    Ian Tanner seems to have got a lot of people in a bit of a spin,the truth is really starting to hurt these people.

    Why 24 months, I wonder? Why not 36 or 48? Or how about 1,560 months, which is the amount AFC have been in existence? Though the last 240 months are the ones the likes of Tanner are interested in.

    It's a shame the WOB in general are such base characters and cannot be invited to these podcast discussions as I would like to hear their views.Piers Morgan seems to be their leader and media voice,though he always comes across as a bit of a jcl.

    Tanner absolutely barking.Rememeber that stat that comes out every year that Arsenal are the Jan to Dec champions.Sadly the league runs from Aug to May.I hope the final podcast of the season is full of Wenger Must Go panelists to rip apart this sorry season.

    Blimey, Tanner's copping a hiding for this one. (Can you see what I did there? If so, you're as sad as me for coming up with it in the first place). Can't say he helped his own cause much though....sorry, I mean "muchdoe", in 21st century dialect....

    Spot the spurs fan on this podcast. Either a Spurs fan, blind or deluded, one of the three.

    Hi mbg: Some of the lengths supporters are going to back Wenger nowadays is just unbelievably pathetic. It's quite clear that what we have now is a cult...

    Gaz, nice one, and especially if you thought about it for a while, made a cup of tea looked out the window while drinking it, sat down and thought about it again it would all add up even more. Some are really to far gone now. wenger out.

    I reckon if you took the amount of games played by teams beginning with the letter 'A' over two years, multiplied it by the amount of times we've hit the post and/or crossbar, then multiplied it again by the amount of times Wenger's struggled to zip his jacket up then we'd be worthy winners of the PL this season. Simply sticking to points won/lost and goals scored for/against is so unfair on us and another example of the bias against us by the Premier League, the justice league and even the fuc*ing human league...

    Yes we are going forward Jameson.Remember this time last year Leicester were bottom and now we are only 13 points behind them.That IS progress

  11. Jamerson

    Apr 13, 2016, 11:38 #87820

    Some excellent points especially from Ian Tanner.The fact that NO team has accumulated more points than us over the last 2 years should not be overlooked and shows we are going forward under Wenger.

    I can't believe it took 50 minutes for some one to call bull sh!t on what was coming out of Tanner mouth. Have him back, I'm not listening....

    Tanner is Son of Gazidis.He must be.No one can be that blinkered

    Utter lunacy. Tanner has been brainwashed

    Simon Rose give up your crown of rose tinter of the year toIan Tanner.Couldnt belive my ears.If your listen to him you would think Arsenal were 13 points clear.He;s as deluded as Wenger

    Embarrassing thats the only word to describe this podcast.I had to check the date it was recorded wasnt on April 1st. I couldnt believe Kev and Mike didnt stop the recording after 5 mins let alone broadcast it.Ian Tanner the most stupid AKB ever.How was he allowed to get away with up his crackpot views.How can being 13 points behind Leicester be called an enjoyable season.Bring back Marc Ollington

    Henry Winter has really critised Wenger at the AST meeting tonight.AFC Andrew has been live tweeting.Winter used to be a firm supporter of Wenger.On the terrace forum wenger thread are talking about it.One thing that may be worrying Arsenal and other clubs is about any revelations that might come out from the Panama scandal. They have only just gone on about politicians and FIFA so far but i bet there are a few footballers in the prem who are getting nervous.

    Ian Tanner you are an utter embarrassement

    More to be pitied than laughed at lads. Go now wenger your an embarrassment and take the rest of your embarrassments with you.

    Good Lord. How can anyone summon up enough energy to waffle on about Arsenal while Wenger saps the energy out of the club. Hats off to you. Can't be arsed to listen to discussions on subject matters as trivial as academy prospects and who will leave this summer, when we still have the clown pulling the strings. Totally irrelevant until he's gone. Are you telling me when this AKB started going on about winning the 24 month trophy you all sat there and continued the recording? Did he elaborate on whether it was the calendar years or tax years period? Hats off to you again listening to that drivel. There must be something in the air at AKB Towers. They're all just trying to outdo each other with who can talk the biggest pile of crap whilst keeping a straight face. Wouldn't want to judge it. Or do we do the judging in May?

    Well it has to be said. The argument on us having more points than anyone else over x amount of years is the single most desperate and pathetic argument that the manager has done well I have ever heard. Laughable, truly.

  23. Rob

    Interesting Podcast. The Gooner can't be accused of not taking all persuasions on board. As noted above, the 24 month trophy, took some straight faced believing.

    I guess that these broadcasts need to reflect some sort of half-arsed BBC-esque balance, but Ian's input was disappointing (as others have also pointed out). Future debates might put the issue firmly in the majority AMG camp with topics such as who might replace the anorakked wonder. But in the grand scheme of things, that's not a problem because Ian's comments reflect the fact that the AKB faction have run out of counter arguments and the cupboard is now bare. This season has been a huge disappointment - arguably, the absurd parsimony of the pre-season was an even bigger one. I want this season to end quickly safe in the knowledge that the spuds will not top the table. That's about it as far as our ambitions will let us go this season and in future I while the toupe'ed terror and his tight-fisted pet chihuahua continue to dismantle our club for their own personal gain. Enemies within.

    I'll have some of what Ian Tanner has been smoking please! You'd have to have been on something to 'enjoy' anything from this latest predictable groundhog season unless you are of a masochistic bent. How can anybody have enjoyed being lied to and taken for a mug for 10 years since we were told how the only way we could keep up with the top sides and compete with them for the best players was to uproot from our beloved Highbury? I'm sick of Wenger, Gazidis and their outright lies that have ruined OUR great football club. Praying Leicester win the title and then see what our great fraud of a manager has got to say then. Wenger out, Gazidis out, Kroenke out

    Has it been an enjoyable season? Are you kidding?Hammering rusty nails through your cock is more enjoyable to watching this shower of sh*t.And still you get nutters like Ian Tanner defending our clown of a manager.We are 13 points behind Leicester FFS.Wenger Out

    Congratulations Ian Tanner, AKB man of the century. Espoused every AKB cliche and invented the 24 month trophy. What a hoot!!

    Has it been an enjoyable season so far ? what kind of a question is that ? lads lads, has there been an enjoyable season in the last eleven ? There's only one depart needed this summer and we all know who that is.

    Excellent podcast. Arsenal will not win the league in 2017 as,the same defensive mistakes will be made. Wenger, Kronke and Gazidis out.

    Ian Tanner is one deluded soul on this podcast. I am surprised that people kept their cool during his excuses for Wenger.
