Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has slammed Birmingham's fans for chants which he describes as 'atrocious'. Blues fans sang 'There is only one Martin Taylor' after Liam Ridgewell had slid in hard on Theo Walcott during Saturday's game at Emirates Stadium. The chants were in reference to Taylor's infamous challenge on Eduardo some 20 months ago, which broke the Croat's leg. And Wenger was left seething with the reaction of the Birmingham fans. "I was disappointed with the chants, it was frankly atrocious," said. "They will not be remembered for the quality of their taste with that kind of remark. "I didn't say a word, I just thought 'That's low'. "Eduardo was here. I don't know how he felt about the chants. I just put that in the ranks of stupidity - you want to forget it because there's not a lot to say." Blues boss Alex McLeish insisted he did not hear the chanting. "I never heard it," stated McLeish. "I'm not going to discuss it. "We don't condone that kind of thing. Our fans gave us great away support but I wasn't aware of the songs."
