Claims to be a fan....

It is becoming a common thing on here. To many Sp**s and City fans I guess? Like we haven't lost enough games this year already.

The only way Wenger is removed is if we don’t win the Europa. That’s priority no.1 for me.

8 losses this year and the most important game coming up.

Will Wenger change anything? Doubt it.

I doubt we'll even see a change from this.

He'll be glued to his seat throughout the game whilst Gattuso will be shouting at his players from the touchline.

We're not likely to win Europa but you don;t honestly believe that do you. If we lose he'll likely still stay. I'd rather we win.

Wenger out or not, I still want to win!

It's win-win game to me. Sad times.

If Arsenal will win. Say no more, it's great.
If we'll lose, Wenger will be closer to the door.

Could pretty much say that about every game til the end of the season.

If you don't want your team to win, it's not your team.

Sanogo scored against Bayern, Eddie can score against Milan

Think if you knew AG a little better you'd have spotted that pointing this out was exactly his intention....

Oh I didn’t see the irony.

Anyway..

Claims to be a fan....

As much as I like Arsenal F.C. , I also do not want us to win this tie. Getting eliminated by Milan would be the best thing for us in the long term interests of the club.

Elimination from the EL would finish our season and Wenger cannot after that be expected to stay at the club. No way does Wenger remain coach after:
1. Getting eliminated by a Championship side in the first round of the FA cup (a Cup that has saved him his job in the past and a trophy he has won more than anyone else),
2. Finishing 6/7 in the PL way behind the Top Four and Tottenham,
3. Getting destroyed in the League Cup final,
and,
4. Another European Ro16 elimination.

So for the good of this club I do not want us to win this fixture (as it is Arsenal won’t win the EL with the likes of Dortmund, Lyon, Leipzig and Atletico still left)

If we somehow miraculously do win the EL, then Wenger will use it as evidence that he’s still got it and (at worst) maybe get another 2-3 year contract or (at best) see out his current contract and Arsenal will have another season wasted.

So as bad as it might sound, for the greater good of the club I’m willing to endure another Ro16 elimination from Europe. That’s the only way we have any hope of seeing real change this summer.

Hopefully Gatusso does Arsenal and its fans a favour and puts Wenger out of his misery!

It's win-win game to me. Sad times.

If Arsenal will win. Say no more, it's great.
If we'll lose, Wenger will be closer to the door.

^ This is exactly how I feel.
Users can call me a “fake” fan/Sp**s supporter all they want but getting Wenger to leave right now is more important than short term success. Go to any rival team forum and they were gutted that Arsenal didn’t win the Carabao Cup because they knew if Wenger wins another trophy, he will use it as validation to remain manager for more years to come.

Team News:
Aubameyang cup-tied
Monreal out
Lacazette out
Wenger out

Possible lineup:

Cech is in the goal? Are you ok m8?

 

[CJJ]

You can wish Wenger out, but to directly WISH for us to lose is so counterproductive i have no words.

Personally, I hope we ****ing punch their italian teeth in and Wenger gets an EL victory under his belt. Then hopefully Wenger will see that as a sign and hand over the reigns this summer.

I doubt we'll even see a change from this.

He'll be glued to his seat throughout the game whilst Gattuso will be shouting at his players from the touchline.

With Serie A, having to postpone all the matches on weekend, Wenger will already have lined up his excuses as AC Milan dwarf us with a 5-1 drubbing.

I'd stick a back 5 in there just not to get embarrased.

 

[Garrincha]

What happens when the players are just as **** under the next guy? Hoping for relegation?

Criticising players / manager / owners when deserved is healthy but supporters should want the team to win on the pitch.

 

[A_G]

The people who say they don't care or hope we lose always end up being the angriest on here after defeats.

 

[Mo Britain]

Wanting Arsenal to lose for the sake of a cunning plan you have hatched which no-one outside this forum will ever hear of is pathetic. Wanting Arsenal to lose for any reason is pathetic.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

i really hope we show up and perform Milan are on form because if not we are getting outplayed and heavily beaten.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also any Arsenal fan who want his team lose because of Wenger is nothing but a * and troll.

It's like saying you hope you get into a car accident so you can buy a new one.
