So far Birmingham are looking quite good at the bridge

Chelski and AVB had better pull someting out of the hat pretty quick or the Russian will be getting yet another new manager

End of an era, but at least it was a great era.

I think, it will take years for us to regroup, with or without Arsene, who was and always will be one of the greats of the club.

I don't think many will disagree, but football teams need the right results, and unfortunately he isn't producing the goods at the moment.

I agree but what makes me feel sad is that Wenger brought so many good things to English football that it's sad that in the end his stubborness to stick to his policy (which mainly is correct. i.e. grow young talent, don't spend too much) is going to take him down. Without him the English football wouldn't be as great as it is now. It's the policies of those who have money but no real interest in football that will prevail. Also the sad thing is the spurs supporters who are only happy that Arsenal are failing, are gloating. They don't perhaps realize what's happening in the modern day football.

On the other hand, I said sometime ago, that Martin O'Neill is a great manager and would be a great manager for England, and better than 'Arry.

Terry, since you seem to be so obsessed by Arsene, mention one great manager of Spurs after Bill Nicholson. 'Arry doesn't count as he came from West Ham, another club that you loath.

As an outsider looking in, IS it Wenger or the board who won't spend?

When is the stadium payed off?

On another note, Wenger pisses all over Redknapp or O'Neill from a great height.

Hi BG
Don't get too hung up on my comments............

First - as a Spurs supporter since I was 7 (My father used to take me to most home games - we couldn't afford to go the away games :cry: ) - I have had many ups and downs folllowing my club.
Right now we are flying and I'm making the most of it with the BANTER

Let's face it as a Spurs supporter I'm never going to agree with anything that an Arse supporter says - at least in the heat of the game moment.

Am I obsessed with the Whinge? - not really - but I would say that he has been a truly great manager in the premiership, I'm sure I've said this elsewhere on the forum at least once.
BUT
In the last year or so he has - in my view - definitely lost it, and spends most of his time blaming others for his own undoings - that's sad (and unnecessary) for a great manager.

I agree that Bill Nicholson was the tops, but that was in an era when managers stayed for a while

The only ones in that league today are Ferguson, Moyes and yes the Whinge.

Don't loathe (don't like either :wink: ) West Ham - another great club that has had too many ups and downs (literally) for my liking

Roll on next Sunday :wink:

At the end of the day - English Football is the winner - both in the FA Cup and the Premiership.
