Despite rumours to the contrary, there is life in Arsenal�s Premier League season.
Defeats to Manchester United and Chelsea in eight days left Ars�ne Wenger�s side playing catch-up before a crucial game with in-form Liverpool this evening.
While never at their best, a resilient Arsenal rolled up their sleeves and responded with a rejuvenating win.

The only goal came 18 minutes from time whenTomas Rosicky�s inviting cross was RSVP�d byAbou Diaby�s header at the far post.
By way of celebration, half the Arsenal side piled on top of the Frenchman.
It was relief to the power of 10.
This was Wenger�s 300th Premier League win and the 450th of his Arsenal career. But the only stat to manager cares less about is the distance between his team and top spot.
Chelsea�s defeat at Everton and Manchester United�s draw at Aston Villa mean that gap is down to six points. Meanwhile Arsenal have now opened an eight-point divide between themselves and Liverpool in fourth.

This result can not make up for the disappointments of the past two Sundays but it does suggest Wenger�s optimism has credence.
It seems we have a three-horse title race once again.
Wenger made a couple of changes from the side beaten at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Bendtner started his first game since limping off against Tottenham on October 31. The Dane was the focal point of the attack so Andrey Arshavindropped to the left flank. Meanwhile Emmanuel Eboue was back in the starting XI for the first time since December 19. The Ivorian had come off the bench in the defeats against Manchester United and Chelsea. Before that, he had been in Ghana for the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result of those inclusions, Theo Walcott and Bacary Sagnadropped to the bench.
In the early stages, the atmosphere off the pitch was indicative of results on it. The travelling fans were in full voice, the home supporters were relatively muted. Arsenal�s season had been shaken by those two successive defeats while Liverpool were unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games.
Neither side could afford defeat and that anxiety affected the opening quarter.
The opening minutes were lively enough however with the two sides exchanging half-chances from right wing free-kicks. First Steven Gerrard�s ball ricocheted off Bacary Sagna and Manuel Almunia had to make a flying interception then, at the other end, William Gallas nodded over from a fine delivery fromCesc Fabregas.

After that the game fell into a malaise. Arsenal had enough of the ball but perhaps there was a nagging fear of conceding on the break as they had against Chelsea and Manchester United. Certainly they were more reticent to go forward.
The chance that broke down the mental barrier came in the 20th minute. The stumbling Arshavin sent Bendtner clear on the right of the area. The Dane had a glimpse of goal but slashed his shot over the bar. Soon afterwards Nasri saw a goal-bound effort charged down for Pepe Reina flapped at a cross and Arshavin blazed over.
At the other end, Maxi Rodriguez latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the area and cracked his effort high.
The flurry of chances did not last. It did not help that Wenger was forced to make a change just after the half-hour. Nasri had gone to ground for no reason early on and immediately Rosicky was sent out to warm up. Eventually the French midfielder acceded to his injury.
To be honest, that was about it for the opening half. Arsenal were far from fluent and, on a freezing North London night, the first 45 minutes never got above lukewarm.
However the opening seconds of the second period would promise much more. In fact the first 15 minutes were pretty much end-to-end.

Arshavin reached the byline early on but blasted his shot high into the sidenetting. Lucas Leiva nearly found an immediate response however his fierce shot flew inches over the bar.
The chances were starting to come now yet nerves still seemed to be affecting both sides this evening. David N�gog raced clear on to Gerrard�s chip through. The Frenchman had a yard on Clichy and Gallas but the latter produced a wonderfully-timed challenge to slid the ball away at the crucial moment. Such interventions are fast becoming a trademark this season for Gallas.
Seconds later, Rosicky went clear on the left for an instant but his touch was too heavy and, just before the hour, the galloping Bendtner tried to steer home a shot only for Reina to block with his legs.
All of a sudden it seemed a game of football seemed to have broken out.
Bendtner went down under Daniel Agger�s challenge but referee Howard Webb booked the Dane for simulation. A couple of minutes later the striker laid the ball back for Rosicky to crack a drive inches over the bar.
This game was now an entirely different animal. The tension of the first half remained but invention had been added. Neither side were functioning at their best but Arsenal had the edge.
Walcott substituted Arshavin with 23 minutes left. Wenger had now replaced two of his front men and the only one remaining who was struggling for fitness.
It seemed that Bendtner would have to soldier on this evening.
And he did.

