Arsenal maintains 6th spot on the English Premier League table after a 5-0 victory over Burnley at Emirates yesterday. Arsenal's performance was a well deserved farewell gift for Arsene Wenger who was given a guard of honour ahead of the match.
Arsenal supporters were each given a 'Merci Arsene' t-shirt as they sang a long chorus of "One Arsene Wenger" along with Burnley fans
just before the 68-year-old Wenger ended his day with a short goodbye speech.

See full text of speech below....
"Thank you every much. Before I start, I just want to wish my fellow manager Alex Ferguson well. Thank you for having me for such a long time.
I know that's not easy. But above all, I am like you, I am an Arsenal fan. This is more than just watching football, it's a way of life. It's caring about the beautiful game, about the values we cherish, and as well, that something that goes for all our bodies in every cell of our bodies. We care, we worry, we are desperate, but when you come here, the theatre of dreams we realise what it means.
"I would like as well to thank everyone at the club who makes it so special, I would invite you, really push, support these players and the staff who remains behind me, these group of players has a special quality. Not only on the pitch, but off the pitch. Please, as you follow this team, support them next season because they deserve it.
"I would like to finish in one simple sentence: I will miss you. Thank you all for having such an important part of my life, thank you all, well done, bye bye."
