Arsene Wenger isn’t every Arsenal supporter’s cup of tea at this moment in time. You’ve probably heard.
The Gunners sit sixth in the Premier League and have had their Champions League hopes dashed by a 10-2 aggregate pasting at the hands of Bayern Munich. Because of this, there are calls from fans for Wenger to leave at the end of the season – calls that only intensified as Arsenal were beaten 3-1 at West Brom at the weekend.
But hey, at least the international break would be cause for pissed off Arsenal fans to leave off their manager for a few days, right?
Wrong.
With England facing Germany in the Lukas Podolski testimonial a friendly in Dortmund on Wednesday night, the game’s only goal was another excuse for Gooners to moan about their manager.

Lukas Podolski, a man who spent three years at The Emirates, scored the goal on his final appearance for his country, thundering it home from outside of the box. And the sight of his brilliantly struck winner was enough to see the #WengerOut brigade out in force.

Podolski scores a bullet. We had him but Wenger preferred giroud. #GERENG #wengerout
