Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has said that last season's home lost to Swansea killed Arsenal's title hopes and led to a "virus" of negativity among fans.
The 2-1 loss in March, which followed a 3-2 defeat at Manchester United, left Arsenal six points down from the champions Leicester city.
The gunners will face Swansea this Saturday at Emirates Stadium.
"I must say that the negativity comes very quickly," said the Frenchman, 66.
"It is a virus that travels very quickly and goes away very slowly."
Thierry Henry, the Arsenal's record goalscorer, said he had never seen the club's fans as angry as during the defeat by Swansea.
Arsenal are third in the Premier League table 2points behind leaders Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger: "I believe at the moment the vibes are positive,"
"We have reduced distance with the top teams. We have to continue to get to the next level.
"Fans are part of our game and they have the right to be happy, not to be happy. My job is to focus on my job and trying to make them happy."
