Protests against Arsene Wenger continue

Saturday night in north London was off to an interesting start even before the game kicked off. Roughly two hundred angry Gunners supporters gathered near their old Highbury Stadium in an attempt to stage a protest march till the Emirates calling for Arsene Wenger to resign. Holding up signs that read ‘Wexit’ and ‘Time for change’, this was not the first time such a protest was organised. The same thing happened when Arsenal hosted Bayern Munich during midweek.

After losing to Chelsea, Liverpool and Munich, there as quite likely a section of fans who were strangely hoping they would lose against Lincoln too, therefore forcing the management’s hand to make a decision about Wenger.

However, the Gunners proved their quality against the non-league side quite vehemently in the end thus indicating things aren’t all that bad yet. With Lincoln out of the way and the semi-finals up next, Wenger and his men are sure to be focused on winning their third FA Cup in four years. Although that may not ease the pressure on the manager.
