Why on earth would they prefer that? Wenger did some brilliant stuff for Arsenal mid-to-late 90's and early to mid 2000's, transformed them as a football club and made them into one of the biggest clubs in Europe. That would not have happened under Graham. Wenger's stale and not really achieved anything of note in the last 7-8 years, but that shouldn't mean the great work he did should be forgotten.

I was thinking in terms of time spent in tenure, in comparison Graham won more.
 
A question to the Arsenal fans, and be honest. Would you rather have had George Graham remain, playing "that style" of football, and never experienced Arsene Wenger ?

I don't think you'll find a single fan that had wished Wenger had never come along! He's given the club some of its greatest moments.

Just that a growing number that think he should have called it a day by now.

Would like to put the "style of football" myth to rest - it's been a long time since we've played attractive football.
 
View attachment 22168News is being reported there was a bust up at training which led to Sanchez being dropped to the bench and not as reported, the tactics, which Wenger didn't actually use!

Just the Arsenal PR machine spinning into action to deflect blame from AW when our best player leaves in the summer.
 
Twickenham has a lot of restrictions on it regarding how often it can be used, what times things have to be over by. The grass for a rugby pitch is also quite different to that needed for football. I would be hugely surprised if Twickenham was used.

And, its not any easy place to get to on public transport...

And, of course [as already mentioned] there's the weeing in the streets by the great unwashed...

Twickers is a rugby town after all and they don't do stuff like that much...
 
My own view was that the Bournemouth player did not stamp on Ibra, the contact was accidental. There was no second movement in order to place his foot on his head, he was just putting his foot down. Old Zlatan however knew exactly what he was doing and should get a healthy ban.
 
Yep, pretty obvious to me.

Look at the force he put his foot down with, having looked where Ibra's head was.

No concern for the wellbeing of the player - having known he caught him - and the previous between the two earlier in the game, makes it pretty clear cut to me.

Wouldn't be harsh if he didn't play again this season.
 
Ibra should get an extended ban also by the way, and an extra game for saying Mings jumped into his elbow.
 
If Chelsea don't use Wembley and Twickenham is out of the question, where do they go from there. Not really that many options around. Should be a tasty atmosphere for the match tonight and the Met's finest might be busy

I hope our forum leg end will be on his best behaviour tonight :)
