Just Arsenal News

Arsene Wenger saw his Arsenal team move even closer to the top of the Premiership with the 3-0 win over Aston Villa, and he believes that Arsenal can go all the way if they keep up their consistency against the smaller teams.

“It makes it interesting now.” he said. We are in a strong position. We can have belief but it’s a long way to go and we have to keep our feet on the ground and continue to improve together.

“I could say we would win the games but you couldn’t predict that our opponents would drop the points.

“After the Chelsea game I said openly that Chelsea would drop points on the basis of what I had seen. And they did. But how many they would drop I didn’t know.

“I just think the Premier League is very open. We go to Portsmouth on Wednesday and you know it will be another tough game.

“What has changed in the league this season is that all the teams can make results. You have seen Birmingham against Chelsea. It is like that anywhere. You go anywhere it’s not that you go there, turn up and take three points. That has gone. It has gone – until March.

“After that some teams will be safe, or will not go for Europe and you take some easier points. But from now until March in this championship the consistent team will get it.”

And Arsenal are certainly the most consistent team at the moment, despite all the injuries.
