Wenger's continued stay at Arsenal in what is another disappointing season with the Gunners, especially in the Premier League has led to their own fans becoming increasingly disillusioned with the way the club is run.

The event organiser as well as the two guests in former Lazio forward Hernan Crespo and former Manchester United star Louis Saha were caught off-guard when the individual dressed in a chicken suit walked in casually, imitating the clucking sound of a chicken to display his home-made sign.

It took a moment before everyone realised that it wasn't a gimmick and was in fact a proper gatecrasher, before the security finally moved in on the individual to remove him from the scene. The individual is believed to have been released with a warning but the damage has already been done.

This is not the first instance of such public display in Malaysia as there were several fans that turned up for the 2017 Malaysia Cup final with the same hashtag signs last year.
