So young and with so much energy. Will always remember that guy.

thanks for the memories and much respect for not making the board fire you which they probably wouldn't have.

finally.

I think they just did. This is an elegant way of saying it for all parties.

It's funny. Been waiting for this day for years and yet my first reaction is sadness.

Just seeing the news now. I'm happy, for us and for him, but there are many brands of sadness as well. Melancholy, bittersweet, a sense of loss, nostalgia...how can it be that this guy is such a huge part of my life? What a strange day.

Let's win the Europa Cup for Wenger. It's time to for everyone to move on.

Just read somewhere that reportedly Arsene has been in a relationship with his ex-wife, Annie, for a while now and that she played a big part in convincing him it was time.

Buy that fuckin woman a new car!

You still that announcing his departure and letting him stay is the wrong move?

The Plug called this during Christmas, starting to believe that he knows a couple of things.

I'm filled with feelings of hope and sadness, but it all seems so surreal. So many false dawns, times when I thought it was the right time, he would go, things would move on and change, and now that it's been announced I find it all a bit strange.

It's lovely reading all the tributes and nice words about the man though.

I can understand why one would feel melancholic and sad about him finally leaving but at the same time it's not just the best for Arsenal Football Club but for himself as well. He's not up to it any longer and will spare himself a lot of grief by not being on the sidelines anymore

Funny how many inactive posters have already come in today. We should celebrate this day by doing amnesties to those who've been banned like when a new king is crowned

It's a sad day because such an influential and constant part of Arsenal and my life has is drawing to a close which is always sad it marks the end of a chapter and link to my youth, a sign that things move on and all things end. But it is the right thing for the club in order to move forward this had to happen it also removes an easy shield from the board and the players. No hiding behind Wenger there is finally some accountability coming to the club.

Can you imagine how happy Biggus is. 😆

Think posts here show that straight out celebration isn't the mood across the board.

Personally I'm relieved that he made the decision as the atmosphere around the club was rotting but I'm highly sceptical about what comes next given the owner and the board.

A good decision, he deserves a massive sendoff now. Think this could only bode well for our chances in the Europa League.

i certainly dont think it will hurt our chances.. could mean that the players are more determined to win it than ever to send him off a european champion

Finally left the office. I’m off to drink. Pray I don’t poison myself from celebratory over-indulgence

Best news ever. Thanks for the early success Arsene.
