Petr Cech (below) says he can understand why Arsenal fans turned on their team during their 0-3 defeat to Manchester City. The Emirates Stadium was half-empty for the game and the fans that did turn up in freezing conditions were quick to show their frustration at Wenger and his players. A section of the crowd chanted 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' as the players traipsed off at half-time. Gunners 'keeper Cech said: "I understand the frustration of the fans. You come and want your team to do well, and when you are 3-0 down at half-time, you're not happy. Everyone has an opportunity to make their feelings known. For football fans, it's their way of showing it."
