Arsene Wenger has hit out at media 'brainwashing' as fan protests against his management continue, urging fans and pundits to take a step back and make objective judgements rather than emotional ones.
With his contract set to run out this summer, the veteran Frenchman has yet to commit to a decision on his Emirates future - as small, vocal pockets of the club's support beg for him to leave the club at the end of the season.

A pair of 5-1 defeats at the hands of Bayern Munich, paired with indifferent league form which has left the Gunners 16 points behind leaders Chelsea with just a single game in hand.
Quoted by theMirrorover the weekend in response to criticism, Wenger insisted:You can't live in an isolated world.
"When you're a footballer, even if you don't read it you're told what Âpeople think. You can't live in a world where you can't be influenced by Âanything.For example, I watched the last 20 minutes of PSG v Barca again. It's Âinteresting when you see all the conclusions that come out of the game.

And the same people who spoke after the game said with 10 minutes to go that PSG was Âabsolutely outstanding. Ten minutes later, they're absolutely rubbish. People brainwash you with what they think is right.
Get out of that heated Âatmosphere and look at things in an objective way. Sometimes it confirms what people say. Sometimes it doesn't.I managed about 2,000 games - I might know a Âlittle something about the game as well.�
