Merci Arsène

One thing that annoyed me was the state of the mic. Couldn’t the club have got that one f*cking thing right, cut out like 3 times on him.

Was genuinely fighting back tears today when listening to his speech. I am 27 years old so he has basically been there all my life, like a father figure. Going to be weird when he is not on the bench.

Anyone else excited to see where he goes next? Feels like that is bigger than anything that will happen to Arsenal in next few years!

 

[Hunta]

**** me I’m off again.

It`s a travesty that we desperately need a new goalkeeper and have Szczesny, a top clas goalkeeper who geniunely loves the club, playing for Juve after we sold him for peanuts.

I'm not really one for these mass celebrations and this merci Arsène social media stuff.

It all felt very surreal today and I don't think it'll sink in for a while longer, but i know that as long as I support Arsenal, whenever something major happens, if we win a big match, or lose, whether we win a trophy, or lose a star player, I'll take a few seconds to think of Arsène Wenger, the amazing memories he gave to us, and the great foundation he built for this club, and it'll be in those moments that it will really hit me.

I'd also like to apologise if I ever said anything disrespectful towards Arsène Wenger. You certainly didnt deserve any abuse no matter what we thought about the results.

Also a quick thank you to this forum. I've been here over ten years now. It's been an amazing journey and I'm glad I've been able to share the highs and lows with everyone. Where I live (London, lol) everyone supports man United. So it's a great to share my thoughts and frustrations with other gooners. It's been a big apart of my Arsenal experience, and I hope we get to share so many more good memories in the future .

Very proud today to see the club give the great man such a tremendous send off.

The whole ceremony at the start and at the end had great dignity befitting a legend of football.

On behalf of a lot of us on A-M, apologies accepted. I hope some will have the same humility and decency to follow your noble comments.

Many grown men were weeping today all around me at the Emirates. It was quite moving.

 

[RandomHero84]

I felt gutted today. Despite feeling that sheer familiar frustration at the atletico game.

Really gutted when he spoke of wanting to win with style and giving everything was more important to him.

I feel like my wanting him to leave is a vote against traits I wish I had. Very confusing day.

My priority is Arsenal. I hope he does well wherever he goes if he gets another management job. I would prefer if it was a national team, I would hate it if we have to play a competitive game against a team he manages. But if that happens I will want us to thrash him.

 

[Tosker]

I would love to see him manage England or France

 

[Makingtrax]

Only just seen John Cross' speech at the presser. Wenger is held in huge regard by the media. Not many managers with his wit and intelligence at press conferences. They know.

You're not alone. @Makingtrax feel free to quote this.

I said to a mate the other day, " I want him gone but I also wish I was half the man he is"
