Wenger Backs Arsenal Fans

Arsene Wenger has backed the reaction of the fans following the opening day defeat against West Ham and claims that Arsenal fans are passionate.

It’s no longer news that whenever Arsenal loses a match, a certain trend on twitter becomes rampant. People start to tweet their outrage with #WengerOut. Wenger was asked about why people tend to overreact whenever Arsenal loses a match, and he replied that the fans are passionate.

In Wenger’s words, “Passion, love and that’s what hurts. We have a big following and disappointed people are emotional and that is understandable and that’s what hurts us as well. It hurts us to disappoint people who have a high level of expectation from us. But we on ourselves on our side have to put things in perspective, we come out from a very strong run and we have 37 games to go. It’s how we respond.”
