Wenger: We can win this Premiership title

After yesterday's important win over London rivals West Ham, the boss restated the team's desire and belief that they have a good chance of defying all odds to win the Premiership title this season.

Experts and pundits had written off our title chances even before the season had begun, and goalkeeper Manuel Almunia admitted that the team thought their season was over in November.

But come March and we are sitting at the top of the Premiership table with 7 games left to play, though Manchester United and Chelsea have game(s) in hand, but still have to play each other. United play Liverpool and Chelsea take on Blackburn today.

The pressure is on, and today is one of those rare days when we can sit back, relax and watch our title rivals do their best to regain top spot.

Wenger explained: "What we can do is win our games and watch the games in a relaxed way on Sunday and see what happens.

"We knew a long time ago we had to win our games and we do that in a very, very pleasant way because we play our game and when we have to calm it down we do it.

"We have improved on the maturity side of our game, when we have to accelerate we can still find the resources and overall I believe what happened today will only add to our belief and our quality in the future games."

"We are not under any special pressure because we are beyond expectation.

"We want to win the trophy because we are all conscious we have won nothing yet and the hunger is there, the talent is there and I think the nerves are there.

"So all we can do is rely on the other results of the other teams, so the only thing we can do is master our own results.

"When you are a footballer you always want to win championships and trophies. People don't realise how young we are. This team will win, the sooner the better.

"We have a good chance to do it this year. It will be exciting, tight and the response we gave today in the second half was very important in future games."
