You know its bad when posters like Ollie and Maccy call for Wengers head tbh.
But i agree he has to go wheather its not or the end of the season. He should walk with some dignity left in him.

His legacy will be forever known for this imo. Hes totally ruined it and through no one elses fault but his own.
The Invincibles, the 2 double winning teams will be remembered if you think hard enough but the first thought people will have when thinking of Wenger 50 years from now will be this
This season has been an accident waiting to happen,a blind man could see the direction things were going in,as long as Wenger remains in charge nothing will change,he is a one trick pony and has been found out,football has moved on and the mans failings have been there for all to see,this is not knee jerk but its time for supporters to make themselves heard.
The thing that shocked me today was the fact that he hardly moved. Pat Rice came out into the technical area a few times but Wenger sat still, seemingly unpeturbed at the alarming collapse that was unfurling before his eyes. Can you see Fergie, Moyes, Dalglish and to a lesser extent Villas-Boas doing likewise? Not a chance.
The problem it appears to me is that he's lost his mojo. He's become so bitter and stubborn in his own ways that he can't see any way out of it, rather than to just continue in the vain hope the results will sort themselves out. That's not good enough. Hope. We need action and quickly, otherwise, we're not going to be worried about being x points behind Manchester, we're gonna worry about how many points we're off the bottom half of the league. That's not tongue in cheek, not pessimism. It's realistic. The squad is starting to improve, Song and Ramsey and Gervinho were the bright points today, but the leadership and direction afforded to them by the manager is disgraceful. No other club would stand for this - we shouldn't either.
So, who to bring in? True.... a manager of extreme quality would a) be difficult to attract and b) be unavailable. There's not many around. I'd back a tactician such as O'Neill. He'd do an excellent job. Somebody like a Klinsmann who manages with a lot of verve and desire could work. (Not necessarily Jurgen, simply an example of the type of coach we need)
Whatever the case, we need a change. A Blackburn supporting mate of mine asked me to describe Arsenal's predicament in one sentence. I gave him one word. 'Stale' They look bored and play with little urgency. And it needs sorting before it's too late.
For years many fans have seen the direction the club was heading in, but they've been told to keep it shut by the likes of PHW and Wenger.
No hiding place now.
He'll forever be seen as a bit of a flawed genius in my view. He did exactly the same trick at Monaco: scaled the heights, then nearly took the club down. It's an unforgiveable failure of governance that the board is allowing him to do the same at our club.
Basically, Wenger's not the messiah, he's just a very stubborn boy.
I couldn't care less about the reason for him losing his mojo. I want him either gone or to rediscover it pronto before the embarrassment that is our club becomes even worse.
