Wenger optimistic about renewed success

(25-09-2010) Such has been Arsenal’s impressive form this season, that manager Arsene Wenger is really optimistic that the club can finally break their trophy drought. The Gunners have not won anything since the 2005 FA Cup. Since then they have moved to a new stadium, but the Frenchman insists that that has nothing to do with the blanks they have fired for the last six years. "I believe it is never easy to move to a new stadium. The first plan for us was to stay at the top level of competition and we managed that," said Wenger on Thursday. "I believe it is a bit simplistic as well to say that we have no trophies, like the club has not existed in the last five years. If you look at the index of UEFA, we are in the top eight seeded clubs. We have been in the Champions League semi-final and final during that period and we have always managed to play at the top.”
