Jermaine Cole released #KOD and Arsene Wenger broke news that he will step down at the end of the season, just one playtime from the King Overdose/Kill Our Demons and Wenger realized his time was up!
Kudos @JColeNC

The greatest shame is not that Wenger missed the opportunity to leave on a high, but the way some of our fans treated him towards the end.

Paul Merson: “They should drop the Emirates bit – they don’t need the money – & name it the Arsène Wenger Stadium. That’s his stadium. He built that. He made that stadium. Even if they call it the Emirates Arsène Wenger Stadium. He deserves to be on that.” #afc pic.twitter.com/8zCreksLaP

Speaks volumes of Wenger’s peak era that he’ll still be remembered as a legend and an innovator despite not doing anything legendary or innovative for over a decade.

Arsene Wenger is more than just a football manager. Arsene Wenger the manager is a maverick. Arsene Wenger the human being, is beyond the comprehension of the average man.
You must be a really bad human being to disrespect him.

Wenger set the bar really high for himself winning titles and going unbeaten, then set the bar low for his successor finishing 5th and 6th. And some think everything he’s done is not in Arsenal’s best interest. Ungrateful people.

Thank you Wenger, for all you did for football and so many young footballers, especially from Africa. You may not know it but you changed the fortune of a lot of families in Africa, by believing these young talents from Africa. The game would miss ur meekness and maturity. Bless! pic.twitter.com/0xGF6vK2ul

Tomorrow Arsene Wenger will still be a brilliant witty warm and caring man, and hateful idiots will still be hateful idiots.

The only manager in the Premier League that gave Sir Alex Ferguson a run for his money. He revolutionised the game, gave us the Invincbles, 3 PL titles, 7 FA Cups and gave us the likes of Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires etc. The man is a legend. Merci Arsène Wenger. pic.twitter.com/mavfjbznFZ

Am told Wenger informed the players in a dressing-room meeting at Colney at 9.45am. He wanted the players to know first before the announcement was made public.

As a United fan, I thought I was ready for Wenger to leave but I’m not. The memories of the intense United vs Arsenal rivalry during my childhood have all come rushing back. It’s not the same these days but he was like the last remaining piece

Neil Warnock on Wenger: “He’s the man who changed the whole face of the game. We owe him so much, yet have given him so much stick. In a way, I’m glad he’s going, I wouldn’t want to see him get any more vitriol than he’s had.” #afc pic.twitter.com/JcXg8DMLk1

The news of Wenger leaving oddly hits me like a Gunner. The man is a totemic figure. However you view the glass, he made Arsenal truly remarkable.
A proper football manager.

Arsenal Fans are definitely gonna miss the Arsene Wenger and i dont think any Manager will be able to Manage a club for 22 years nor 27 years like Alex Ferguson, that era of management will end at Wenger’s retirement.
