Wenger: No title talk, baby steps

Manager Arsène Wenger has said that he doesn't want to talk about winning the Premiership title yet, and just wants to focus on getting some consistency.

Arsenal have already suffered five defeats in the league this season and many pundits and fans have written their title chances off.

But some consistency has begun creeping into the Gunners form recently but Wenger still doesn't want to talk about the Premiership title.

Wenger said: "We do not speak about title at the moment, we just go from game to game. We on are a good run and have good momentum so let's just keep it going.

"It is not because of the pressure we have but just because we want to keep our momentum. Let's get some belief and keep going then see where we are in April.

"Everybody is playing against each other now. So we need to be consistent and on our toes because there are some big games coming up for us now.

"I believe that nobody is flying over the games at the moment. On Saturday Chelsea came back in injury time and Manchester United did [in] the last minute. It is good because it gives hope to everybody.

"Manchester United are in form but they won 1-0 against Wigan and against Bolton in the last minute. That indicates they could drop points. They have a massive squad but if they get injuries they will be in the same situation as us."

Yes Monsieur Wenger do not say anything about trophies because you always want to do your own things and never consider Arsenal's fans. This beloved team is in need of more mature players. If you get this Russian well and good.... keep getting others who can kill the game as early as possible and those who can defend very well. I wish Arsenal all the best.
