Emotional Arsenal supporter fights back the tears on BBC radio show after Brighton defeat

There surely can't be any way back for Arsene Wenger now.

Even Wenger's most loyal supporters have started to turn on the long-time Arsenal manager after one of the worst spells for the Gunners in recent years. A shock Europa League loss to Ostersund was followed by two consecutive 3-0 defeats to Manchester City before, on Sunday, the North London side were overturned by Brighton. Arsenal Fan TV was more aggressive than ever before as the Wenger Out brigade became something of a baying mob demanding change. Nobody can deny that Wenger will go down as a legendary manager and, according to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, he ought to be offered the dignity of bowing out at the end of the season without the kind of scorn he's currently facing. While several Arsenal fans are absolutely furious that the club allowed to take the club into these depths, several are simply grief-stricken and of the belief that nothing is going to change. It's that feeling of hopelessness that prompted one crestfallen supporter to call into BBC 5 Live to express his opinion on the downfall of Arsenal. "It was a horrible, horrible atmosphere to be involved in," said the fan, whose name is Khalid.

"It was very toxic at times. A few fights broke out in the stands and it's just really unfortunate."

Host Kelly Cates and former Arsenal forward Ian Wright didn't expect the emotional outpouring from the supporter, whose voice began cracking on the air. Wright looked visibly uncomfortable as he removed his headphones when he heard the fan start to break down and just started shaking his head in disbelief at the upset that was pervading the fanbase. He continued: "It's just heartbreaking to witness a team I've supported all my life to be absolutely... when you look at the players 1-11 they don't know what it means to put that red and white jersey on and it's just unfortunate that they don't have the heart and they don't have the desire and the passion to play like what's expected of them at Arsenal Football Club. https://twitter.com/HonestFrank/status/970441496402059264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fuk-trending "You could almost sense... on Thursday night I was at the Man City game as well where the stadium was empty and you felt there was a change that needs to happen... something needs to happen because it can't go on much longer like this."
