Manager Arsène Wenger has praised the 'superb' reaction from Arsenal fans after the 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.

The fans have been on the team's back after a series of goalless draws saw the Gunners fall further behind in the race for fourth spot.

Wenger said: "That's very nice but less important because I cannot dribble on the pitch. The away fans have always been great to me.

"I don't have a problem with the fans being disappointed, that is normal and I never complain about that.

"It is down to us to make people happy not down to the people outside the pitch to make us happy.

"We need to get our priorities right and when you don't manage that I understand when people aren't happy."

Having some kind of acknowledgemant of acceptance for a cooment would be nice ... and a little less infuriating. Grrrrr.

Again Arsene Wenger doesn't seem to understand the relationship between a football club and its community. Happiness is the responsibility of neither. Only clowns and comedians are responsible for this kind of thing and I hope Wenger's not inferring that his players are clowns. The relationship he's talking about is bi-directional. What's been lacking at the Emirates these past weeks is the fans' side of the bargain. Shame on us and shame on Arsenal's manager for not recognizing this.

Wait till the end of season if the fans are on or against you.
