Gunners gaffer cannot explain Aston Villa defeat
Never one to admit his own faults, Professor Wenger responded to Saturday’s home defeat to Aston Villa thusly:
There is no rational explanation… there was no energy left in the side. I don’t know.
If you are looking for a rational explanation as to why teams keep dominating your midfield, Mr Wenger, perhaps you should consider the huge Mathieu Flamini-shaped hole that you and your extensive scouting team have failed to adequately fill.
Is Mr Wenger’s cluelessness due to his pride, or is he finally losing it? 25 per cent of Spoiler readers believed it to be the latter two weeks ago, and we are inclined to agree…

I agree. I’ve been watching Arsenal for the past 20 years and Arsene Wenger has got be one of the most arrogant managers we have ever had.
I’ve been criticising him since 2002 but keep getting flamed by me fellow fans.
I used to watch Wengers Monaco side in the late 80’s -90’s and he did the same thing there. He started of well buying and working with the existing experienced players such as Glenn Hoddle, Jurgen Klinsmann & Manuel Amoros and guess what he won titles.
After the first few years the experienced players moved on or they retired. He then resorted to the youths and tried to play champagne football with a team of boys. He also played people out of position countless times.
What happened is that because of Wengers insistence of not bringing in proven players the team declined and Marseille came on the scene. He was then sacked and exiled to Japan where Arsenal found him a few years later.
Since we lost the last remaining members of George Grahams side ie Parlour, Keown, Adams. Plus the players he brought in early on Pires, Vieira, Henry. We have not won anything.
I’m tired of Wenger pursuing his own agenda with our team. We used to be a team that was feared with our solid back four and battling midfielders complimented by gifted attackers but now we are a laughing stock.
He has been a great servant but everything has to end. I’m afraid that Wenger is holding us back now (I can’t remember one Arsenal team in the past 20 years that would have lost to Stoke, Hull and conceded 2 goals to Spurs in injury time
In short he has to go before he takes us out of the top 4 which will happen eventually. I would like him to stay but history has shown that he is very stubborn and will not change.
If this was any other major european club he would have been sacked by now.
We have gone from being a club that realistically challenged for the title every year to one that is just happy to be in the top 4 club with UTD, Chelsea & Liverpool and the sad thing is that our first 11 is now worse than when he took over.

arsenal and arsene are overrated. How do you win against Man U and then lose to Villa the week after. It just doesn’t make sense
