I’ll say this: When CSKA made it 1-1 with their free kick I was cursing Xhaka due to his outrageously bad attempt of a clearance where he skied it upwards and caused all sorts of confusion which lead to the free kick. The guy is simply a liability.
But matters it does not as surely we did enough to see us through.

Surely if Wenger was leaving in the summer he would have announced it by now (or would announce it soon) so we can give him a warm send off at the last home game?

We are two wins and a draw away from lifting the trophy.
To be the best you have to beat the best. Simples.

The closest AW has been to losing his job:
1. 2014 - Seven minutes left vs. Wigan in the FA Cup Semi-Final (losing 1-0)
2. 2014 - Losing 2-0 vs. Hull in the FA Cup Final (Gibbs’ header off the line at 2-0 down)
3. 2017 - Clinching the FA Cup after a mediocre season
4. 2018 - Losing 2-0 vs. CSKA Moscow where all they needed was one more goal to humiliate us.
There are plenty more of these in 2018 I reckon, but my god he came so close in 2014 to losing his job!

If he doesn't win the Europa he should leave
He won't leave though. He's too stubborn. And it seems he's immune from the sack. Some Arsenal fans are voting with their feet by not going to home games, they need to realise that change needs to happen.

I actually don’t think fans are protesting - I think the empty seats have more to do with the fact that league games are meaningless as we will be finishing 6th so what’s the point? That being said, what the hell am I doing awake at 5am for the Newcastle match?

Does AW already know that he’s leaving at the end of the season?
Look at AW’s body language today and he seemed really relaxed. Apathetic because he knows he’s leaving at the end of the season? Hmmm.....

I’m currently downloading Football Manager Touch 2018 for my iPad. I haven’t played FM since 2010 because it became too intricate for my impatient self. But I’m looking forward to dropping both Xhaka and Mustafi - it apparently takes a strong man to do so!

I just patched the iPad Touch version with logo packs, etc. Luvly Jubbly. I really don't understand why Sports Interactive can't get the licenses for FM, it's an annoyance for the customers to patch it.

I’ve been saying it all season that I didn’t see him being our manager come next season. Odd timing though on the eve of a massive Semu Final? I am 100% convinced that Brendan Rodgers will be our next manager. Thanks for the memories, Arsene.

Arsene Wenger was appointed Arsenal manager in September 1996. I was only 8 years old at the time, and my own obsession with the club was only just beginning - like millions of other fans, I only know Arsenal with Wenger at the helm. Arsene Wenger is synonymous with Arsenal Football Club.
Wenger transformed the club and English football upon his arrival by eliminating the drinking culture, changing players’ diets, and altering training regimens. By doing so he was able to develop unknown players and transform them into being world class (Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas...).
Wenger won the league in his first full season by securing the Premier League and FA Cup double in 1997/98, and achieved a second double in 2001/02 before winning the league undefeated with The Invincibles in 2003/04. He has also won more FA Cups than any other manager, with 7 total. He also guided the club to their only ever Champions League Final which unfortunately ended as a loss.
But it wasn’t just winning silverware that was admired, but also how it was achieved: with power, pace, and flair, Wenger’s teams played with comprehensive style and attractive offensive football.
Wenger also oversaw the move from Highbury to the Emirates stadium and kept the club competitive during the austerity surrounding the move, which was even more impressive as Roman Abramovich pumped billions into Chelsea. During this period, Arsenal were trophyless for nine years until a run of 3 FA Cups in 4 years beginning in 2014 brought some success back to Arsenal. Up until last season (when we finished 5th) we also always finished within the top 4, securing two consecutive decades of Champions League football, a consistency not matched by any other team in the league.
With his appointment in 1996 it was common to ask, “Arsene Who?”, but 22 years later the question had been emphatically answered. Thanks for the memories, Arsene. It is hard to say goodbye.

For me he was the best manager in the world once upon a time. Hope he can win the Europa before he leaves.

I’m not going to lie, this is hitting me hard. I grew up with Arsene Wenger, from age 8 to age 30. Fuck, man.
