I'm not going to reveal who it is, but I've known of one director who has wanted Wenger our for quite some while - a matter of years. As you suggest, the strong rumours are that Gazidis has now come to that conclusion also. Kevin Whitcher, editor of The Gooner, has named another. So if Kevin's right about his one, that's three of them.

Who did Kevin mention ? Was it Sir Chips?

No secret he mentioned it in the editorial after the city game

Ian Wright wants both Wenger and Kroenke out. So do I.

I assume Tottenham fans will conduct tbeir own version of St. Totteringham Day. Has it arrived? Are we statistically unable to catch them?

Its a surprise they arent top of the table if you look only at goals for and against. Only Liverpool with an extra match played has scored more. Their goals against is a stingy 22.

Its sobering looking at them. They will do well to hang on to their manager.

I'm not sure what I want to happen tonight. I still want us to finish top four but with our run-in that looks such a remote possibility now that I'm wondering if I'd be better off hoping we lose since the very great efforts of Pete and other protestors appear to have fallen on deaf ears and things need to get much much worse before the teflon manager is overthrown.

Wow. Our run-in is an absolute nightmare. 5 away, only 3 at home.

Midd (A), Leic (A), Tott (A), Man U (H), Stoke (A), Everton (H), Southampton (A), Sund (H)

On current form we could lose three or four of those games. Infact, the only one I'd be confident of winning is Sunderland at home.

There's a real possibility that day may be when we play them if they win , someone else can do the maths on that one it's too painful for me

Is this your version of a 'pep talk' ?

Leicester is at home. I can see about 10 points maximum from that lot

Erm.....

Tottenham have been really good in the transfer market for the last few years. They seem to get an awful lot of money for the players they sell. Their squad is still quite thin though.

Arsenal have out-spent Chelsea in the last 5 years.

Anytime anything positive is written about Spurs the very next sentence contains Arsenal. Saw Spurs were even selling scarves with 'we want you to stay' written on them today. The longer Spurs and everyone else keeps the Spurs 'ambition' and measuring success as bettering Arsenal they won't reach the top.

I'm sure the players and managers have higher ambitions but the fans and the press can't help but compare everything to Arsenal. Far more so than when City started bettering Man U.

Sadly our stadium move has ended up being timed for the worst possible moment, city and Chelsea came in with mega money, and now the money from TV deals far outweighs any difference in gate receipts and also provides a much easier transition for teams building a new stadium. Spurs probably won't find it half as hard as we did because the TV money has expanded at a much steeper rate than the cost of building a stadium

It would be a miracle if we secure CL football next season. I hope we don't get Europa League. Curious to see how the team perform with only domestic competitions.

Last night was shocking. Arsenal were in total control up to when we scored. For some reason in many matches going 1-0 up seems to see a button pushed where the team stop playing and become a mess. Passing start going to pot, no effort put in as if we have done the job already. Look at some of the games this season where if you're honest with yourself we got lucky. Yes all teams need a bit of luck, I get that. However, if you lose last night having played well, you can brush it off as you know what we are still capable of. Yet, look at us, we have quite a few more of last nights performances in us for the remainder of the season. We're not going to get lucky like against Southampton and Burnley with last minute goals.

No! Other clubs will go back to using the Everton blueprint in how to get a result against Arsenal. Bullied that what happened to Arsenal. We let Everton back into the game. The took advantage of it. As they grew so did the home support and Everton grew more. Arsenal bottled it. Then after Everton go 2-1 up it's suddenly Oh well! Might as well give it a go now, nothing to lose.

Arsene is totally out manoeuvred in some games. The guy just sits there watching his team fall to pieces and what happens, substitutes when needed. Oh no! Wait till the 70th minute. What was Theo doing? What was Özil doing?

Arsenal need to wise up and fast otherwise it's going be another wasted season. Yet some people will still lick his backside and call Arsene the best there is. PMSL.

dont depress me

If Reyes was at Arsenal today he would be our star player with everything going through him.

Depressing really, I guess we are in rapid decline

Indeed.

Wenger has changed - spent more, relaxed his rule regarding contract for players above 30, taking back players who left the club... unfortunately it's been change for the worst.

It would be a miracle if we secure CL football next season. I hope we don't get Europa League. Curious to see how the team perform with only domestic competitions.

He's managed somehow to change us into a mid table team. It'll take a much better manager than him to change that situation imo.

Three at the back? Holding plays. He's trying.

Trying our patience....................

Looks more like a back 4 with Gabriel at right back.

I find myself, to echo some others, caring less than I ever have or thought I would about what happens tonight.

I think your right Bromley, more likely to be a 4 than 5. Chamberlain at right wing back? Just can't see it.

Nope, looks like it is a 3 after all.
As soon as they announced that Boro are the lowest scorers in all 4 divisions I got a bad feeling. Can our feeble defence keep them out?

yes

These guys are hopeless. No way will we lose this.
