No mental hang-up at the Emirates – AW

(29-11-2010) Arsene Wenger claims Arsenal have no psychological problems about playing at the Emirates. This season the Gunners away form has contrasted enormously with their home form. They have the best away record in the EPL, taking 17 points from eight games on the road. At home they have already lost three matches, but Wenger is adamant it is not a major concern with his side still challenging strongly for the title. "The fact we have away wins, but are not winning so much at home, I feel it is a coincidence,” he said on Sunday. "I don't believe we have a mental problem in terms of playing at home. I would prefer to have the problem this way around rather than the other way around.” He added: "It is good to know you can win away and, at some stage at home, you know you will get things right.”
