Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists the boo-boys won't drive him out.
Wenger maintains the constant criticism from some sections of Arsenal support is not wearing him down.
"No, not at all. We have to cope with that. We are professional footballers. What is important is the next game and the desire to do it," said Wenger, who ended a nine-season trophy drought with victory in the 2014 FA Cup final.
"I am a competitive person. What is important is the next game and responding in a strong way, to play to win the game.
"It is part of our job here, you cannot always look for excuses. We are down. Everyone feels it.
"When you have a disappointment you respond in a strong way, that is what competition is about.
"You cannot as well say there is a guarantee to anybody you will never lose a game. Many teams will lose at Stoke, you have to be realistic as well."
