Pressure has been mounting on Arsene Wenger to stand down as Arsenal boss after a humiliating 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Arsenal fans led a protest calling for Wenger to leave prior to their Champions League second leg in the week and they marched again today before their FA Cup match against Lincoln.

But Gallas, who played under Wenger between 2006 and 2010, believes the Frenchman has earned the right to have one more summer transfer window to turn things around.
"I hope for him because he deserves it for what he did at Arsenal before," Gallas said on Soccer AM.
"I said before he just has to speak with the board and to change their policy, maybe to bring more experienced players and players with more personality who can shout on the pitch when they don't play well.
"But I think he should stay."
