So Arsenal's final home game of the season wraps up 22 years of Arsene Wenger roaming the touchline at the club's grounds in London. And outside the Emirates Stadium, thousands of fans gathered to help send off the Gunners' iconic French manager. Damion Jones has more.
On a day filled with nostalgia, Arsenal fans packed the Emirates Stadium and the streets surrounding the venue, sporting tee-shirts emblazoned with the phrase "Merci Arsene" to show their appreciation for the longtime manager's accomplishments.
But sentimentality aside, many supporters have grown increasingly frustrated with the Gunners lack of EPL and UEFA Champions League titles in recent seasons, and Thursday's loss to Atletico Madrid means the club will miss Europe's top continental competition for the second straight campaign. That left a number of backers savoring the afternoon, while looking forward to the future.
Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to three English Premier League trophies, and a record seven FA Cups, with his crowning moment being the 2003-04 season when the Gunners won the EPL with a record of 26 wins, 12 draws, and no losses. It is memories like those from that Invincible era that came to mind, as spectators signed a tribute book ahead of kickoff, which will be presented to the long-serving coach at the end of this farewell campaign.
