Arsene Wenger Wants Silverware

Arsene Wenger has called on his Arsenal side to star winning silverware.

The Frenchman took over at the club in 1996 and has won the Premier League title as well as the FA Cup whilst at the club.

However Arsenal has not lifted a trophy for five years and Wenger claims that inexperience is not longer an excuse for his players.

Speaking to The Sun Wenger said: "My players don't have the excuse of inexperience any more.

"They are eager for titles. I believe they are capable, but they have to show it. People are always saying that we haven't won anything for five years.

"This is true, but we have always remained at the highest level, even during difficult periods in the club's life.

"Arsenal built a new stadium and we have to pay for that, while also building a new team which had reached the end of a cycle.

"What would you say to Manchester City if they did not win any trophies this season after investing £200million?

"To me, the main reason why we have not won anything in five years is the fact we play in the best league in the world against clubs that have unlimited funds.

"Of course I want to win trophies. Our hopes for the season are always the same - we are fighting for the Premier League title and want to win the Champions League.

"The plan is to continue our improvement with the strength of our team and their youth."

The London side were in action against Tottenham Hotspur last night in the Carling Cup third round and they left it late as they scored three goal in extra time to win 4-1.

Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League table after the first five matches on eleven points, four behind Chelsea.
