Arsenal have proven they are title challengers

Despite what can only be described as a disappointing start to the season, Arsenal seem to have really turned things around and once again look like a side who are in with a chance of winning the Premier League title.

Since the closure of the transfer window, Wenger’s men look a lot more stable and have promised much more consistency with their performances. Now it is fair to say that the Gunners are back on track, and Wenger himself agrees.


After six wins from their last seven games in all competitions, Wenger has praised how well his side has reacted after the dismal loss to Liverpool at the end of August.

“We got what we wanted and just before the break,” Wenger said. “Our last international break was a nightmare but this is one is a bit better.”

“Yes, I would have loved to be able to continue to play but we cannot do anything about that. Let’s hope the players come back in a good shape. I knew that after the game at Liverpool everybody did write us off. It just depends on us how much we respond.”

“Nothing is permanent. You’re not bad in a permanent way, if you can do something about it. You’re not good in a permanent way, if you don’t keep your urgency. We responded in a united way and we put some wins together and some good performances as well.”

“It’s too early. Seven games played, 31 to go,” he said. “Last year, after six games, Man City were top with 18 points. Let’s not go to quick conclusions. [City] played outstanding yesterday [in their 1-0 win at Chelsea], but it’s a long way to go.”
