Arsenal supporters have continued their protests against under-fire
manager Arsene Wenger ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against
Manchester City - hiring a van decked out in slogans criticising the
Frenchman.
A run of four defeats from their last five Premier League games means
the Gunners have dropped to sixth in the table, level on points with
Everton, and their Champions League qualification is in doubt as a
result.
Arsenal's last match against West Brom saw rival planes flown over
The Hawthorns in bizarre scenes, with the first trailing a banner that
read "No contract. #WengerOut" followed by another that said "In Arsene
We Trust. #RespectAW".
And protests have stepped up a gear for the pivotal match against
City, with supporters renting a van to display an even longer message
calling for the veteran manager, who is out of contract at the end of
the season, to depart after 20 years in the post.
"Twenty years in Europe and we're still waiting..." reads the message
on the van, which also features the motif "In Wenger We Trust" - with
the T crossed out so it instead reads "In Wenger We Rust".
