It was a tactic that obviously didn't work out that great but , you win some you lose some.
Obviously some work to do by Wenger as team isn't clicking as well as it should but need to get behind the team and manager and kick on to the end of the season.

Bottom line is if he doesn't make top 4 this year it will be his first failure so let's cut him some slack.

With the likes of City Chelsea and United hell bent on winning the league every year top 4 is probably as good as it gets anyway.

If your seasons objective is making the top 4 which yours most obviously is then yes this could be he 1st failure. As mine is winning the league then I see a dozen failures.

It's a good result for you at the right time, but it is against a team that traditionally doesn't do Well against other top 4 teams and I wouldn't get too carried away as you've played 1 more game than everyone else, yes I'd rather have the points on the table but.......it's a good scrap for 4th between the 3 of you 😉 United not winning saved Wenger even more blushes, unless your in total denial that is 😜

I would be disappointed if Mings gets a ban for that, it looks to me that he is trying to jump to the side of Ibra and chase the play as Utd are attacking. If he wanted to stamp he would have properly hit him and not just clipped his pony tail.

Thought Wenger was the greatest tactician since Erwin Rommel? 6th if you're lucky.

Of course goal is to win the league but if not possible then top 4 is the next target. I don't know how many times we keep going over this.

Yes yours is winning the league you buy all the best players , it should be. And each year you will look with jealousy on teams around you and take their crown jewels lol. Like Kante last year and probably Sanchez next year.

It's a dog eat dog world and all clubs do this , the only difference is that Chelsea and City use someone else's billions to do it.

Fine but don't knock traditional club models when it doesn't compete with your model.

You buy the league , others have to earn it.

You need to look at the balance of spending and selling. Great business by Chelsea, but not Arsenal. The nett is in Chelsea's favour both in terms of the balance sheet and league positions in the last 10 years. Looks like Arsenal aren't that good with money after all.

Only if you measure success by making the top 4. If you measure it as winning the league then its his 13th failure in a row

Glad Arsenal don't buy other clubs top players otherwise we could all be in trouble. Why should I knock your model that obviously doesn't work

Oh please don't let facts get in the way of his argument, let him have his moment to embarrass himself more than he does daily.

They try, but they won't go, Vardy turned them down and at his stage of his career that speaks volumes.

But he's satisfied with that and has said as much, a domestic Cup and CL qualification and Sawtooth is satisfied.

All hail Wenger 😂😂
