Vote: Is it time for Arsenal to part with Arsene Wenger?
Has the professor finally lost the plot?
For years he has had one of the safest jobs in the Premier League, yet this season Arsene Wenger has seen a great deal of the Arsenal faithful calling his mystical abilities into question (indeed, a phone-in discussion between fans on talkSPORT last night was so heated the police and several ambulances would have been called if they were sharing the same room).
It seems that Bacary Sagna was right to frame this season with low expectations: three league losses, a sagging midfield and rumoured disarray behind the scenes have lead 40 per cent of Spoiler readers to believe the big-brained professor will suffer his first non-big four finish in English football in 2008/09.
So, will Arsene and his motivational handouts get through this difficult period unscathed, or is it finally time for change at The Emirates? Let us know with a vote and comment below…

I am as disappointed as the next Arsenal fan at how things have gone recently but a bit of context is called for here. I think the players and fans should rally behind Arsene because of what he has done for the club. He deserves our support. I think he has to change a little too and that the players have let him down somewhat. Perhaps his loyalty to them has been too absolute. I say we should see how he manages the next few months and get firmly behind him because we know that Arsenal is a club like no other.

I agree with Jack, perspective really is needed, we are feeling the effects of the departure of Flamini, Eduardo and the fact that RVP has not really been playing well compared to when he got injured. Look at Man Utd’s start last year. Personally I would rather see us going through a tough patch now and coming through it rather than what happened last season when everything was lost in March. Getting rid of Wenger is stupid and short sighted. If everyone got behind the club instead of believing the constant negativity that seems to surround Arsenal in the press I can’t help but think it would rub off on the players.

All this talk of Arsene out is pathetic. Some of my fellow gooners are acting and speaking like idiotic fickle spurs fans.
We’re going through a bad patch, that’s all. My God lets not descend to the depths of the spuds.
Arsene Knows!

his time might be up. Losing to Fulham, Stoke and Hull City……..and it’s only November. I like beautiful football, but I need results. There is no point in playing beautiful football if you don’t produce results. It is only the 3 points that matters at the end of the day. Arsenal needs some serious help. They need a shooter. Rosicky comes to mind, but he has been out for too long. They pass the ball way too much. And while this is pleasing to the eye, it doesn’t always get the job done. Just my 2 cents
