Why could Arsenal fans not protest like Everton's fans?
Yes, Everton didn't have great season in 2014-2015 either, but the Everton fans protesting didn't really start until about 6months ago. Martinez has been sacked. Arsenal fans have been protesting at a low level for season without any result whatsoever. Why could there not have been a more concerted protest? That or stop paying to watch them en masse.
Arsenal have now bought Granit Xhaka, but I don't really know how good he is. I've not seen him linked with any other teams. Good name though! I hope this isn't Arsenal's only transfer this summer, but knowing Wenger, it could well be. Also, someone said recently (I can't remember who) that the £40 million and £1 offer for Louis Suarez was Wenger's idea and he thought he was being really clever. If so, should Arsenal not have sacked him when it didn't work? Can you imagine if we had made a proper, serious offer and got Suarez? He could have made all the difference over the last two seasons.
As for Martinez, I used to think that he was a good manager that lacked resources at Wigan. Now, looking back, that was quite a good Wigan side that got relegated and now I am thinking he may be overrated. How can he have got such a good team as Everton had this season playing so badly?
