Arsene Wenger has told Arsenal’s angry to fans to back the team – because that is what they are there to do.
The Gunners boss was abused by a handful of supporters (see video) at Stoke station after last Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at the Britannia Stadium.
He insisted he does not care about his popularity rating, but before the home clash with Newcastle said: “What is in the word supporter? Support. It says what it says.
“I don’t expect anything but if you will look at the history of Arsenal and what we have achieved in the last 18 years and we have moved forward and that what is what we want to continue to do.
“I have managed in 180 Champions League games. How many Champions League games did Arsenal play before?”
Wenger loyalists also fought last Saturday with those who want him out, but the man at the centre of it all says he is not concerned whether a majority of fans would like him to leave.
He said: “That is not my problem. My problem is to win football games. I am not a politician who has a poll every week to see if you support me. I am paid to win games. My sense is to focus on my job.
“Honestly you don’t think I will find 20 people who say that you are rubbish? Do they represent the majority of people? I don’t know but you have to win your football games, that’s all.”