In the 72nd minute, the 22-year-old found himself surrounded and under pressure in the area but retained the presence of mind to feed a clever ball to Rosicky on the right. The Czech midfielder had time to pick his target. His chose Diaby at the far post. The Frenchman eluded his marker to power home a header. It was his seventh goal of the season and undoubtedly the most important.
In the wake of the goal, Liverpool finally threw off their shackles. They piled forward but there were only two heart-in-mouth moments before injury time � when Gerrard went down in the box and when substitute Ryan Babel slipped his marker before firing goalwards from 25 yards.
It was a dipping, swerving, curling effort but Almunia touched it on to the bar. A pivotal save.
The second half had been dramatic enough but there was one more twist.

In the dying embers of injury time Gerrard somehow won at free-kick five yards outside the area. Fabregas was booked for protesting the decision and then the Englishman�s effort hit the Spaniard�s outstretched hand as he jumped in the wall.
Liverpool complained when the whistle blew seconds later but no one could dispute the character of this victory tonight.

Arsenal mula 'bernyawa'

DIABY (bawah, tengah) diraikan rakan-rakan sepasukannya selepas menjaringkan gol tunggal Arsenal semalam.

LONDON - Arsenal kembali dalam perebutan kejuaraan Liga Perdana England setelah mencatat kemenangan 1-0 ke atas Liverpool di Stadium Emirates awal pagi semalam.

Kemenangan itu menjadikan Arsenal kini hanya ketinggalan enam mata berbanding pendahulu, Chelsea.
Melihatkan kejayaan bermakna anak-anak buahnya, pengurus Arse- nal, Arsene Wenger bingkas menyatakan yang skuad The Gunners masih mampu muncul sebagai juara liga musim ini.

"Ia malam yang cukup hebat buat kelab ini. Mengapa kami tidak boleh memenangi kejuaraan liga?
"Saya telah katakan yang kami akan berjuang sehingga detik penghujung musim ini dan kami telah me- nunjukkannya pada perlawanan ini," kata Wenger.
Pada aksi semalam, tandukan Abou Diaby pada minit ke-72 sudah cukup untuk membolehkan Arsenal mengatasi musuh ketatnya itu.

Kemenangan itu turut memberikan suntikan moral kepada para pemain Arsenal setelah mereka tewas kepada Chelsea, Ahad lalu dan Manchester United pada minggu sebelum itu.
"Tiada siapa pun menyedari betapa sukarnya kami berdepan United, Chelsea dan Liverpool secara berterusan tanpa mempunyai masa untuk memulihkan pasukan.
"Jadi untuk kembali ceria selepas kekecewaan Ahad lalu dan merapat- kan semula enam mata dengan Chelsea adalah sesuatu yang baik buat kami," jelas Wenger.

Sambil United, Chelsea dan Liver- pool bakal bertemu sesama sendiri selepas ini, Arsenal pula bakal mengharungi tujuh perlawanan yang dianggap cukup mudah untuk dimena- ngi mereka.
Sementara itu, pengurus Liverpool, Rafael Benitez menyalahkan pengadil, Howard Webb sebagai punca kekalahan pasukannya.
Benitez mendakwa Webb sengaja tidak mahu memberikan sepakan penalti setelah bola terkena tangan kapten Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas keti- ka Steven Gerrard mengambil sepa- kan percuma pada minit-minit terakhir perlawanan.

