Clichy targets new high for Gunners

Clichy was a member of the Gunners squad which lifted the title in 2004 after incredibly going the entire campaign without losing a league match.[LNB]Arsenal are in contention to finish top of the pile again this time for the first time in six years, and Clichy feels that would prove a significant achievement.[LNB]The Frenchman thinks that silencing the critics of Arsene Wenger's inexperienced squad would rank above an unbeaten campaign. [LNB]Asked if winning the league this season would be an accomplishment to match 2004, Clichy told Sky Sports News: "Even more, because people really doubt Arsenal. [LNB]"With the young team we have, people were saying a lot of bad things about us.[LNB]"That is the first thing we want to do. We want to show them we are a bit more mature now and that we can compete in this league, which is the best league in the world.[LNB]"We are going to fight until the end to make something happen because this year could be our year."[LNB]Clichy also insists he never had any doubts about team-mate Nicklas Bendtner's mentality after the striker responded to his domestic horror-show against Burnley with a hat-trick against Porto in the Champions League. [LNB]The full-back said: "That says everything for the character of Nicklas. [LNB]"Sometimes people can feel he is a bit arrogant and he is a bit careless about the result and what he is doing on the pitch.[LNB]"But he is a great guy and certainly not missing any confidence about himself."[LNB]Clichy added: "If something is wrong today, it will be better tomorrow and that is his philosophy of life."[LNB][LNB] Barclays Prem 2009/10 Win Outright: Arsenal 9/4
