Arsenal fans called for Arsene Wenger’s firing with a ‘Wexit’ march

Theo Walcott scored for Arsenal their first goal in the 45th minute, to get the lead for the Gunners after several attempts. I am not too much anxious about the rest. Ideally, I would love to but practically it’s very hard. “I have shown loyalty and my preference is always here”, Wenger said.

In fact, since the January loss to the Hornets, Arsenal have only managed to beat relegation-threatened Hull and two non-league sides in their last eight games in all competitions. We played against Darmstadt, who were in the fourth division at the time.

“Recently we have disappointed our fans”.

Wenger has faced calls for his resignation from angry Arsenal fans this week and there were more protests against the beleaguered Frenchman before Saturday’s clash at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners are the overwhelming favourites to advance to yet another FA Cup semi-final, but Lincoln’s manager says there’s a tiny chance his team can again cause a cup shock.

“We have to take a lot from our first-half performance”.

Regular starters Nathan Arnold, 29, and Matt Rhead, 33, should return to face Arsenal and they will both have to play well if Lincoln are to have any chance of at least getting a replay against the Premiership giants.

But for top Premier League clubs, games like these may be good to introduce younger players into the first team who may hopefully make a breakthrough.

Manchester City also reached the cup semifinals with a 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough secured by David Silva and Sergio Aguero.

From a distance a 5-0 scoreline seems emphatic enough and a bit of Cowley nearly seemed to enjoy seeing the precision of Arsenal’s players turning on the style close up.

Bellerin should have got his own name on the scoresheet four minutes later when he curled an effort wide of the target from a good position, but Arsenal’s third arrived soon enough when Luke Waterfall could only turn Gibbs’s low cross into his own net. ‘We are not far from second but we are far from first spot, but our aim is to finish second or as high as possible. The importance of the game has become bigger.

“And if we can really, really learn and take something from playing against world-class players then we will be better footballers and players as a result”.
