Daily Mirror journalist, John Cross, believes Arsenal fans will get behind Arsene Wenger during the Gunners' Champions League last-16 first leg tie against Bayern Munich.

The Frenchman reacted angrily on Monday to reports the north London club is ready to offer him a contract extension, and turned on journalists in a feisty exchange.

Daily Mail journalist Neil Ashton claimed on Monday that the 63-year-old's time in north London is coming to an end.

But Cross claims Arsenal fans will show their support of the former Nagoya Grampus Eight chief before the crunch tie with the German giants, and that could convince him to stay.
