Not only do i support arsenal but i love them. It is therefore difficult to say that they are not in position to contend for the title due to inconsistancy with their results.
On the contrary, look at the reds, although there was a time when manchester united looked a bit shaky, they have not had seroius wobble and it appears the worst is really over for them as they easily overcame the end of year bank tight holiday fixture. What else is needed of champion? When playing poorly but still grinding results and it is not a comfortable proposition to be chasing manchester united especially at the beginning of the year.
I heard Wenger saying that the team lacked some one to take charge on the pitch at Wigan. It is very surprising to hear him make such statements as it makes him kind of acknowledge the fact that the team lacks maturity to win the title. It is only mr Wenger who has been believing in the all young team. Almost every pundit has argued to the contrary. Infact, even a novice would see that Arsenal needs atleast two or three heavy hitters to bolster both the defence and the mid field. I just think that wenger now realises that such statements need to be made in preparation for the worst at the end of the season.
Logic is very simple, this is january, let mr Wenger go out there to buy some muscle and buy them from within the English premiership league ready to impact on the team immediately. Anything else short of this will only make it very difficult for arsenal even to qualify for the European championship as the competition is immense.
As for the title contention, the belief to win it will only make the title race for the English premiership league interesting but i do not see manchester united letting go.
