    The only thing your manager got right tonight was sending your 'players' out in yellow. !!!... as an outsider, for true Arsenal fans - not plastics - for every year you let him remain it'll set you back 2 to get back to where you want to be.

    Unforgivable the way we have lost some of our games this season. Complete lack of fight, embarrassing.

    Not on here to WUM but it's not just bad for your club, it's bad for the league. The Prem needs a healthy strong Arsenal, and whilst I don't agree with player power AW must realise it's in the clubs best interest if he steps aside and allows the club to prepare for his replacement.

    One of Arsene Wengers 'greatest' qualities is the ability to ignore all outside influence when making decisions. He won't be thinking its in the clubs best interest if he steps down. Hell be thinking theres ups and downs and be 'focused on winning the next game'.

    what will he say?

    we know what hell say

    "Ive made the top 4 20 years in a row, one season doesnt change that".

    This is what happens when you let a manager decide his own future. Big mistake that.

    Not the first time he's gone missing by a long way!

    When the going gets tough, Ozil gets going - in another direction!

    That's the biggest problem that the management and pro Wenger supporters don't see. The decline is obvious and any money that Wenger spends now is like throwing it down a well. Every year he stays, the harder the job becomes for the new manager to sort the problems that Wenger has created.

    The way we capitulated again and again this season is very worrying. Usually we pull it out the bag for top 4, but even that is beyond these guys.

    That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from an Arsenal team tonight. We were utterly **** all over the park, lacking cohesion, lacking ideas and lacking bottle. Players were ducking out of challenges and headers, leaving huge gaps for the opposition and miss-passing balls left right and centre. Nobody seemed to be able to take control of any situation, we were second best to almost every ball and we looked like 11 disjointed players who didn't have a clue that they were supposed to be playing as a team. No idea, and no plan. We simply fell apart and it was embarrassing.

    I genuinely don't know where we go from here. If Wenger stays, the atmosphere is just going to become more toxic, especially when we lose more games. Can he turn it around ? Possibly, but all the evidence says otherwise. If he goes in the summer, who replaces him ? It's clear the board haven't planned for any contingency, so we'll probably end up with Steve Bould as temporary manager. What happens to Ozil and Sanchez ? They will probably leave and who are we going to sign to rebuild our team with no champions league and no world class manager to attract them ?

    In my opinion, and I know it won't be popular, but Wenger should stay for 1 more year whilst the club plan properly for his replacement. Make sure we get Sanchez to sign, pay him what he wants. As for Ozil, great player on his day, but just does not have the fight to be in this team. And then in the summer, we need to be looking at signing a proper defensive midfielder, an attacking creative midfielder to replace the ailing Cazorla, a world class striker and possibly another winger. There are at least half a dozen players in our first team squad that need shipping out.

    No doubt a great player but doesn't belong in THIS Arsenal team. He needs a team that works hard around him and everything is going great. Arsenal needs fighters but they've only got one in Sanchez.

    You need a keeper, at least 2 defenders, 2 midfielders and at least 1 striker...not as back ups but all to come into the first team...that is a lot of players to need in one transfer window.

    If they can't bear to part with him, boot him upstairs and bring a coach with some fresh ideas and ability to motivate.

    Is there even going to be a 'good time' to announce it now ?

    No, actually you don't.
    Being 3-0 up when you need to win and not winning come FT is Spursy.

    Your performances in 2017 have been more Spurs 1992 - 2005.
    No stomach for it when things go remotely against you, regardless of any
    real talent you have on the pitch.

    Wenger has too much influence and control at Arsenal. That was great when he was winning, but now he is past it and his power has become a problem.

    Funny thing is that we've been so bad that a "good time" hasn't come. You can see it everything Wenger has that smirk on his face when they ask him the big question. This Palace loss has probably got the hierarchy reeling a bit.

    The thing that angers me so much is Wengers constant statement that 'his future does not affect anything' IT OBVIOUSLY DOES. ITS AFFECTING PLAYERS MENTAL STABILITY, never mind the results on the pitch...

    Very, very angry after this result.

    Actually I was overreacting. Going 54 years without a league title would be the only way to understand what it's like to be 'Spursy'

    When you've got Ian Wright tweeting that 'the dressing room is lost'. It's time to do something!
