I can't speak for all Arsenal fans but on the whole it does seem as if the majority want Wenger gone. Wenger was lucky to get away Scott free last season which IMO was a disgrace in the manner we bottled challenging for the title. This season is different, we just aren't very good and I get the impression that the majority of the fan base have had enough, we/they just want him gone.

The only bit of pride we can take from this season is a win in the Cup Final but I highly doubt we will beat them. Chelsea trump us in every area including tactics, mentality and organisation.

I actually don't think Wenger will get away with it Scott free this season, not from a fans perspective. He has no credit left, the excuses have run out, he has been given everything he claimed he needed to succeed and he has failed. What more can he want? Losing the title in that manner to Leicester told us all we need to know about modern day Wenger, he's a loser.

I’m not even sure he’s sitting comfy cosy with the Board. I get why people would assume it’s business as usual but we’re seeing some strange stuff going on around the club.

- We haven’t had an official statement from our Chief Executive to confirm Wenger’s job is safe. Last statement he made on Wenger was about us not being Arsene FC and as results have grown worse he made the ‘catalyst for change’ statement.
- Sir Chips also added his piece about a ‘mutual decision’ being made which undermines this idea that Wenger only has to sign a deal and the ball is in his court.
- Sir Chips got up and left the Crystal Palace game early after conceding a second goal. We took a 3-0 beating.
- Wenger deciding to switch to 3 at the back following the thumping to Palace. Was he spoken to by the Board or players? He usually goes with a more conservative team selection to sure up the defence and not a radical formation change.
- The clubs leaking stories of needing a Director of Football and we then we see Wenger’s hostile reaction to such an idea. He could have handled that with more grace.
- Stories are circulating of Josh Kroenke wanting Henry in our coaching setup. First time we hear about a Kroenke having an opinion on Arsenal from a technical standpoint, I think. How does he feel about Henry being blocked by Wenger to join the coaching staff? Is he part of the reported band that’s unhappy with Wenger?

This is strange territory for us. Have we even had an official statement from anyone higher up saying they want Wenger to stay?

He really should have went last season and maybe seeing Leicester win the title whilst we fell away was an eye opener for some.
