The last few seasons of Arsene Wenger were marked with stability issues on and off the pitch. Frequent fan protests along with banners flying over the stadium demanding the sacking of the Frenchman became a regular scene. With Wenger gone, Arsenal has entered a new era. While the fans are wary of what happened to their eternal rivals Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson left, the instability at Old Trafford has taken the attention off the Emirates stadium.

This season Manchester United has been embroiled with issues on and off the pitch. While Arsenal suffered defeats in the two opening games, they have steadied their ship with a run of wins. That has silenced critics and fans are finally enjoying some good football at the Emirates. As the Red Devils continue to struggle, a season of stability and quiet is just what Arsenal need to safely navigate the post-Wenger era.
