A defiant Arsène Wenger rounded on his critics after another shaky performance from his Arsenal side brought a 3-1 win over Shrewsbury Town in the Carling Cup third round. The Frenchman brushed off speculation regarding his position hours after the club's chief executive, Ivan Gazidis, said the manager had the "total support" of the board and promised to make significant funds available in January's transfer window.
Questions have been raised over Wenger's future following Arsenal's worst start to a league campaign in more than half a century. They were shambolic in losing 8-2 at Manchester United and endured a 4-3 defeat at Blackburn Rovers last Saturday. Many fans have queried Wenger's transfer policy and his tactical acumen and wondered whether it is time to replace the manager.
Asked whether the speculation was unfair given his record Wenger said: "My record? I have just managed 14 years at this club [actually 15] and I have kept them 14 years in the Champions League and I wish it lasts another 14 years."
Wenger has ruled out bringing in a senior former defender such as Tony Adams or Martin Keown to shore up the defence. He bluntly dismissed the need after his much-changed team, who did not convince defensively throughout, had come from a goal down to beat their League Two opponents: "I've just completed 32 years of coaching – I don't want to answer this kind of question."
Gazidis had been just as straightforward in spelling out that there is no prospect of the manager leaving any time soon. He declared that the board remains adamant Wenger is the best person to drive the club forward and said it would be "completely misguided" to think otherwise.
"There is absolutely no issue about Arsène leaving the club or the club pushing him out – that is a non-story," said Gazidis. "It's not a sentimental decision, it's what we think is right for the club. We've got the manager who has done the thing that's most difficult in the game, which is to deliver success consistently over time.
"If we step back and look with some perspective at what Arsène and the club have achieved together, we see that this has been a journey in which the club has transformed itself, not just in terms of the stadium and its financial strength, but also in terms of the way in which it is perceived around the world because of the type of football we play. You don't throw something like that away easily, or if you do, you're a fool."
Gazidis defended the club's handling of the sales of Cesc Fábregas and Samir Nasri in the final days of the transfer window, admitting that "ideally those situations would have been resolved earlier" but it was not possible. He said the subsequent purchases of Mikel Arteta, Yossi Benayoun and Per Mertesacker did not mean the club were abandoning their policy of prioritising young players and he hinted that there could be further major signings in the next two transfer windows.
"We deliberately kept some powder dry [in the summer] … there are funds available to invest in a significant way in January and next summer. But we're not just going to spend money because we're under short-term pressure."
When it was put to Wenger that it was unprecedented for him to receive a vote of confidence he said: "Whether I work here for the next ten years for the club or the next day I will give my maximum for the club let others assess the situation. I focus on doing well for the club. And I must tell you something: I'm not bothered at all by all this speculation – at all.
"I am completely focused on doing well. I can understand that people are unhappy and criticise but you know as well as I know people are very quick to go overboard.
"I accept critics and I do not say it doesn't matter that people criticise us. I prefer it like anybody else when they say I am good. But you cannot complain when you lose a game and you are criticised.
"When we do well we take all the plaudits so we have to take as well all the blame when it doesn't go as well. But we have as well on both sides take some distance. When it goes well we must not completely believe what people say and when it does not go as well, we must not completely believe it."

Eyebeam is pleased to host Open Studios for its 2009 Senior Fellows, Resident Artists, and Student Residents at Eyebeam’s state-of-the-art design, research, and fabrication studio; showcasing video performance, wearable technologies, code and humor, party technology, and sustainablity design.
///////////////
Eyebeam is the leading not-for-profit art and technology center in the United States.
Founded in 1996 and incorporated in 1997, Eyebeam was conceived as a non-profit art and technology center dedicated to exposing broad and diverse audiences to new technologies and media arts, while simultaneously establishing and demonstrating new media as a significant genre of cultural production.
Since then, Eyebeam has supported more than 130 fellowships and residencies for artists and creative technologists; we've run an active education program for youth, artists' professional development and community outreach; and have mounted an extensive series of public programs, over recent years approximately 4 exhibitions and 40 workshops, performances and events annually.
