In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
How much longer will he stay at Arsenal? He's 65 later this year, will he fancy a crack somewhere else before he's too old? I'm sure he's turned down a few opportunites but maybe an international job?
I'd say he'll do another 5 years (unless he feels he can't contribute) when he'll be 70. I think he will try to transition rather than jump off, which will be interesting since it's never really been done except at Liverpool with Shankley to Paisley
A lot of nice tributes in that Daily Mail link.

I just want to say congratulations. You made such a big impact on so many players’ careers, especially on mine. I owe you everything.

The other week he wrote about how Ozil was stealing a living at Arsenal (article was written before the 2nd Bayern match even ended) yet this week when talking about Spurs talked about how their new players need time and how Spurs are overachieving!
Like the Daily Mail just trying to grab attention rather than write anything of any substance.
Has his time run up? Every season its just the same thing over again. Arsenal haven't realistically challenge for the the title in a very long time. I think next season should be make or break for him.
Counterpoint: No.
The board love him and his vision so its unlikely they will put any pressure on him, the only way i see it changing is if they spend big over the summer and they still see no returns.
Twitter seems to have exploded with rumours that he's retiring at the end of the season.
More than likely bollocks though.

Any credence to them? Arsenal supporters?
He cancelled his press conference and people are basing it on that.
There's definitely some proper dressing downs going on though. The Arsenal players via twitter and facebook have been noticeably silent.
Genuine question, why does this happen every February and March?
March, in terms of league form, bizarrely, is one of Wenger's best. November is traditionally far worse.
It's poor season management, generally. It's a lack of comprehension that the season hits its peak in terms of difficulty now. You have to maintain fitness over the course of the year. We're burnt out. We haven't peaked at the right time. That's an issue with the fitness staff and the management staff too.
Where's Diaby? Seriously. He's been missing for a year and he's still pocketing 60k/pw. He's like a worse version of Anderson
Nope, Diaby is miles better. He's just way too injury prone.
Hope the rumours of Arsene going are true.
Diaby will be back next season for the game at Anfield to avenge our 5-1 defeat this season.
You want him to leave?
What is happening right now is due to us being without Theo, Ramsey, Ozil & Wilshere. The first three in particular helped paper over our other positions we are weak in but without them we don't have much in reserve.
Yep, I want him to leave. I have a big respect for him, but him going would benefit us immensely. If it is true I just hope it isn't for health reasons or something like that.
I was listening to a podcast that called him out as a coach/manager BEFORE the mauling and some good points were made. I'll list them tomorrow.
You can't be sure as he hasn't signed a contract but I don't think he'll leave over this match. IMO if he isn't sure then he'll wait till the season is over and will assess things then.
If he does leave and you're looking to replace him with some good old Scottish stability and longevity, then we know just the guy!
He must be related to David Moyes somewhere along the line.
The only solace of Arsenal's cup win is Arsene's finally won a trophy.
how do you know until it happens?
A new manager might come in and actually make Arsenal more consistant in winning trophies instead of specialists in failure with a cup win every few years
Glad for Wenger.
I feel really happy for him. He looks like he's going to explode in happiness.
Where are we up to with his contract, currently?
You do have to wonder when he'll step down now, looking at how old and frail he looks.
Congrats Arsene
He's still getting 100 free texts a month.
fortunately for all the other clubs...this FA cup win will be a false dawn and they will reward him with a new contract
Congratulations Arsene Wenger. Since United and Arsenal stopped being rivals, I've really come to like and respect the man and he doesn't deserve half the abuse he gets. Might not be as good as other managers but he's as classy as they get. Proper gentleman.
He's bursting with glee inside. Look at that beaming smile on his face. Huge relief for him. Arsenes happy 
Delighted for Wenger. One of football's genuine gentlemen.
I'm quite pleased for him. I reckon he'll stay at Arsenal now and I can see them spending big in the summer.
It's a shame the drought is over but oh well.

Congratulations Arsenal and Wenger, feel strangely happy for them.
