Wenger: Backs Arsenal to last the distance this season

Arsene Wenger thinks they can and that’s good enough for our man Matt Briggs. Listening to Wenger’s lexicon this week #Arsenal fans might be forgiven in thinking this is going to be their year in the Premier League. The #Gunners chief has recently been bold in his analysis of the season so far, which sees Arsenal sitting in second spot – level on points with leaders #MCFC #ManCity with 10 games gone.

 It’s certainly not their best start since they last won the #PremierLeague #BPL in 2003/4 but it’s definitely raised the fans’ hopes. In fact only three times since their last title win have they bettered their current tally of 22 points from their first 10 games.Last week #Wenger said: We have strengthened our belief with our run last season, from January 1 – you could feel there was really a change in our stability.
