 WENGER LEAVES THE PITCH IN DEEP GRIEVE AFTER THE MATCH

Arsenal Football Club of London players  struck a pitiful sight again as they matched towards the tunnel after the end of their match against Crystal Palace ,also of London in which they were beaten flatly by three goals to nothing.

Fans at the Olufemi Ajayi Street Football Viewing Centre in Ifako-Ijaiye,Lagos,Nigeria were seen trooping out of the place at least 10 minutes to the end of the game saying they could not stomach the psychological damage the team was doing to them anymore.

Fans were sighted via television at Selhurst  Park in London,United Kingdom still insisting on the sack of Coach Arsene Wenger as the only panacea to the crisis bedeviling the football club at the  moment.

It is now all but certain that there will be no U.E.F.A. Champions Football League to be competed  for by the team in 2017 and 2018 season and this would have guaranteed the brand a lot of revenues  ranging from sponsorships,advertising,merchandising,branding,ticketing,marketing,television and allied media rights among other perks  too numerous to be mentioned,but now all that opportunity would appear to have gone down the drain.

This is aside what Arsenal football club will lose from the English Football Association for not being among the top four as well.

The team played without a soul or fighting spirit as they played as if nothing was at stake thus leading to questions as to the reaol situation at the Emirate Stadium.

When in the 92^nd minute,English Forward,Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain kicked the ball into the stands instead of inside the net as expected ,that type of display sort of summed up the entire misery Arsenal and its teeming fans globally have had to endure  since Bayern Munich  of Germany literarily ran amok and put the team to the swords over two legs at 10 goals to  2 in that better forgotten  U.E,F.A. Champions Football League  2^nd round knock out phase recently.

Insiders  in London, United kingdom “s Emirati stadium ,home of Arsenal Football Club insists that some of the supporters who have vowed not to buy seasons ticket at the ned of the regular football season will most likely form a bigger group as part of a larger agenda to force the hands of Coach Arsene Wenger and make him to throw in the towel.

This is against an earlier notion that tickets were broght in bulk over several season which turned out to be not correct an opinion.

The Arsenal squad collectively stand to lose up to £5million if they fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, the Times’ Gary Jacob has revealed.

The Gunners reward players for reaching the group stage of the competition with an average bonus of about £200,000 per player, although not every player is paid the same amount.

It’s not just the players who will lose out if Arsene Wenger’s side miss out on the top four for the first time in his reign. The club will see a massive loss in revenue from UEFA.

Crucially, the Gunners still have to play Spurs, Man United and Everton in their remaining nine league matches.
