Arsene Wenger Says Arsenal Has the Strength and Character to See Them Through

It’s Easter tomorrow, and I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t notice since it’s ‘Grand Slam Sunday’ as well on the day after today. The first of the two mammoth games sees Liverpool travel to Old Trafford, while we take on Chelski at Stamford Bridge.

A lot of intense, high pressure, nail biting stuff in prospect till May and Le Boss calls the last eight games the ‘final sprint’. Arsene also feels we have been the most consistent side all season so far and said-

"I feel that since the beginning of the season we have been the most consistent team,We have lost just one game, and that was under very special circumstances, so that consistency will come out for good at the end of the season.”

"If we win our big games and if we continue to be consistent then I am sure we will finish in front of the other sides .I cannot imagine we will lose the league if we have lost only one game at the end of the season."

"We have got the strength of character to win the title, believe me. That is my firm belief and at the game on Sunday you will see.”

"There's always a first time and until you win people have doubts about you, they're questioning you - but the strong ones keep going."

Those are strong words from a manager who has recently seen his team reach such dizzying heights at Milan, while drastically underperforming in comparison in the Premiership. While my faith in the team has taken a knock or two, it is definitely heartening and encouraging for the man at the helm to keep the faith and instill belief into a team that is a bit short of it at the moment.

Gunner legend, Thierry Henry who says that he still loves his former North London club and is still in touch with some of his mates at Arsenal believes that we are a good bet to the title-

“I have this feeling Arsenal will win the Premier League. They are playing well against the big four and I do think they play the most attractive football, though Manchester United have also played some good stuff.

“So far, Arsenal have lost only one game and, if they remain unbeaten from now on, it would be very unusual not to win the title. “Obviously, I love Arsenal. But that’s not the reason why I think they will win the title. I just feel they have the quality.”

A nice touch from a former player who has given us so many good memories over the years, cheers Titi!

The Hleb-Inter issue update it is now with Arsene commenting on the quality of ice cream that is available in Italy , and also adding his how incensed he was over the whole 'meeting'-

“I was concerned and I didn't like that it happened,If the agent came to the team hotel then he should have asked me for permission to see the players. You cannot just see the players like that."When asked if the meeting was worthy of concern, Wenger replied: "All the rest we will keep secret.”

"But Italy is well known for having good ice cream!"

Arsene had a bit to say about Cashleys challenge on Alan Hutton against Totscum in midweek. Arsene said that Cashley was not a ‘dirty player’. Again what a display of class from Le Prof again…after all that we’ve been put through by money hungry twerp

From players who have left us on to players that we are hoping won’t leave, Arsene said that he is not looking for replacements for Mathieu Flamini and speaking about contract signing and such , he said-“We are on course there, negotiations are going well and we hope to sort that out in April." We’ve been on about it for a fair bit now with little or no progress, but the final result of the negotiation doesn’t change much. The sooner we see the Flamster put pen to paper the better.

It is going to be quite a day tomorrow. Though the results tomorrow will have a large bearing on the final destination of the title, the title will be far from sewn up come Sunday. But would we love to see the Manky Shite bite the dust, while we come away from the Bridge after laying low the Blues?? Oh yeah we would!!

Our game kicks off at 16.00 UK time and that’s 21.30 India time, while the game at Old Trafford is at 13.30 UK time and 19.00 India time, both games are on ESPN in the Asia region.

More on this tomorrow!
Ciao!