"Bola jelas terkena tangan Fabre- gas dan sepatutnya penalti diberikan. Tetapi saya tidak tahu kenapa pengadil tidak memberikan kami sepakan penalti," kata Benitez lagi. - Agensi

Arsenal bangkit

2010/02/12

LONDON: Arsene Wenger (gambar) percaya cabaran Arsenal untuk menjuarai Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL) musim ini kembali cerah selepas pasukannya berjaya merapatkan jurang kepada enam mata dengan pendahulu, Chelsea apabila mencatat kemenangan 1-0 ke atas Liverpool.Kelab Gunners itu dianggap sudah terkeluar daripada saingan merebut gelaran EPL musim ini selepas tewas 2-0 di Stamford Bridge, Ahad lalu dan kekalahan itu hadir selepas mereka tumbang di tangan Manchester United.

Tetapi Wenger gembira dengan kebangkitan anak buahnya, sekali gus menamatkan kemarau kemenangan yang sudah menjangkau tiga perlawanan dan mereka berterima kasih kepada tandukan Abou Diaby pada minit ke-72 di Stadium Emirates, awal pagi semalam.

Jaringan Diaby itu hadir tepat pada masanya iaitu ketika Chelsea pula tewas di Everton manakala United sekadar seri di Aston Villa.

Perlawanan Arsenal selepas ini pula tidak begitu perit seperti lawan lain apabila hanya perlu berdepan dua daripada tujuh pasukan teratas - City dan Spurs - dalam baki 12 perlawanan selepas ini, sekali gus memberikan harapan buat Arsenal.

"Tiada siapa sedar bahawa bukanlah mudah untuk kami menentang United, Chelsea dan Liverpool secara berturut-turut, terutama selepas kami tewas dua perlawanan. Kemenangan ini membuktikan pasukan kami memang mantap," kata Wenger.

"Kami perlu konsisten dan cuba memenangi semua baki perlawanan selepas ini. Saya percaya kami akan melawan hingga hujung musim. Kami sudah melakukannya ketika menentang Liverpool. Itulah yang akan kami lakukan.

"Kami tetap percaya dengan peluang kami. Anda boleh melihat bahawa Chelsea tewas sekali lagi dan United pula tercicir mata. Justeru, ia tetap terbuka kepada semua.

"Saya tidak nampak mengapa kami harus menyerah kalah. Ketika ini, adalah penting untuk kami menumpukan perhatian kepada perlawanan berikutnya." - AFP

Arsenal tekad bangkit

Tebus kesilapan sendiri kalah kepada FC Porto Rabu lalu

LONDON: Skuad Arsenal bimbingan Arsene Wenger akan berdepan Sunderland dalam saingan Liga Perdana Inggeris hari ini dengan harapan dapat bangkit daripada kesilapan sendiri ketika berdepan FC Porto yang menyebabkan laluan mereka semakin samar dalam kempen Liga Juara-Juara.

Pertahanan goyah khususnya daripada penjaga gol, Lukasz Fabianski menyebabkan mereka tewas 2-1 kepada FC Porto, sekali gus meletakkan The Gunners dalam kedudukan sukar untuk perlawanan timbal balik di Stadium Emirates nanti.

Bagaimanapun, semua itu terpaksa diketepikan seketika apabila Arsenal mencari peluang mengukuhkan cabaran mereka dalam Liga Perdana apabila menanti kunjungan Sunderland.

Tewas berturut-turut kepada Chelsea dan Manchester United seakan mengakhiri cabaran mereka tetapi kemenangan ke atas Liverpool, dibantu kekalahan Chelsea di Everton dan United pula seri dengan Aston Villa, berjaya mengecilkan jurang mata di antara tiga kelab teratas itu di mana The Gunners hanya enam mata daripada puncak liga.

Namun peluang Arsenal bergantung kepada kemampuan mereka mengelakkan tercicir mata di tangan pasukan bukan ternama, sekali gus memberikan tekanan tambahan menjelang pertemuan dengan Sunderland yang dibimbing Steve Bruce.Kekalahan di Porto boleh dikaitkan dengan ketiadaan lima tonggak termasuk penjaga gol utama, Manuel Almunia, sehingga memberi laluan kepada Fabianski.

