for kick off just like the rest of us. I hope the team give him and us something to smile about for the next few days.

Still wearing his Arsenal tracksuit bottoms. Tremendous from the big man.

What a man. Keeps his tracksuit bottoms and probably loads of other kit but gives away his medals to staff memwho didn't get one. Once a Gooner....eh?

Greatest thing that happened to Arsenal was Arsène Wenger. Still can't believe we had Arsène Wenger!

Greatest thing that happened to Arsenal was Arséne Wenger. Still can't believe we had Arséne Wenger!

He made Arsenal Great.

Whoah that's his best interview yet , the stuff on perception and psychology is pretty darn interesting.

[Tosker]

the sort of role he was destined for, though I would like to see him have some input in cleaning up FIFA's act

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Hard to see a guy like Wenger working at FIFA. Think he'd end up walking away in disgust.

 

[Toby]

NOO! I don't want to see Wenger anywhere around that FIFA ****

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Wenger will take down the baddies from within .

He is certainly talking about Cesc here.
He had that curious habit of always looking around to think forward of where he will pass once the ball reaches to him.

Basically, I came to the conclusion that it is about getting as many information as possible before I get the ball. I call that scanning, I try to see what happens to a player in the 10 seconds before he gets the ball, how many times does he take information and the quality of information he takes, depends on the position. What is interesting is that good players, the very good, scan 6 to 8 times in the last ten seconds before we get the ball, the normal ones 3 to 4 and we notice that is a major step for improvement…however, more important, you have to analyze the quality of its perception, decision making. My challenge is to get my players to know which the best choice is and make the optimal decision every time they get the ball
