HE was considered a legend in Islington with crowds of fans wanting to shake his hand, but is now accused of outstaying his welcome as he faces a backlash from supporters of his own team.

But that’s enough about Arsène Wenger/Jeremy Corbyn… etc, etc

Almost trending on social media, see the evidence below, the switcharoos around the Arsenal manager and the Labour Party leader just keep coming. Everybody who tweets it thinks they’ve thought of it first, and on it goes. More, Corbyn/Wenger tweets, more, they may never end unless one of them quits.

The new twists on the ‘gag’ are something about both having empty cabinets, and something along the lines of: What’s the only difference between Jeremy Corbyn and Arsène Wenger? Not much – they both refuse to quit regardless of how many times they’re told to – but Wenger is much more keen on being in Europe.

While you’re all lolling yourself silly at the clockwork retelling of this switcharoo (even Piers Morgan has got involved), there is a warning for the people who want Corbyn, 67, to depart the Labour leadership, as much as some Arsenal fans want Wenger, 66, to leave the Gunners.

Corbyn was asked by the Islington Tribune in February, when Arsenal really were struggling and there was a revolt on the Emirates backbenches, as to whether he thought it was time for a change of management at the football club. He replied by urging Wenger to stand firm. “I’m with Saint Arsène,” he said. “Arsène is the Premier League’s longest serving manager, he’s very intelligent, very well-informed, a very knowledgeable guy.” To the delight of loyalists, he’s now applying his own advice to his own predicament.

Corbyn is in the same position as Arsene Wenger imo. The honourable thing to do is resign but it's wrong for the club to sack him lol

Corbyn is beginning to resemble the Arsene Wenger of the Labour Party he's a dead duck, everyone knows he's a dead duck yet still he quacks

— danders1888 (@TC1168) June 28, 2016

I think Corbyn is doing a bit of a Wenger.

— 𝐏𝐚𝐭 (@Whelts) June 27, 2016

Corbyn is as stubborn as Wenger when it comes to refusing to leave a job!

Corbyn's a Wenger-loving Arsenal fan. This may explain his empty cabinet.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 26, 2016

Jeremy Corbyn looks a bit like Arsene Wenger and that's half the reason i like him

Jeremy Corbyn is the Arsene Wenger of politics. An honourable and classy man in a dishonourable and vile game.

Has Corbyn or Wenger resigned yet

— DialSquare52 Paul (@DialSquare52) June 24, 2016

Corbyn's half-hearted pro-Remain stance was the equivalent of Wenger saying he wants a new striker but reminding us of Giroud's quality.
