Shocked! Will Arsene resign tonight?

I've not really followed football for the last 6y, but still consider myself an arsenal fan. I don't think he will be sacked, or resign... Yet. Its sad to see such a formerly great team and manager reduced to this.

Arsene didn't buy bergkamp, it was the manager between him and graham (boo) iirc. Can't remember his name off the top of my head but likened himself to a nursemaid.

God, just thinking, adams, bergkamp, veira, henry, martyn, that was a team!

I was there to witness it. We are however Man Utd supporters so I am not very sad about the result. Sorry about that.

However I would like to say that the score line, although fabulous if you support Man U does not reflect how hard Arsenal really did try, and there were some fantastic moves from them. To be honest Szczesny made some superb saves and without his skill and quick reactions it could have been well into double figures. Just watching MOTD I notice they have gone for a Man U total rout angle which is not entirely the case.

Arsenal were clearly a team weakened by suspensions, injuries and departures and they would probably have come a cropper today against any other team in the Premiership. I was beginning to feel very sorry for them by the end because they did try harder and probably are a better team than they looked. They have some huge talent, and young talent in that team but as soon as they went 4-1 down they seemed to crumble.

I don't think Arsene should be sacked or resign, he is doing the very best he can with the raw materials he has available. He needs to be allowed to spend money, he should have been allowed to do so much more over the summer and he needs to feel valued. He's a good manager, they would not have been consistently in the top 4 teams for the last decade if he wasn't.

We need some players! We have nearly finished paying for the stadium now,and it's all good Arsenal being the rarity of being a Premiership club still in the black,but we need some bloody players!

It's all politics. It's not Arsene Wenger's fault, it's Peter Hill-Wood, the chairman. He sacked David Dein, who madethe deals. Nasri's agent is Dein's son. Hill-Wood is a backward looking old Etonian. He opposed the new stadium. He opposed the notion of finding a very rich person to bankroll the club. He is the 3rd generation of his family to sit on the board. We need to appoint someone on merit, not on surname.

I have to say I am absolutely delighted at the result.

My disclaimer is that I have absolutely no interest in football at all, but I know my amazing late husband will have been cheering Man U on from the bench. So I am really really happy. Especially after Man U stuffed Spurs 3-0 the other day.

8-2, 8-2, 8-2 Way to go Manchester United

Have to say, I couldn't give a stuff about Kenneth Williams Arsene. Sorry!

You are not alone - DH is walking around like a very sad small boy!

Reckons they won't sack him after the result in the week but reckons if somethig doesn't happen soon he is going to tear up his season ticket and get one for Colchester Utd instead!

I'd laugh but we got clobbered just as much. North London took a beating today.
