Campbell, 35, who is set to rejoin the Gunners until the end of the season, also wishes he had never left the club in 2006.[LNB]Arsene Wenger's team have cut the gap to leaders Chelsea from 11 points to three inside six weeks.[LNB]Even Chelsea captain John Terry admitted that he considered Arsenal out of the title race after the Blues beat them 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium in November.[LNB]Many feel the Gunners' relative inexperience could count against them in a hard-fought title race but Campbell insists he would be able to help address that shortcoming.[LNB]The defender was a key part of both the double-winning side of 2002 and the 'Invincibles' who went through an entire season undefeated two years later.[LNB]"The likes of me and William [Gallas] have seen it all before, and Cesc [Fabregas] too, that's what it's all about really," Campbell told the club's official website.[LNB]"It's not so much dragging them over the line but just showing when you've got that green light to keep them going.[LNB]"They are fantastic guys and great players. But as the games come thick and fast and you've got to get a win here or a draw, and it's the fifth game [in a couple of weeks] and everyone is tired, getting the lads over the line and getting that result is what's important.[LNB]"Those points add up at the end of the season."[LNB]While Campbell is optimistic over Arsenal's title hopes, he admits he should have stayed at the club instead of quitting in May 2006.[LNB]The centre-back ended his first spell with the Gunners by scoring in the UEFA Champions League Final in 2006.[LNB]"Yes [I wish I had never left]," he admitted.[LNB]"Sometimes when you go away you realise what a top club Arsenal is. Slowly but surely everyone moves on, but sometimes you move away and you re-think things.[LNB]"Things happen for whatever reason and here I am. You have to apply yourself and I have worked so hard to get to this situation.[LNB]"The physios, fitness staff, everyone at Arsenal have worked wonders with me, and it feels like coming home really.[LNB]"I think Arsene Wenger is now looking at a little bit of experience to push the lads through. But the main thing is if everything goes well, every time I play and get the chance, I want to show what I can do."[LNB][LNB] Bolton v Arsenal 1st Player Carded: Fabregas, C. 12/1
