Following Sundays shock home defeat to Watford that knocked the Gunners out of the FA Cup quarter-finals, a section of the clubs supporters have called for the Frenchman to go.Sky Sports football expert and ex-Arsenal striker Alan Smith also believes the club should review Wengers position at the end of the season should they fail to make-up the 11-point gap on Premier League-leaders Leicester and miss out on the title, with nine games left to play. Can Arsenal salvage season? Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith surveys the scene at the Emirates But, ahead of their Champions League last-16 second-leg in Barcelona, Wenger staunchly defended his record under difficult financial circumstances since he joined the club in 1996.He said: I built the club with hard work, without any external resources and, if you compare where we are today to when I arrived, we have moved forward and without any money from anybody, just the money we produced from the work.The problem when youre a long time somewhere [is that] you are questioned about your dedication, but I dont question my dedication at all and I give more time to my club now than when I arrived. Some Arsenal fans have been campaigning to get rid of Wenger I have no doubts about my huge motivation. I am even more motivated from the first day I arrived and feel the pressure and the responsibility to keep moving this club forward more now.I am honest enough to make sure that I give my best. Im not too much of an image person, I just want to think I give my best for this club and Im determined to do that. Honest dedication and total commitment is the most important thing.Asked whether he was affected by recent fan criticism, Wenger said: I dont want to go into that discussion because it can be interpreted both ways.Arsenal face a huge task at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, attempting to overcome a 2-0 first-leg deficit against the reigning European and Spanish champions. Wengers side are 11 points behind Premier League leaders Leicester But, after a run of one win in seven matches in all competitions, Wenger believes a remarkable result in Catalonia can kick-start their dwindling Premier League campaign for the last remaining games.We have gone through a disappointing spell recently, with our results, but its important to stay calm and strong, he said.I have played 200 Champions League games. We have won everywhere in Europe but not here yet. So we have the chance to achieve that tomorrow.Im convinced that the players have decided and are united to give a strong response tomorrow and Im convinced that a great result tomorrow would be a big boost for the rest of the season.

PHILADELPHIA -- The cheers started when Tony Gwynn Jr. walked to the batters box, grew louder when he was introduced as a pinch-hitter and turned into a standing ovation when catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia went to the mound. On a night when the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 7-4, the fans reaction to Gwynn trumped the scoreboard. Gwynn grounded out in the eighth inning Tuesday night in his first at-bat since his father, Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, died last week. Though hes batting just .153 in his first season in Philadelphia, fans showed the younger Gwynn some love. "Thats why guys who play here like to play here," Gwynn said. "When things are going well, or regardless of whether theyre going bad or good, I think the fans stay behind us. Much appreciated by the Gwynn family." Saltalamacchia prolonged the ovation by purposely going to the mound, a move Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg called "classy." "I dont know what it must be like to lose a father, especially a guy who brought so much to this game," Saltalamacchia said. Marlon Byrd hit a two-run homer and David Buchanan threw five effective innings to help the Phillies snap a three-game losing streak. Buchanan (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits. The rookie right-hander struck out Marcell Ozuna on a 3-2 changeup with two runners on and two outs in the fifth, preserving a 4-2 lead. He pumped his fist and shouted as he walked off the mound. "I was pumped getting through that inning and not letting it escalate," Buchanan said. Miamis Garrett Jones hit a two-run homer off B.J. Rosenberg in the eighth. Jonathan Papelbon tossed a scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 20 tries. Andrew Heaney (0-2) gave up five runs and four hits in five-plus innings in his second career start for the Marlins. After being shut out Monday for the 10th time this season and seventh time in their last 25 home games, the Phillies jumped ahead 3-0 in the first inning. Jimmy Rollins was hit by a pitch leading off and Chase Utley walked one out later. On a double steal, Saltalamacchias throw tto third bounced away for an error and Rollins scored to snap the teams 21-inning scoreless streak at Citizens Bank Park, dating to June 15.dddddddddddd After Ryan Howard struck out, Byrd hit a 419-foot shot out to left-centre to make it 3-0. "Hes a strong guy and he works very hard," Sandberg said. "Byrdie is one of the first at the ballpark and he prepares. He loves to hit and hes strong. He stays in great shape and he keeps his power stroke. Hes a threat every time he comes up." Cody Asche lined a two-run double in the sixth and scored on Bryan Morris wild pitch for a 7-2 lead. Rollins had two steals to move into a tie with Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty for second place on the clubs career list with 438. Rollins finished 2 for 2 and also walked. It was his first multi-hit game since May 30, even though hes hit safely in 20 of his last 22 games, including a 15-game hitting streak. The Marlins got a run in the second when Utley dropped Ed Lucas infield fly with the bases loaded, allowing Saltalamacchia to score from third. Utley dropped another pop-up in the eighth, but it turned into a fielders choice. Ben Revere hit a triple and scored on a wild pitch to give the Phillies a 4-1 lead in the second. After Giancarlo Stantons second double of the game put runners on second and third in the fifth, Casey McGehees sacrifice fly cut it to 4-2.
