Arsenal fans in general had mixed feelings. With some feeling it was the right time to step down but there was a lot of messages thanking Wenger for his services to the club.
After all the good times were pretty great under the Frenchman.
My greatest memory of Wenger is winning the league at Spurs, it turned so sour and he should have left years ago, but it’s over, let’s look forward as fans because this could be a very exciting future ahead for us all pic.twitter.com/ViZDHWf78t
