Arsene Wenger insists he "is not bothered at all" by the
continued speculation about his future at Arsenal.
• Gazidis: Wenger is safe at Arsenal
Wenger guided the Gunners into the fourth round of the Carling Cup with a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury on Tuesday night, after receiving the full backing of chief executive Ivan Gazidis in
the wake of a disappointing run of results, including Saturday's 4-3 capitulation at
struggling Blackburn.
The questions surrounding the Frenchman's future again surfaced when James Collins headed the League Two side ahead after 16 minutes.
However, England defender Kieran Gibbs levelled before the break with his first
senior goal, before the lively Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired in a 25-yard effort
on the hour and Yossi Benayoun wrapped things up late on.
Despite the criticism, Wenger again stated he has no intentions of letting anything shift his focus
from getting the club back on track.
"I am not bothered at all by this speculation. I am completely focused on
doing well," he said.
"I can understand that people are unhappy and criticise, but you know as well
as I know people are very quick to go overboard.
"When we do well we take all the plaudits, so we have to take as well all the
blame when it doesn't go as well - but we have as well on both sides to take
some distance.
"When it goes well we must not completely believe what people say and when it
does not go as well, we must not completely believe it."
