'I have nothing to be scared of, I don't care' - Wenger responds to that fan banner

Wenger feels the heat from Arsenal fans as Gunners book place in FA Cup sixth round.

ARSENE WENGER INSISTED he was not bothered by Arsenal fans holding up a banner asking for the Frenchman to quit during the Gunners’ 4-0 win over Hull City in the FA Cup.

Supporters were seen with a banner reading, ‘Arsene, Thanks for the memories but it’s time to say goodbye’ during the fifth round replay at the KC Stadium on Monday night.

Fans have grown frustrated with the club after falling eight points off the top of the table and with their Champions League hopes looking forlorn after a 2-0 first-leg defeat to Barcelona.

However, Wenger was defiant after the match, insisting his record speaks for itself and that he will continue to do his job.

“There’s nothing disappointing for me – you know, I do my job,” Wenger told reporters.

Look at the history of the club, since the club exists, and you will see that I have nothing to be scared of. I don’t care. I do not want to speak about that because it is always the same story.

“I told you already sometimes the press conferences are very boring and it is enough now. If you have any questions, you ask anybody else but you don’t come back to me with that.

“Do you know someone who has won it [the FA Cup] more than me?”

Wenger also insisted it was unfair to write Arsenal’s season off just yet and insisted his side would continue to fight on three fronts.

We judge the season afterwards and I’m quite amazed so many people judge it so early,” he added.

“We have not given up anywhere and you will see that in the coming weeks. This club has been in a much worse position than it is today.”

Harry Redknapp the latest to distance himself from the Newcastle job

    This clown was a walking joke a few weeks ago, one of the main reasons klopp was being considered as one of the first coaches to lose his job this season and now Lovern is giving interviews ahaha

    @AngryDave: What he says is true though. Liverpool were there for the taking at Anfield, Mourinho comes with a team of superstars and sets up like a team battling relegation.

    @Let free speech live: Question for ya? What has klopp won compared to Mourinho ??
    Some people forget that Ferguson line out with one striker away from home in most games, or he had his team play deep and hit teams on the counter.
    In the 90′s people raved about Liverpools style and they won nought.

    @AngryDave: 2 point lead after a net expenditure of £260 million more than Klopp over the past few years. You shouldn’t be comparing Mourinho with Klopp.It’s not like for like.You should be comparing him with Guardiola.Mourinho doesn’t look too great then.

    @AngryDave: Ferguson was committed to playing winning football though, Mourinho is an utter craven for whom decent football can be sacrificed at the altar of his goliath ego. He primarily prefers stopping others from winning in hopes of nicking a fortunate victory himself, and despite continually demanding millions to buy superstars, he lines them up like they’re FA Cup minnows away in the 3rd round and happily accepts bore draws because that’s better, to him, than suffering the mortal wound of going for it and risk allowing his managerial rivals to be able to say they got one over on him. Ferguson was not much more likeable but I’d happily have watched any of his united teams play, irrespective of how many strikers he’d lined up with.

    @AngryDave: what are you saying? That Jose is comparable to Ferguson? And that klopp is comparable to jose again?? Klopps not been in the game nearly as long. Won a few German league titles with a Dortmund team he bought for shillings too. What’s jose won at united bar a few micky mouse trophies? :^
    Mou is clearly on the decline while klopp obviously ,slowly but surely, had Liverpool improving

    @AngryDave: Exactly.So why are you asking what Klopp has won compared to Mourinho?
    Both at Liverpool and Dortmund he was competing against clubs with much larger budgets.
    The question is why Mourinho with the richest club in the world is in a tussle with Liverpool for 2nd place? Surely with his background of success and the funds at his disposal he should be challenging City not Liverpool.
    Case of Klopp getting the most of his resources, whilst Mourinho is underachieving.

    Apart from Lovren’s own dodgy performance, his central point is to be fair absolutely true. Liverpool are by their nature best when going for the jugular in attack, and don’t adopt a defensive approach. United, against the bigger teams, often do.
    That’s not to necessarily suggest Liverpool are better, just that playing for a point isn’t their style. It is unarguably in Jose’s locker.

    But how are United ahead of Liverpool if one plays boring defensive football and the other swash buckling, all out attack, glorious, throw your mother under the bus football? Although as a United fan I do believe league positions will change this weekend.

    @Andrew Cosgrave: Simply because with United’s approach you’re less likely to lose…
    And for what it’s worth I think Liverpool are a good bet to finish ahead of United.
