Well, that didn't take long.

Little more than a week ago, some Arsenal fans were feeling cautiously optimistic about the new 2017/18 Premier League season.

With new £52million man Alexandre Lacazette up front and the new three-at-the back system apparently tightening up the defence, there were some Gooners who felt this might be the campaign that saw Arsene Wenger once again fighting for the title.

That was before the Gunners' first two games of the season. First, despite beating Leicester in their opening match, they conceded three goals at home. Then, they put in a poor display at Stoke and lost 1-0.

For most clubs, this would be a mildly disappointing start. For a side who want to be up at the top end of the table come May, three points from their first two games would be considered a little below par. Not ideal; but not totally disastrous either.

Of course, Arsenal aren't 'most clubs'. Arsenal are a club with a huge number of supporters who only seem happy when they have reason to berate, abuse and slam their long-serving manager.

We have seen this anti-Wenger feeling develop into a demand for Wenger to leave in each of the last few seasons, as the 'Wenger Out' campaign has grown in strength over the course of a campaign. Last season, as it became clear that Arsenal were going to miss out on the top four, the anti-Wenger voices became so loud, there were even 'Wenger Out' planes flying over Gunners games.

That was at the END of the season. This time round, they're getting started early.

Remarkably, after two games and eight days of 2017/18, Arsenal's army of keyboard warriors have ALREADY had #WengerOut trending on Twitter.

Incredibly, at around 8pm on Saturday night - within an hour of the final whistle at Stoke - the Premier League's most notorious hashtag was trending in the UK:

Somewhat understandably, this saw Arsenal get quite a lot of grief:

Never change, Arsenal fans.…