Almunia mungkin diturunkan semula ketika berdepan Sunderland, begitu juga Alex Song, manakala pemain tengah, Abou Diaby terpaksa berehat akibat kecederaan lutut yang dialami di Portugal.

�Kami sudah kehilangan Abou Diaby,� kata Wenger. �Namun Song mungkin dapat diturunkan tapi bergantung kepada ujian kecergasannya.� - AFP

F�bregas confident Arsenal can make amends

PUBLISHED: THURSDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2010, 8.57CET
Arsenal FC captain Cesc F�bregas bemoaned his side's defensive lapses but believes they can still "fight their way back" into the first knockout round tie after losing the first leg 2-1 at FC Porto.

Arsenal The Gunners - Page 17 1450207_w2

Cesc F�bregas may be dismayed by the defensive lapses that consigned Arsenal FC to a 2-1 loss at FC Porto, but the Gunners captain remains "confident" he and his team-mates will finish the first knockout round tie celebrating a UEFA Champions League quarter-final berth.
The manner of their defeat on Wednesday dominated the post-match debates and it was easy to understand why. Neither side looked particularly potent at the Est�dio do Drag�o, yet the more costly errors belonged to the visitors, who capped a shaky opening when stand-in goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański helped Silvestre Varela's cross into his own net. The Polish custodian was involved in Porto's winner as well, gathering a back pass from Sol Campbell and conceding an indirect free-kick from which the quick-thinking Falcao was able to score.
In between those strikes, Campbell headed in a leveller which could yet prove crucial when the teams reconvene in the English capital on 9 March � even if it recalled his contribution to a losing cause in his previous UEFA Champions League outing, the 2006 final against FC Barcelona.

F�bregas, 22, certainly believes the decisive moments in this contest will come from Ars�ne Wenger's men. "It's true we weren't able to win and it's going to be hard for us in the second leg, but I'm still confident we'll prevail in the end," he said. "The return match is going to be difficult for both teams. We'll just have to see who's strongest on the night."
History would appear to favour the Premier League club, given that Porto have lost 11 of their 13 trips to England, drawing the other two. Both their away meetings with Arsenal have ended unhappily too, with their most recent sortie in London producing a comfortable 4-0 triumph for the hosts in September 2008.
F�bregas nonetheless expressed concern about his side's fragility at the back, urging his colleagues not to repeat the same mistakes in the second leg. "We knew Porto had a very quick and talented team, but the truth is we allowed them to score two very easy goals," explained the Spanish international. "You just can't let that happen at this level. Now we're 2-1 down and we're going to have to fight our way back."

Alert Falcao earns Porto advantage

FC Porto 2-1 Arsenal FC
Falcao's opportunist strike gave Porto the edge in the tie after Sol Campbell had headed an equaliser.

