Arsene Wenger criticises ‘virus’ among Arsenal support

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hit out at some of the negativity amongst the Gunners’ supporters, comparing it to a ‘slow=-travelling virus’.

The North London club take on Swansea City, and their new manager Bob Bradley, in the Premier League this weekend.

Wenger describes last season’s meeting, which ended in defeat against a weakened side, as the lowest point of last season. The support for Wenger by Arsenal fans –  as he celebrates his 20th anniversary as manager – has been up and down. The fans can be divided in their support: some back the Frenchman to the hilt, while others hold up placards at matches demanding his departure.

‘I must say that the negativity comes very quickly — it is a virus that travels very quickly and goes very slowly.” Wenger said.

This season, so far, is going better for Arsenal, with just one defeat so far.

‘I believe at the moment the vibes are positive,’ Wenger said. ‘We are closer to the teams at the top. We have to continue to get to the next level. We have to create a positive environment and to do that we have to perform.

We want to perform. The rest we have to ignore. Let’s focus on the way we perform and the way we play.

‘You focus on what is important for you and what can help you; the way the team plays and the assessment of people around you. Fans are part of our game and they have the right to be happy or not to be happy. My job is to focus on my job and trying to make them happy.’
