Gunners overdue

LONDON. — It’s 11 years since Arsenal won the title — they went from Invincibles to Incapables. And you can throw bottlers into that description as well.Of course, Chelsea could implode and hand the title to Arsenal over the next six weeks or so, but that’s unlikely.

If it does happen it’s a title that’s long overdue and nothing can ever take away the barren years when Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were an embarrassment at home and abroad — specialists in failure.

Those years will always hang heavy around Wenger’s neck.

Yes, yes, there’s the FA Cup currently sitting there in the trophy cabinet alongside the shiny shield they won in August.

And, yes, they are clear favourites to win it again.

An FA Cup isn’t the definition of success for the great clubs of Europe. Only the Wenger apologists can’t see that. So are Gooners seduced by this end of season run they’re currently on?

It’s impressive, no question. 15 wins in 17 games since their loss New Year’s Day. But this is classic Arsene Wenger isn’t it?

Winning games when the pressure is off is something Wenger has proved he can do regularly.  —  Mailonline.
