Arsenal can’t let protests distract us with season on line – Arteta

Arteta has never told fans not to protest, but instead asked that they express themselves the right way and in an ideal world that would manifest itself with supporters cheering the Arsenal coach into the Emirates tonight.
Those were the scenes at Chelsea last night, before they beat Real Madrid to book at place in the Champions League final, and Arteta is hoping for the same.
“I think that would be great,” he said. “We’ve been missing them so much, we need them. We need them and for the players and the team to feel that they are right behind them supporting them.
“I think it is the 10th time the club has played a European semi-final, so it’s a big moment for us so hopefully we can have them closer than we have already in the last few months.”
