If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
He's staying till next year.
That much is guaranteed.
Let's see what happens in the Summer. I'm not optimistic, but the fact that it's his last year is a silver lining.
If he gets a new contract, then shit hits the fan again.
Still, COYG I guess. What else.
Thing is you don't know, whilst there is no doubt that Wenger is used as a convenient lightning rod by the board it's very unlikely any new manager will be given the same autonomy he has. We all know full well that Gazidis couldn't sack Wenger even if he wanted to but he will be the one responsible for his replacement.
That means we have someone who is beholden to someone, three year contract if no significant improvement in that time good bye and good luck and onto the next guy.
Bloodied and bruised Arsenal fan says violence between pro and anti Arsene Wenger groups has forced him to quit the club with fears for his little boy
“I got the banner out at the end of the game and a girl started trying to pull it down. I was trying to fend her off and get the banner back up but the police and stewards came piling in to me and apparently they got a bit heavy handed.
“The woman who was dragging it down was saying she didn’t want to be associated with it.
“It all happened at the end of the game. We always wait until the end of the game because we want to support the team.
“We try to show our point of view at the end. That’s how we do it, that’s being respectful to the club and the team.
“In Spain they wave the white hankies and in South America I think you get all sorts thrown onto the pitch. All we are trying to do is get our point across – that we are not happy – to Wenger and the club and we need a change.
“I have been going since 1976 and I am just going to turn my back on them now. We are fighting a losing battle.
“The whole divide between the fan base is ridiculous. You would not believe how hostile Wenger fans are.
“I put on my flag ‘judgement in May’ because that is what he always says when he is criticised during the season.

"the woman who was dragging it down" tells a different story on Twitter
She claims that she remarked to a friend that she didn't want to be associated with it, but that he became aggressive with her and become physically and verbally abusive, leading to him kicking out and then being restrained by the Police.
I don't know who to believe, so the best conclusion to come to is to believe neither of them and that what actually happened was somewhere in between exaggerations on both sides.

Sounds like it all kicked off because of the banner but he should have a right to raise the banner if he wants.
Maybe we should have a seating apartheid between banner carriers and non barrier carriers, no one gets upset then and I get to use apartheid in a sentence.
Why would she have been associated with it? Surely only the people holding it are.
Have to say you have to be a pretty intolerant not to be able to cope with a banner, we've seen a few of these people who can't cope with Wenger criticism on AFTV (sometimes in the background) and they don't seem the brightest.
It's perception, when you get cameras trained on these banners and if they catch someone standing next to it they are going to assume that it's as much to do with them.
I want Wenger to go and i can understand that, i wouldn't want to be associated with the banners because a lot of the people carrying them are dimwits....not because they carry banners it's because they are dimwits.
And again she claims she has no problem with the banner, and is in neither "Camp" so to speak.....like i say not saying I believe her, but I am not necessarily going to believe the other person is the victim just because he echoes a sentiment I agree with.
