Wenger fears losing top-four place

“We fight against teams who fight not to go down and we know how important being in the Premier League is”.

Arsenal’s title bid faltered badly amid a poor run of results after the turn of the year but a 20th consecutive season of Champions League football remains on the cards.

“I personally think they are going to be in the top four but if they aren’t I don’t know what’s going to happen because people expect them to be in the top four”.

Sunderland are battling for survival and the point saw them climb out of the drop zone, with Wenger praising the “fight” shown by Sam Allardyce’s side.

Arsene Wenger claimed the Premier League’s congested fixture schedule had an impact on Arsenal’s failure to win at Sunderland. He famously scored five goals in the span of nine minutes against VfL Wolfsburg earlier this season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger should not be replaced unless the board has a decent alternative in place, says Ray Parlour. On average they finish fourth, reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, the last 16 in the Champions League and put up a relatively respectable showing in the League Cup… which is EXACTLY what they’ve done in 2015/16.

“The regret we have is being in the lead against West Ham and being in the lead against Crystal Palace and not getting the points”. “The guy is close to the guy who takes the shot”.

With many season-ticket holders electing to miss the game in frustration at another botched title challenge, the atmosphere was flat inside a stadium with lots of empty red seats. The fact that we do not win it is, of course, frustrating’. When you have to play Champions League qualifiers the European Championship is still going on.

The 21-year-old, who has enjoyed an impressive campaign, told the club’s website: “I feel very proud about the award”.

“For me none of them was a penalty, because it was not deliberate handball”, Wenger said. It was the kind of game where we needed to go in front because I thought we might suffer physically.
