HITC Sport speaks to Arsenal fan Jon Rennes, who has been a supporter for 15 years.
General view of the Emirates Stadium before the match
Q: What have you made of your team’s start to the season?
A: Pretty average as per usual, maybe even a little worse.
Q: What are your opinions on your manager?
A: Tough one…I’m definitely a bit on the fence, not fiercely Wenger in or out and wouldn’t fight my fellow supporters at away games over the issue, but overall I do probably think it’s time for him to step aside. Having said that when top players say they will only stay if he does that’s a problem.

Q: What are your views on the board?
A: Useless and probably do more than anyone else to hold the club back whilst ripping the fans off with ridiculous ticket prices and limited investment.
Q: Who is your favourite current player?
A: Alexis Sanchez.
Q: Who is your favourite ever player?
A: Thierry Henry.

Q: What has been your best memory of the club?
A: Seeing Henry score an Henry-special during his brief return. Think it was the winner v Leeds in the cup 2-1 from 1 down.
Q: What has been your most disappointing moment?
A: Losing to Barcelona in the Champions league after being one-nil up.
Q: What has been your most shocking moment?
A: Losing to Birmingham, City in the final of the league cup or whatever it happened to be called at the time.
Q: Which ground is your favourite away day?
A: The Etihad Stadium (Manchester City).
Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium
Q: Who do you consider to be the club’s biggest rival and why?
A: Tottenham, I guess, for obvious reasons, although Chelsea come a close second. They’re upstarts with less history than Spurs.
Q: Who do you feel has been the club’s best and worst summer signing?
A: This summer? Best is Mustafi, and worst Lucas although he probably deserves to be given more of a chance.
Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi
Q: Who is your one player to watch out for this season?
A: Granit Xhaka.
Q: Is there a particular youth player that excites you, and why?
A: Alex Iwobi.
Q: Finally, what are your aims for this season, and where do you think your club will finish?
A: Top four as usual, and possibly the Cup if we keep getting lucky draws all the way to and including the final. I reckon if we get any other top six side at any point, especially away from home or in the final, we will lose.
