Arsenal supporters are a frustrated lot following the club’s recent string of poor results that saw them drop from being title contenders to top four finishers. Earlier this year, their club was on top of the Premier League table with renewed hopes of clinching the league title that has eluded them for more than a decade.
Then came the shocking defeat to a youthful Man United team, a result that had a great impact on the Gunner’s title chase. In less than three months into the New Year, the Gunners had already been bundled out of the Champions League and the FA Cup, but were still in contention for the domestic title.
Then there was the one-all draw against Crystal Palace, a result that ended Arsene Wenger’s title hopes, and cast a dark shadow over the club’s top four ambitions this season. As a result of the countless frustrations that have seen the Gunners win only two major titles in over ten years, some of their supporters believe enough is enough and now is the time for the French tactician to take a walk.
Lately, there have been several campaigns on social media urging fans who will attend the match to walk out after 75 minutes to show their disapproval of the former Monaco boss.

The Frenchman’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2017 and Wenger does not seem to be planning to step down after a 19-year reign at the North London club. Here are some reactions from disgruntled Arsenal fans on social media:

We're a joke.

You can't defend him anymore. No more excuses, this has dragged on long enough. We need a fresh approach and a new direction. Wenger Out
