23 January, after defeat by Manchester United
"Sunday felt like a tipping point for Wenger because the dissent was so vociferous and widespread … As another crisis bites, there are no clear solutions. The ever-decreasing circles are dizzying" David Hytner
18 February, after 4-0 defeat by Milan
"The deterioration has been nothing short of staggering and you have to wonder whether Wenger, already planning for next season, is in danger of joining the list of football greats who stayed too long" Daniel Taylor
8 March, after Champions League elimination
"The final result made Arsenal feel better about themselves but it is important they don't use a very respectable result to paper over the cracks. Until they can add some more substance to back up the first XI there is only so far they can go" Amy Lawrence
1 April, after defeat by Queens Park Rangers
"For Arsenal, defeat emphasised their fickle nature these days. There was nothing in Saturday's performance that could mollify the disappointment. Arsène Wenger's men created little and were dictated to in all quarters" Jonny Weeks
6 May, after draw with Norwich
"Not for the first time this season the Frenchman intimated there might have been some complacency in his team. The fact that Wenger did, in the early part of his Arsenal career, produce teams with the personality and endurance to finish a campaign strongly makes the trend even more puzzling" Amy Lawrence
5 June, start of transfer window
"Gazidis accepted that the 'creditable performance' was not a cause for 'popping champagne corks' because everybody, from the majority shareholder Stan Kroenke downwards, wanted to win things. Arsenal have not won a trophy since the FA Cup in 2005" David Hytner
4 July, Robin Van Persie says he wants to leave
Van Persie cannot be deemed a mercenary after all the seasons in north London, but in the end he ran out of patience. Arsenal fans are loyal but they know how he feels" Kevin McCarra
31 August, end of transfer window
"Arsenal are once more giving off the impression they are not ready. Sometimes Wenger must feel as if he is renovating a house whose roof bows the moment he has just finished polishing the floorboards, yet once the roof has been fixed a window breaks and once the window is repaired the electrics blow. Arsenal are in a state of perpetual reconstruction" Amy Lawrence
30 September, after defeat by Chelsea
"Blame for their first defeat of the season could be shared throughout the side. There were deficiencies in defence, deficiencies in midfield and deficiencies up front" Paul Doyle
25 October, annual general meeting
"Arsenal have never seemed further removed from their original dictum. Victoria Concordia Crescit (Victory Through Harmony) seemed like a distant memory as supporters made clear their discontent and the board members snapped back" Amy Lawrence
3 November, after defeat by Manchester United
"The wonky defence, the habit of making life hard for themselves, the shoddy errors, the problems created by fielding raw, unreliable players – it's all clouded in a sense of déjà vu" Daniel Taylor
3 December, after defeat by Swansea
"The only possible conclusion is that Wenger has lost the instinct that brought a crop of influential players to Arsenal during his early years … Left to his own devices, the visionary has run out of vision" Richard Williams
