Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was defiant after victory at Udinese last night. Wenger hit back at his critics after seeing his team qualify for the Champions League group phase.
"We live in a society where everybody has an opinion on everything," Wenger said after watching Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott turn the game on its head.
"I'm like somebody who flies a plane for 30 years and I have to accept that somebody can come into the cockpit and thinks he can fly the plane better than I do.
"But that's part of our job and we have to accept that.
"I just would like to say that the club is in overall a very strong position because tonight, for 15 years on the trot, we play in the Champions League.
"We have a new stadium and a fantastic training ground, a very good financial situation and a very strong team."
