ARSENE Wenger has been warned that he has until 2029 to win the Premier League or face the consequences.

The unprecendented warning from the club’s board comes after a mere 12 years of failure to win the league even when nobody else is trying to.

CEO Ivan Gazidis said: “The club cannot go on like this. We need change and we need it within the next decade and a bit.

“Otherwise, difficult as it would be to dismiss a 79-year-old with his best years in management still ahead of him, Mr Wenger could find himself looking for a new job.”

But fan Norman Steele said: “This short-termist hire-and-fire mentality is everything that is wrong with modern football.

“Wenger needs time to build a team, then build another team, then build a team again.

“Plus by 2021 Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby’s sons will be available and when they play they’ll feel like new signings.”

I hope to fuck that old vinegar tits keeps his job for a long time to come! Once they get someone else its going to be a different thing over there. And with Allegri,Simeone and Zidane all soon on the job market it could get interesting. Lets hope he keeps his job for another decade or 2.

Atmosphere dead at the emirates again and the crowd not even excited when Arsenal attack.

Handball on the Sanchez goal. Of course

Forgot it was on.1-0 then so far. They must be feeling good beating Hull so far!

God I hope Hull have a turnaround and beat them.

Never thought I'd hear myself say I hope Loilpool win today! Gonna be a good scrap for the places innit!

"But he didn't mean it!"

you weren't saying that last week when Alonso hit Bellerin.

I never got why they allow banned managers communicate from the stands. If you want to punish them, make them go those matches without the manager constantly communicating with the assistant.

If it was one of our lads that 'scored' it Id be pissed off too.. A clearer case for a video ref Ive never seen. Even if it wasn't intentional if it wasn't for the hand it wouldn't have gone in. Its not like it was going in and got deflected. It turned 180 degrees!

Arsenal with another couple of lucky decisions yet again. Sanchez scores with his hand and Gibbs should have seen red for taking out markovic while he was through on goal. Incredible luck this season really

Was a great cross from Sanchez for the penalty tho

The refereeing in England has become a joke. Here in Holland they all spread shit over the Dutch FA but today the English FA showed yet again why they're the worst. Alexis handball goal, Gibbs should've been sent off and yet another penalty for them.

You'll never catch me being pissed one of ours scores  but I get what you mean. At this point, there's no good argument against it. They just have to be smart about it and not spend minutes reviewing like they do in American sports.

It used  to send me scatty when Drogs would throw himself on the floor looking for penalties or a free kick. And when Luiz did it giggling like a schoolgirl I coulda warmly shook him by the throat. Just a pet hate and dont like seeing anyone do it. I know its a supposedly accepted part of the game but it shouldn't be.
