8 talking points from the Premier League weekend

Wenger’s future is still very much up in the air

Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have been very much in the spotlight in the past week, and after a 2-0 win over Hull, the pressure has been eased slightly on the Frenchman.

In a week where Ian Wright became convinced that Wenger would leave The Gunners at the end of the season, the result against Hull will have given the team and Arsenal fans a little bit more confidence as they head in to a pivotal set of fixtures in the next few weeks.

Wenger hit back, claiming he has no intention of quitting, but a slip-up to relegation-battlers Hull would have surely had the Arsenal fan base and journalists alike baying for his blood.

Arguably not the most vintage of Arsenal performances, two goals were enough to earn the North Londoners the three points, but there can be no doubt that Wenger’s future is still very much under intense scrutiny.

Only he truly knows when he will call time on his illustrious career, but the pressure will only grow if Arsenal fans continue to view their teams’ progress as less than convincing.
