Arsene Wenger has no doubts over his position, despite speculation about his future at Arsenal. The Gunners have recorded disappointing results recently and have slipped to third place in the Premier League table, 11 points behind leaders Leicester City. They also got knocked out of all the cup competitions, a string of misfires that pushed some Arsenal fans to call for his resignation.
The 66-year-old French manager, who has led the Gunners for 20 seasons, says he is totally committed to lead the club to glory again. At a news conference he was asked if he would be Arsenal manager next season, and he said: "I have no doubt because I am committed. When I do something, I do it 100 per cent. I'm always committed to give my best as long as I am at the club. I believe in life you should focus on what you're appointed for and I'm appointed to perform and do the best for my club. That's all I focus on."
"I think that the criticism during the season is not very welcome when you fight for the championship, especially after the game against Tottenham where we were a bit unlucky," Wenger added. "You have to live with that. I have my conscience. What is the most important is that I give my best every day, I work for the club I love and if I can share that love with the supporters it's even better. I don't worry too much about all the rest, what people say. All the rest is judgments, opinions and that is linked with the beliefs from the last result or the last disappointment or the last happiness. In my job you focus on what is important and that's to perform. My future is my future. I don't master that more than you."
Arsenal are currently 6/1 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title this season.

Arsene is not making great successes in last few seasons with the gunners,but I really think that Arsenal could not have better manager.All the great managers are already contracted to other clubs so they must continue to trust in Arsene and hope that he will fint the way to make the team stronger.

It's disputable what's the best for Arsenal future, but one thing is for sure Wenger is the most successful Arsenal manger ever and I think the board have to allow him to choose by himself when he want to retire . And I'm sure he will know better than anybody when that time comes.Arsenal to fire Wenger would be like MU...

And I'm sure he will know better than anybody when that time comes.Arsenal to fire Wenger would be like MU to fire SAF it just doesn't sound right! But I think the decision that he stay would have an effect even this season and I expect Arsenal form to go up as a result of that

Go home man, raise your grandchildren, play some chess i dont know. His 100 per cent aren't enough anymore. He's 100 per cent is now like a 50 per cent of what for example Guardiola can do. But well, if they decide to once again be the fourth on the standings, I'm ok with that, not complaining .

I'm not sure about what Arsenal's board is thinking right now. Yes, this man, Arsene Wenger has given them a lot, he is true Gunners legend. But results are missing for almost a decade. He might didn't have right team for a job until few seasons ago. But at the moment he has two out of three best players in the league - Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. And what's the problem now? He needs more money, more 50 million euros transfers? I think he should go, things are not working out anymore and that is the fact.

He is so sure about this job because owner don't care about what fans think about their club. The most important thing for them is to make profit every year and Arsene is magician in that aspect. It is important to play every year in Champions League and reach 4th spot in Premiership. Arsenal is widely popular club and their fans are investing so much money in them. Arsenal's ticket prices are by far the highest in Premiership but they are not spending money to make those fans happy. Profit, profit, profit and as long as Wenger makes owners money he will continue to be Arsenal's coach.
