One comment during Sunday's game by Gary Neville has stuck with me, he said teams imitate their Manager's personality. I will go one further and say the fans imitate their Manager's personality too.
No other top 7 club would fans accept the performance & conduct of Wenger, and put up with it for so long, whilst being charged an extortionate fee to watch a bunch of losers (most expensive tickets in the World). That's 8 goals conceded in just 3 games, with 2 humiliating defeats, and our best players are now being sold to our rivals, again! It's like the club have learnt nothing since the Fabregas saga.
If Wenger gets to Christmas still as Arsenal Manager, by which time we will be out of the title race (if not sooner) I blame the fans for accepting this mediocrity and who have been happy to be exploited by the gangsters Kroenke, Gazidis & Wenger for a decade.
Bringing banners or hiring planes isn't going to hurt them, these people are nothing but bankers, the only language they understand is currency. We need to hit them were it hurts and boycott paying to watch the mediocrity they have been force feeding us.
The destiny of this club could be back in the hands of our fans, like it was at Highbury, if only AKBs & WOB united as one.
Gooners have become weak like Manager

That's not true. A members' poll by AST late last season showed 78% wanted Wenger to go. I visit many Arsenal fan forums and every single one overwhelmingly wants him to go.
-----------------------
You're just feeding into my point. AST (with its sub-1000 membership) and online forums full of literate, football-savvy people are NOT representative of Arsenal's home crowd, let alone their global following of star-struck Asians and Africans who chase miles after the team bus on pre-season tours.
As long as that majority are happy to keep attending games, politely clapping the team and not kicking up a fuss, then Arsenal management will continue to think of the Wenger Out crowd as a lunatic, ArsenalFanTV-esque fringe, and carry on as normal.

I've been boycotting games for 12 years. Don't think they even noticed.

No one should boycott any of the games as it's the team we support Arsenal football club but we should boycott buying shirts, food, programs and any other merchandise which is part of Arsenal plc and then and only then will the sponsors be making phone calls to Arsenal asking to cancel contracts or compensation due to the lack of revenue coming in.

The whole idea of 'you must attend games no matter what' is exactly why nothing will change (and exactly why ticket prices came to be so expensive in the first place). The sight of thousands of empty seats on TV is far more powerful than people not eating burgers at half-time.

renoog if you want to see loads of red seats just watch Tottenham play at Wembley but joking apart I suppose the only way is a mass walkout on 70 minutes which would probably have more effect on TV when seeing a full stadium one minute and a half empty stadium the next

Arsenal's away Premier League record (vs last season's top 6) - since 2013:
P. 21
W. 2
D. 6
L. 13
GS. 24
GC. 52 (6-3 City/5-1 Pool/6-0 Chelsea/ 4-0 Pool)
--------------------------
No other sets of fans in the top 4 club in Europe (i include lesser leagues like Scotland/Portugal/Holland) would accept that sort of abysmal record against their main rivals, except Arsenal fans.

My idea last year was just get everyone to print an A$ sheet of paper with "Wenger out" in big letters on it, maybe in red to fit the Arsenal colours. Now i would say "Wenger and Kronke out". If everyone who goes to the game printed one off and all held it up say before kick off it would make a spectacular sight that would reverberate through the club.
People have said season ticket holders should cancel their season tickets, but that is ridiculous. I was talking to a fried the other day who is on the waiting list and is now 4 years away from getting one at that level, the total waiting list is estimated as being 12 years. So maybe a more reasonable protest would be to say one of the more insignificant games that they try to arrange for seaosn ticket holder to miss that one match. With that level or absence and empty seasts it would again send a strong picture.

Do you realise that the board have always always had nothing but contempt for the working class fans? For well over 100 years the bank of England club with their unusual symbology have always hated the working clsss fans, Arsenal are an expirement, always have been, I just wish people on here understood this more and took time to look into it, they would find surprising things. The club needs to be owned by the fans somehow, cause the board are taking the P for a laugh, they don't care about the fans, the board hates them. They're extremely privileged people at the top and they don't care about you. I love Arsenal too much to not say anything on this article, I wish the club could just give Kronk £100m for 20 years and own itself, it would be the best thing the club has ever done, better than the 1930s, better than Anfield 89, better than the invincibility.

I don't think this $hit has ever feed down to the manager and players quite like this before, they don't need hope like the fans do
