Wenger booed by fans.

The level of opprobrium directed by
Arsenal fans at the manager, Arsène
Wenger, appears to be escalating
rapidly. A video has emerged on
YouTube of Wenger being loudly
jeered by fans as he boarded a train at
Stoke-on-Trent following his side’s
3-2 defeat by Stoke City on Saturday.
The fans can be heard voicing their
growing disenchantment with the
direction in which the 65-year-old is
taking the club. “Joely, do the best
thing mate,” one fan called to the
striker Joel Campbell. “Get out while
you can, Joel.” Wenger, who criticised
his side’s defence in his post-match
comments, then walks past, tight-
lipped, to a chorus of boos.
Arsenal had been on a run of three
wins in a row before the defeat at
Stoke but the result has reignited calls
from some supporters for Wenger to
resign or be sacked. Prior to beating
Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the
Champions League on 26 November,
they were without a win in three and
this had led many fans to express
their frustration with Wenger’s
management.
