Arsene Wenger has brushed off calls from Arsenal supporters to resign

Arsene Wenger has brushed off calls from Arsenal supporters to resign Arsene Wenger gave short shrift to renewed calls for him to leave after Arsenal comprehensively beat Hull to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals. Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott each scored twice as the Gunners made light work of their fifth-round replay at the KC Stadium, although the 4-0 victory clearly was not enough for a section of the travelling support. 'Arsene, thanks for the memories but it's time to say goodbye' read a banner held aloft in the away end towards the end of the match, somewhat taking the gloss off an impressive display by the Gunners. Champions League - Today "There's nothing disappointing for me - you know, I do my job," Wenger said. "Look at the history of the club, since the club exists, and you will see that I have nothing to be scared of." Asked why the supporters had done it, he bristled: "I don't care. I do not want to speak about that because it is always the same story. Per Mertesacker, Aaron Ramsey and Gabriel were injured in Arsenal's win at Hull Per Mertesacker, Aaron Ramsey and Gabriel were injured in Arsenal's win at Hull "I told you already sometimes the press conferences are very boring and it is enough now. "If you have any questions, you ask anybody else but you don't come back to me with that." The banner was a reaction to Arsenal's form away from the FA Cup, with an almighty turnaround required to overcome Barcelona in the Champions League next week. Olivier Giroud celebrates scoring the opening goal at the KC Stadium Olivier Giroud celebrates scoring the opening goal at the KC Stadium It is the eight-point gap to Premier League leaders Leicester that really sticks in the craw, though - not that Hull counterpart Steve Bruce can comprehend the anger aimed at Wenger. "I just can't understand that for the life of me," he said. "But, then again, we're in a crazy industry at the moment where the coach or the manager, no matter who you are or what respect you've got - [you will have] people coming after you. We are going to talk about it, probably. Theo Walcott set up one and scored twice as Arsenal reached the last eight Theo Walcott set up one and scored twice as Arsenal reached the last eight "The fella has been immense for Arsenal for 20 years and maybe these idiots, who think they want change... until they have change might rue that decision forever more. "He has been managing Arsenal since '96, which is quite remarkable. "He has been able to shrug it off, dust it off. He's a very, very experienced man and we're talking about one of the greats here. Steve Bruce defended 'immense' Wenger due to his 20-year spell with the Gunners Steve Bruce defended 'immense' Wenger due to his 20-year spell with the Gunners "For what he has done, I think people have to realise what he has done and achieved at Arsenal, but it doesn't seem enough any more. "They don't have a divine right to win it with the spending power others have got, so I can't understand it." Bruce's respect for Wenger is as clear as it is understandable, despite having just been knocked out of the FA Cup by him for a third straight season. The first exit came as Arsenal won the 2014 final and, having beaten Aston Villa at Wembley last year, Tuesday's replay success puts Wenger's men on course to win it for a third successive year.

Men eat this ancient fruit & you will get bigger manhood size

Are you still amidst the few dudes that are asking whether penis size is essential to women sexual satisfaction? There is no need prolonging this issue, just be aware of this - BABES ENJOY AND CRAVE FOR BIGGER PENIS SIZES! Every chick would like to have a gentleman that is well endowed in penile size and has adequate sexual skills to be able to give her amazing sessions in bed. A lot of chicks would not honestly say the reality about their craving for bigger penises, this is only common. No female wants to be seen as a Ashawo! That is why they pretend. The main reason why Nigerian women love large penises (especially those who have had lovers that are well endowed) has to do with the structure of the vagina. There are pleasure centers that are located deep into the vagina and around the walls of the vagina . A small or average penis is not capable of stimulating all these pleasure centers and these usually results in a woman not being fully satisfied. But a big...