Sol Campbell enjoyed a goalscoring return to the UEFA Champions League, but Silvestre Varela and Falcao also found the target as FC Porto ended their unhappy recent home form against English clubs, leaving Arsenal FC needing a second-leg win to reach the quarter-finals.
Tentative from the off, the Gunners faced a test of nerve after falling behind in the opening stages due to a mistake by stand-in goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański. They quickly put their disappointment behind them thanks to veteran defender Campbell, making his first appearance at this level since scoring for Arsenal in the 2006 final. But like in Paris, Arsenal were to lose 2-1 as the opportunist Falcao stroked in the winner six minutes after the restart and the Portuguese champions will look to press home their slender advantage in London on 9 March.
Arsenal have had a recent tendency for early defensive slips and an under-hit back pass from Denilson allowed Porto to pour forward. It took a superb tackle from Campbell on Falcao, followed by Thomas Vermaelen's block from R�ben Micael, to spare the visitors the worst of starts. A fierce Hulk drive that skimmed past Fabiański's post kept the pressure on the Gunners, who cracked with just 11 minutes gone as Fabiański fumbled Varela's low centre over his own goal line.
Ars�ne Wenger appeared unimpressed in the Arsenal dugout, but his charges responded with character. Nicklas Bendtner speared a deflected effort wide and then a moment that belonged in a script as Campbell headed in from a set piece, just as he had at the Stade de France against FC Barcelona. Cesc F�bregas supplied the corner, Tom� Rosick� nodded the ball back across goal from Vermaelen's flick and the oldest player on the pitch altered the momentum of the tie.
Rosick� came close to swinging it even more emphatically in Arsenal's favour with a whipped shot turned wide by Helton, before R�ben Micael tested Fabiański with similar results. Porto coach Jesualdo Ferreira had predicted an open match and he was being proved correct, as Bendtner became the next player to threaten with a header that Helton did well to palm over.
It was Porto who broke through after the break, though, Fabiański penalised for picking up a Campbell back pass and Falcao finishing from R�ben Micael's quickly taken free-kick. Fabiański saved Wenger's men from falling further behind with impressive stops from Hulk and Raul Meireles, yet conceding for a second time had clearly sapped their morale and they were in danger of wilting as an attacking force.
Theo Walcott was sent on to reverse that trend, Rosick� making way, however it was from dead-ball situations that the Premier League outfit looked most likely to respond. Ultimately, even that route to goal proved fruitless.

Campbell completes Arsenal return

PUBLISHED: SATURDAY, 16 JANUARY 2010, 20:00

"Experience" and "good advice" are two qualities Arsenal FC manager Ars�ne Wenger thinks Sol Campbell will offer after the 35-year-old signed a deal until the end of the season with his old club.
Arsenal The Gunners - Page 17 943666_w2

Sol Campbell (Arsenal FC)�Getty Images

Ars�ne Wenger hailed the "experience" of Sol Campbell after the 35-year-old defender signed a contract until the end of the season with former club Arsenal FC more than three years after leaving the Gunners.
Final goal
Having arrived on a free transfer in 2001 from local rivals Tottenham Hotspur FC, the last of Campbell's 197 appearances for Arsenal was the 2006 UEFA Champions League final, a 2-1 loss to FC Barcelona in which the former England player opened the scoring. The 73-cap centre-back, who won five major honours in his first spell with the north Londoners, subsequently enjoyed a three-year stint at Portsmouth FC before a surprise move to fourth division Notts County FC, for whom he played just once before leaving in December. A trial period with Arsenal ensued thereafter, earning Campbell a deal until the summer.
'Good opportunity'
"He brings experience, good advice, and physically he has worked hard," said Wenger. "We're giving him a chance. For us it is a good help until the end of the season, and for him it is a good opportunity to show he can still play in the Premier League." Campbell is the first player to rejoin Arsenal during Wenger's tenure and only the fifth to do so in the club's history. Arsenal resume UEFA Champions League duty in the round of 16 against FC Porto on 17 February.

Is Fabregas's attack on his Arsenal team-mates further evidence the skipper is heading for the exit?

Arsenal The Gunners - Page 17 Laptoplipton

By Martin Lipton in Laptop with Martin Lipton
Published 11:43 18/02/10

If it is true that what you say in anger represents your deepest thoughts, then Cesc Fabregas is beginning the final chapter of his Arsenal story.
Fabregas' anguished reaction to Arsenal's Champions League defeat by Porto last night was as telling as any interview he has given since Barcelona stepped up their public courting.
As Arsenal skipper, Fabregas has a duty of care, a demand that he protects his team-mates even when they make the sort of errors to make you weep.
But while Fabregas believes Arsene Wenger's Gunners will progress to the last eight when Porto travel to the Emirates in three weeks' time, his instinctive response to what happened in the Estadio do Dragao was an insight into his soul.

