“When pigs can fly…”
I stopped sending in articles to The Gooner for publication in late 2008, as I felt I had nothing good to say about Wenger and how he (and not the board) was running the club for his own personal gratification. Well, three years on, and family and friends and other diehard Gooners have woken up from the lethargy that the cult of Wenger instilled in us.
I feel that the words of fellow Gooner John Lydon when he walked off stage in America are very apt: "Ever feel like you've been cheated?", because we have been duped by a master spin doctor who has sold us a pup. It is easier to continue conning somebody than it is to get that person to admit they've been conned. Wenger reminds me of an end-of-the-world merchant who each year takes his group of followers on a pointless journey promising great things to only have to backtrack and say "oops wrong year again".
As a group we have been fantastically loyal to Wenger and have supported even his most cretinous players that have pulled on our beloved shirt, but the Emperor is standing sweaty Bolognese naked for all to see (who wish to) and we have to decide on whether we continue as sheep in his flock. If Wenger stated that the world is flat and science and the logical amongst us were all wrong, would all his blind-faith drones agree with him and start repeating that Arsene knows best? Because I have a horrible feeling they would.
If having Almunia, Eboue, Diaby and Denilson totting up almost 700 appearances between them is not a clear enough pointer to something being wrong then I give up (again). The sad thing is, there is not a nice way out of this mess that our glorious leader has left us in… unless we want to copy Homer Simpson chasing after his airborne BBQ pig shouting "it's still good, it's still good"
