It ours to win – Wenger

(01-01-2011) The league title is "Arsenal's to win", reckons manager Arsene Wenger. The Gunners head into 2011 in third place, two points behind leaders Manchester United, who have a match in hand, and Manchester City, who have played two games more. Wenger however has complete faith in his young team who start the New Year with a trip to Birmingham swiftly followed by the visit of City on January 5. "It is Arsenal's title to win. We have to go on a run and be consistent," said Wenger on Friday. "The only thing we have learnt from this first six months is that the team who will be the most consistent, with great emotional stamina and resolve will win it.” He added: "It could be the league of the mentally strong. The teams who deal the best with that will certainly win it."