"When you concede goals like that you can't go anywhere," said Fabregas. "They were schoolboy goals. What can you do? We've nothing to complain about.
"Until the second goal we were solid but after that we went down.
"We're still a little bit soft in that aspect as a team when we concede a goal. Sometimes we're not strong enough to lift ourselves and that's what happened. We're not strong enough to stand up and play well."
The words were far more serious than Wayne Rooney's criticism of the first half displays by Nani and Darren Fletcher in the San Siro.
This was a public dressing down of his own dressing room, an attack not just on the mistakes but the mentality of Wenger's squad.
There were underlying reasons, ones which Fabregas did not disclose.
Among the crowd in Oporto were 40 friends and family of the Arsenal skipper, who had made the trip from his home town of Arenys de Mar to see him.
Fabregas felt embarrassed at what they had witnessed, that he was a member of a team that could commit two such horrendous mistakes in the same match.
But the fact that Fabregas voiced his feelings so openly will cause major ramifications among the players he has under him.
Where Wenger, remarkably, blamed Swedish referee Martin Hansson, trying - in vain - to detach Lukasz Fabianski and Sol Campbell from the blame game, Fabregas had no such protective instincts.
That Wenger's stance is more than a little hypocritical is perhaps not a surprise, even if it shows there is nobody less consistent than a top flight football manager.
When Robert Pires scored from a quickly-taken free-kick at Aston Villa in January 2004, Wenger was not complaining.
Likewise, after Thierry Henry scored in similar circumstances to claim a draw with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea the following season, Wenger's response was: "I feel it is an intelligent exploitation of the rules. My understanding is that the referee asks the free-kick taker if he wants a wall or not."
Then again, we know that Wenger is, like most managers, utterly one-eyed.
His players, however, will have read Fabregas' accusatory words with a mixture of shame and resentment.
As a rule - the sort of rule Roy Keane would happily break with impunity until even he got too much for Sir Alex Ferguson - you do not criticise your team-mates, whatever you think of them.
Fabregas tore that rule up into little pieces as he climbed into his colleagues, signalling another fracture in his bond with the club.
Then again, you can understand Fabregas' feelings as he attempts to lead an army which has neither the troop numbers nor the weaponry required to win the biggest battles.
Fabianski's blunders - further evidence that Wenger has got it wrong about the Polish keeper - were proof of one of the obvious failings in Arsenal's recruitment policy.
So far this season, Wenger has turned to four different glovemen - Fabianski, Manuel Almunia, Vito Mannone and Wojciech Szczesny - without finding a proper goalkeeper between them.
When you add in Wenger's reluctance to spend on the striker the club is crying out for in the absence of Robin Van Persie, the fact that Campbell came out of self-imposed footballing exile to bolster the ranks and the reality that Arsenal look like a club that will never splash the cash while the current ownership model remains in charge, the charge sheet against the manager is growing.
Things can change. Certainly 12 straight league wins - probably enough to take the title with Chelsea and United likely to drop points here, there and everywhere - would alter the mood and Porto should not represent too much of a barrier in the second leg.
Fabregas' intemperate words, however, suggest he is edging closer and closer to the exit door. His patience, evidently, has run out. And it looks like he will next.

Why Wenger's idea of a relegation play-off is no crazier than the Champions League proposal

Here's a plan to make the Premier League more interesting.
Arsene Wenger came up with it the other day when a few of us journos were chatting with him at the airport before the flight to Porto.
The Arsenal manager suggests that there should be a play-off so as to keep the league alive and buzzing with something to play for right until the end of the season.
Not surprisingly though, Wenger doesn't think it should be at the top of the table between the teams that finish in fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh for the fourth and final Champions League spot.

