WENGER URGES FANS TO IGNORE BOYCOTT CALLS

Arsene Wenger has called on Arsenal fans to turn out in force for Tuesday’s game against Sunderland rather than take part in a boycott designed to hasten his removal as manager of the London giants.

The French boss is yet to announce if he will be staying at the Emirates Stadium when his current contract expires at the end of the season.

Arsenal have finished in the top four of every full season since Wenger took charge 21 years ago but, after Liverpool’s 4-0 win at West Ham on Sunday, they now need slip-ups from either the Merseysiders or Manchester City to help them maintain that proud record.

This season has already seen a number of ‘Wenger out’ protests by supporters groups, including planes flying over grounds carrying messages urging the 67-year-old to quit and marches before games, with some empty seats visible at recent Emirates fixtures.

Now there are calls for a mass boycott of Tuesday’s match at home to Sunderland.
