“We live in a world which is very interesting but very excessive. It’s always excessive reaction,” says Gunners the Gunners boss.
The Frenchman is now blaming the media for making the Arsenal fans think that there is a crisis at the club.
Wenger points to the ugly scenes when the fans turned on the team brought on by all the negativity in the media.
Wenger it would appear is near to making his fist signing of the summer after Newcastle United Yohan Cabaye’s agent was in London to discuss a deal for the midfielder thought to be around the £16 mark.
This and the win over Fulham at the weekend should stem some of the fans complaints yet Wengers thinks many of the complaints have been unfounded saying: “The media in general has brainwashed a little bit the Emirates. Maybe rightly so, I don’t know, because we haven’t won trophies for years everything is negative. But we have to live with that and focus on playing well football.
“We lost one game since the beginning of March. That’s why it was a shock. But we won in the Champions League at Bayern Munich. We won at Fenerbahce. It is just like that at the moment.
“People always want news. We live in a world which is very interesting but very excessive. When people are not loyal, you are critical. When people are loyal, you say they have been there too long. It’s always excessive reaction. The people in charge need to keep their distance from that more than ever.
“Someone told me I have had 956 games for Arsenal. I care about this club and when we had last week’s result I was deeply disappointed. This is not a personal trip. This is about doing things well for the club I love and I am happy we are back on track.”
Wenger is still in the market for a striker with the club looking at Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema while also making enquires over Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil and Wayne Rooney.
Wenger added: “If we can gain one, two or even three more, we will do it. They (the players) want to win the league. They enjoy playing together and this is the first year when we have not been traumatised by losing players.”