Today, Eyebeam offers residencies and fellowships for artists and technologists working in a wide range of media. At any given time, there are up to 20 resident artists and fellows onsite at Eyebeam's 15,000-square foot Chelsea offices and Labs, developing new projects and creating work for open dissemination through online, primarily open-source, publication as well as a robust calendar of public programming that includes free exhibitions, lectures and panels, participatory workshops, live performances and educational series.

One of the unending qualities of the human being is the obsession with making lists. We care passionately about the rank our sports teams achieve, even if it means nothing. We chatter about magazine power lists as if they have an impact on reality.
The writer Nick Hornby even elevated the top 10 list to an almost religious level in his book High Fidelity, which essentially chronicles a middle-aged man’s internal struggle between his drive to make lists and his desire to make love.
Now British startup Top10.com hopes it can harness our nerdiest tendencies for fun and profit with a list-making service that has just gone live.
“We think when people are trying to discover and find new products, they want to see what other people have recommended,” said co-founder Tom Leathes when I spoke to him earlier. “Top tens are already ingrained in popular culture, so we’re starting with lists of things people are passionate about.”
The site has a simple premise: Users organize things into lists, which are then made public and shared with other users. Here, for example, is my list of top 10 pizza toppings and my top 10 technology blogs.
If enough users create lists that are similar to each other, the site can aggregated the rankings and provide a top 10 across all users. In the future, it plans to add filters so that users can see (for example) what their friends’ top songs are right now, or what other people in their city think are the best restaurants. It’s effectively taking the model used by review sites and loading it up with a heavy dose of human psychology.
Overall, it’s simple and intuitive, and pretty fun — for a while at least. The way you construct lists on the fly, adding images and text, reminds me a bit of Nextstop, a travel website that was bought by Facebook last year.
Fun is only part of it, though. Leathes doesn’t shy away from what his real objective is: to profit from recommending products to people.
“We want it to be about social recommendations,” he explained. “People love to talk about music, films, restaurants and so on. The challenging thing is that we want to monetize it in a way that’s seamless — so that it’s an end-to-end thing where you can recommend something, discover something and then go and buy it.”
The founding team — including Leathes and his co-founders Harry Jones and Alex Buttle — already have a good track record, building and selling three startups in the last few years. Their last, a broadband comparison site (also called Top10, they clearly kept the name as part of the deal), hit more than $ 10 million in revenues before it was sold to larger rival uSwitch earlier this year.
But while they have lots of experience as a team building web services, Top10 is their first foray into the social arena. So can it work?
Leathes admitted to me that the team deliberately reached out to investors with a good track record in the social web so that they could get help where they needed it. Those include Accel, Founder Collective and Bill Gross’s IdeaLab, who collectively saw fit to give the company a $ 3.5 million series A round.
So can they do it? The site certainly has a neat gimmick to draw people in, but until we see how many people sign up it’s too early to say.
The real problem may be that Top10?s success lies outside of its control.
The truth is that the social recommendations business is turning into a very crowded market. You have companies in all sorts of areas — generalists like Hunch and specialists such as GetGlue. And then there are trendy new startups like Berlin’s Amen, which has a different spin on list-making — you simply praise what you love or hate — but does it for much the same reason.
As if that wasn’t enough, beyond all of these startups there is also another little site that’s proven very successful at mining sentiment data for advertisers and retailers. You may have heard of it.
In fact, Facebook’s ability to gather data from its gazillion users and push new features out en masse could prove the biggest threat to any company trying to claw some market share in this space. Numbers released today by e-commerce site The Find suggest that the “Like” button — which reports suggest is set to expand in scope this week — is a powerful tool for making retailers more successful.
If the numbers are true, then the danger for all these social recommendation sites must be straightforward: Facebook could flip the switch and take out huge segment of the social recommendation business with a single, well-targeted strike.
