Wenger Must Be Annoyed...
Most of us want Adebayor to leave and we hate Eboue and Silvestre. So do the supporters and shareholders present at the Arsenal Supporters Trust meeting. So they let their harsh opinions known to Wenger.
Silvestre was the first to be ridiculed being called geriatric. The guy sure is right. Silvestre is nothing but a liability to the team. But his choice of words is awful. He could have expressed his opinion in a more decent manner. Imagine if Silvestre finds this out, how would he feel? Absolutely devastated.
So Wenger did not like the comment one bit and blasted the “supporter”:
“I cannot accept what you say about our players. Are you a shareholder? I cannot accept that you speak about the players of your club like that. I don’t agree with the terms you use.”
Later on Eboue’s record of diving was greeted with a round of applause from the gathering and when the prospect of Emmanuel Adebayor leaving Arsenal in the summer came into discussion, loud cheers were heard.
One thing is for sure now. If Wenger didn’t know already, he now knows there are some hated players wanted out by the fans. The chances are quite bleak that he might give the comments any importance, but you never know what Arsene is going to do so lets hope for the best!

Poor old Arsene…I hope he pulls it off next season.
Poor guy.
LOL.
In England we like to build people up to tear them down.
Obviously if you’re a frog, then you get a double dose. poor guy.
Arsene Wenger deserves so much better than this for what he has given to Arsenal and to Englih football.
Poor guy.its shameful what some people write and say about him.
Reading all these vitriolic threads on other sites, I am sad to say, but I am ashamed to be English.

You say: most of us want Ade to leave and hate Eboue and Silvestre. When did you take a poll or become Almighty God that you can know eveyonees opinions. I trust most supporters of any decent club would not “hate” any of their players even the not so good ones. The problem is a guy pays £50 for a seat or sets up a blog and feels they have a right to be disrespectful to “OUR” players and feel that they can represent the opinion of the masses.
The problem is it is always people like those hecklers that shout the the loudest. They always want to be heard whereas they do not represent the majority, who are often silent.
I hope Ade does not choose to leave because of the loud mouths who have nothing good to say except about their “golden boys”. There is a lot more to come from him.
I hope Arsene does not choose to feed him to the wolves in order to appease these fans and cover over his own sins. No1 being lack of foresight No2 Being so flipping stubborn No3 Using his exalted dposition to jeapordise the clubs immediate and ultimately long term success with his (risky, imo) youth project.
When was the last time Eboue did a dive or an “antic” anyway.
Do you know how Ade interacts with his team mates, are you in the dressing room so that you can ascertain that he is indeed a negative influence.
I tell you what a negative influence is, it’s fans who constantly bad mouth our players and our manager, who make them feel unwanted and unappreciated, a real negative influence on team morale.
As Ade said he is a human being like us, no doubt the negativity had affected his performances. It would also be cetain that all the negativity from generally biased, ungrateful and fairly ignorant supporters on blogs get back to our players and may have a negative effect on young minds who are not yet so sure of themselves.

Arsene Wenger, apart from being a football manager, demonstrates to be a very positive man. No matter how worse his players have played, he can always find some positives, giving fans hope of success.
Yes, as johnny red said we are not in the dressing room so we do not know what were going on behind the curtain.
However, fans can only talk about things which they have seen on the pitch, likes the following:
1. there being little smiling face on Wenger nowaday.
2. underpar player not substituted at once.
3. underpar players, e.g. Ade, diaby, denilson and etc. kept on playing until ‘injured!’
4. ‘Little Denilson’ however seldom got injured.
5. recovery time spent by injured players seem to be too long. When a player in other team got a hamstring/gorin injury they need a couple of weeks healing time then for the same injury, arsenal players need a couple of months. To the worst, njured arsenal players getting injured again too often, e.g. diaby, rvp, dudu.
6. fans seeing versatile first team players leave but reinforcement, e.g. ramsey/wilsher, only signed to warm the bench.
7. fans felt extremely sad to see their hope of winning silverware gone within several days.
8. fans can and should generate noise of their dissatisfaction because they paid for the players.