Wenger believes the play-off should be between the teams in 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th as to who should get the third and final relegation slot.
Last year, that would have been between Blackburn, Sunderland, Hull and Newcastle. The year before would've been Reading, Fulham, Bolton and Sunderland. 06/07 was Sheffield United, Wigan, Fulham and West Ham.
But this is where it gets interesting. In 05/06 it would have been between Birmingham, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
Still interested now? Let's see how Randy Lerner would fancy that. Or, for that matter Sheikh Mansour.
It would take 14 clubs to vote in favour to change the current Champions League process. Will they get that through? Probably. Think about it. Who would vote against it? Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal. No-one else.
You could argue it shakes up the league, makes it more interesting. Apart from the fact when you've played 38 games, you generally deserve to be where you've finished. There can be some big, big gaps between fourth and seventh place.
Furthermore, if a team from seventh got in, did badly, that would damage our coefficient rating. We've only got four places because the Premier League clubs have a good record in Europe.
We could lose that fourth Champions League place in no time. Then, Richard Scudamore wouldn't look so clever, would he?
You can earn �30million in Champions League revenue. You stand to lose �30million if you get relegated. So, if clubs think play-offs for fourth place are clever why not do it at the other end, too?
Bet the voting wouldn't be quite as strong then. All the talk about needing to keep the league interesting may disappear and be replaced with deserving to end up where you finish after 38 games.
Imagine that, finishing 15th and get relegated? No chance.
Sorry, the play-off for the fourth Champions League slot is a joke, a non-starter and can reward clubs not for consistency and good business sense but luck and boom and bust.
Think of it this way. A club gambles, spends beyond its means on wages and transfers. If it finishes seventh, then it may fluke it into the Champions League.
If it finishes eighth then it may go out of business. Just think Leeds and Portsmouth. What a joke. The Premier League would effectively be encouraging clubs to gamble and potentially go out of business.
Yeah, they're really encouraging clubs to be run well, sensibly and consistently.
Wenger has finished in the Champions League places in each of the full seasons he has taken charge of since arriving just after the start of the 96/97 campaign.
If that was rewarded with a trophy, Wenger would be the most successful manager in English football history.
It isn't. As a result, Wenger is under pressure to win some silverware this season and fans say he should be winning the FA and League Cup. Agreed.
But what is more lucrative? And if the FA Cup offered the fourth Champions League spot do fans really not think that Arsenal would go for it more rather than rest players?
The Champions League place is a better prize to Arsenal as a football club than the FA Cup in terms of finance. And finance is what it's all about in the Premier League. Just ask those clubs fighting relegation.
Sadly, you just don't get a trophy for qualifying for the Champions League.

Not so safe hands - Arsene Wenger's keepers rated and slated

Arsene Wenger has endured mixed fortunes with keepers during his 14 years in charge at Arsenal - with Lukas Fabianski being his latest miss. Here John Cross rates the other key men he's had between the sticks:
David Seaman
Wenger inherited Safe Hands when he took charge in 1996 and the England keeper helped Arsenal to glorious success. Seaman is still regarded as Arsenal's best keeper of recent times.
Verdict: Hit
Jens Lehmann
The German veteran had a wild temper and could be a liability - but he also enjoyed a remarkable record of not losing a single game in his first Premier League season. Was also the penalty hero in the 2005 FA Cup final which was Arsenal's last trophy.
Verdict: Hit
Manuel Almunia
Took over from Lehmann as Arsenal's first choice. He has had indifferent spells, including this season. But Almunia was talked up as a potential England keeper - despite being Spanish. He was terrific last season, disappointing this year.
Verdict: Jury is out

Richard Wright
Signed from Ipswich to be Seaman's successor, the England international struggled under the pressure of being at a big club and was ruthlessly discarded by Arsene wenger.
Verdict: Miss
Alex Maninger
Another young pretender who had good moments, including in Arsenal's early success under Arsene Wenger. But when the young keeper was given a chance as number one, he was found wanting.
Verdict: Miss
Rami Shabaan
Had a background straight out of the United Nations - Swedish and Egyptian roots. Sadly, it didn't win him any peace - and he was also offloaded after suffering a broken leg at Arsenal.
Verdict: Miss
