The Tarquins were protesting last night that Wenger is "killing their club."

I wish we were being "killed" by being in the Champions League and the top 5 every season, and winning the FA Cup twice in the last 3 years. Spolit b*****ds.

It's all relative though isn't it. It may seem ungrateful to us but if you were one of the 10 richest clubs in the world the way Wenger and the board seem happy to settle for that and not try to compete other than get in the top 4 to guarantee the CL money seems bizarre and I'm sure if that was the Villa we'd be exactly the same.

Yep, if I was paying over £1000 for my season ticket then I'd want my team to be doing better than getting thrashed 10-2 and only aiming for 4th in the league. Still fantastic to see them falling apart though.

Agree with that. As much fun as it is to see them falling apart I just wish it was one of ManU, Chelsea, Spurs or Liverpool before it was them.

I hope Wenger signs a new contract just to piss Piers Moron off even further.

If I was paying over £1000 for my season ticket I would stay to watch the FA Cup being presented rather than nipping out of the ground early to get home for Britain's Got Talent.

I was going to add that. I nearly punched the fella on Wembley Way who,  when I asked why he was leaving before the end of the game, told me that when you've seen your team lift the cup so many times you get sick of it. And they were the lucky season ticket holders who had to enter a ballot to get their Cup Final tickets.

I remember a couple of season's ago when we beat them down there on the opening day, they were all going mad. I'm sure there was some video floating round of a chap being interviewed after the game who was nearly in tears.

But conceded rather fewer than 10.

Barca 2-0 up.

Shocking defending (© Hansen A.) by PSG.

Biggest comeback ever if they pull it off?
