A group of Arsenal fans from around the world have teamed up to show their support for under-fire manager Arsene Wenger – by arranging a ‘respect’ banner to be displayed at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger's side sit 12 points off fourth-placed Liverpool with eight games left of the Premier League season, but have impressed in their last two matches including victory over AC Milan in the Europa League last-16 first-leg clash.
Large numbers of Arsenal fans have called for the long-serving Frenchman to leave the club this summer after disappointing performances on the pitch this season, but a group of 18 supporters from as far away as Saudi Arabia and Japan have backed a new banner which will make its debut in the North Bank during the return leg against Milan on Thursday.
