Press Association Sport's Mark Mann-Bryans sat down with two supporters with largely opposing views: Kane Hopps, a vocal protester who was labelled an 'idiot' by pundit Gary Neville for holding up an anti-Wenger sign, and Josh Landy from the 'Footballistically Arsenal' podcast who has a differing opinion on the Frenchman.
KH: "I am one of those protesters, I have been holding up banners. I don't necessarily think it is a good thing, I don't think it helps the club or comes across as good but as fans, I feel like to get our voice across to Wenger and the board I think it is the best way to do it."
JL: "But do you actually think the board are taking significant notice, will it impact whether he signs a new contract?"

KH: "The only way to make it clear is to do the protest because if we don't say something and the board all think it is rosy and no-one is saying anything, they will think they will have got away with it."
"In the past everyone has been a bit 'we want him to go' but they haven't been vocal, and he ends up signing a new contract.
JL: "We don't know. There is one example that we have got in recent times where a club has had a manager for 20 years, 25 years in Sir Alex Ferguson's case, and then has had a change. As predicted by many people it was incredibly difficult for the man who followed him."
"Is it that great where we are at the moment that, w ith the squad we have got, the money we have available to us and the facilities we have, I don't see us ever dropping out of the top six, top seven at worst."
KH: "I personally wouldn't be going and I think 20-30,000 others might join me..."
