Arsenal v AC Milan - UEFA Europa League Round of 16: Second Leg
This has been a forgettable season for the Gunners

For 22 long years, Arsene Wenger has held the fort at Arsenal, and there are very few in the modern game who can rival his long and glorious career. But it is time for a change.

Arsenal fans have called for the sacking of the Frenchman for over half a decade now, only to see him being rewarded with contract renewals. Arsenal sit at a miserable 6th position in the table - 33 points behind runaway leaders, Manchester City.

Arsenal have been knocked out of the FA Cup by minnows Nottingham Forest, lost the Carabao Cup finals 0-3 to Manchester City in depressing fashion and are out of contention for a UEFA Champions League spot next season. Their last hope is the Europa League, where they have reached the quarter-finals and have done reasonably well.

The last time Arsenal won the Premier League was back in the 2003/04 season and despite having finished as a top-4 side in every season until the last, the side has regressed rapidly. Their style of playing is still similar to that of old - quick 1-2s and fast-paced football, but their defence has been abysmal of late.

There is nothing more that Wenger has to prove to anyone, and chances are that this will be his last year at the club. What will be interesting is how Arsenal manage without the man who shaped the history of the club almost single-handedly.

Will they bring in someone who has the same philosophy as Wenger's? Or will they look to someone who can grind the results out without having any qualms about the way in which they win? Either way, this summer will be an exciting time for the Gunners and their fans.
