Wenger could leave this summer following fan criticism
Arsenal’s hopes of claiming the Premier League title this season was left in tatters following an extremely disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Watford at the Emirates Stadium in midweek and the Gunners currently find themselves a whopping nine points off of leaders Chelsea in the table.
Following the result, frustrated Arsenal fans have once again voiced their anger at Arsenal’s failure to mount a Premier League challenge and many are now calling for manager Arsene Wenger to step down when his contract ends at the end of the current campaign.
The Arsenal board want to keep hold of Wenger after tabling a new two year extension for the Frenchman to consider but the Daily Mirror have now gone on to reveal that the veteran boss could pass up on the offer as he no longer feels loved by the club faithful.
Trio doubts for Arsenal’s clash against Chelsea
Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in a must win encounter for the Gunners in their title hopes but the North London side are likely to be without the trio of Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the clash.
Giroud was subbed off against Watford at half time and it has been suggested by Football London that the Frenchman was removed from the game due to an ankle problem. Even Aaron Ramsey was forced off against Watford and the Welshman will not be featuring this weekend as a result of his injury.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain replaced Ramsey in midweek but the Englishman suffered a knee problem recently and he could also miss out at Stamford Bridge.

for so long when the average lease of an epl manager is 2 to 5 years at the most.
I' m afraid the longer he stays,he risks bringing Arsenal to greater depths
.Arsenal are the 7th richest club in the world.It can be in the top 3 to 5 with a better manager who doesn't bother with pretty soccer.
I say thanks for the memories.Enough is enough after an eternity.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that the gunners based their style on possession and endless passing.
All the opposition has to do is wait for th e gunners attack to break down or dispossessed and that's the cue for the ***er punch.So much so Drogba and Ronaldo scored tons of goals and why not with the generous acres of space time afforded.
So don't be surprised the gunners cant score against a ten men wall and get beaten. Of course it aint cast in stone the gunners will lose but frankly most gunner fans have given up on the fm to win the epl again.
This is really unacceptable at a big club like Arsenal.
If he were at RM /Barcelona/Bm/Mu/Mc he would have been fired long ,long ago.
I say if he wants to go ,the board shd let him go. I say thanks for the memories.We need someone who would go direct and stop playing the endless passing ,back flick ,etc.
Whatever for? Fans come to see a winning team not an entertaining team that cant or wont want to win unless they walk l the ball into the net.
