Wenger seeks end to barren run
Arsene Wenger feels Barclays Premier League title glory for his young Gunners this season would be just reward for all his "patient work".[LNB] The Frenchman, who turns 60 later this month, is now the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history, taking the club to another level since arriving at Highbury some 13 seasons ago. However, Wenger knows despite all the success in the past - which included an unbeaten campaign on the way to the 2003/2004 title - another barren return come May next year would be a major disappointment. [LNB] "I think it [winning the title] would be the consequence of more patient work, and of a long build-up," said the Arsenal manager. [LNB] "I believe as well you can say this team is like some former teams, that it is really red and white. [LNB] "A lot of these players arrived at 16 and are now in the first team, and it is something fantastic to achieve that." [LNB] Wenger added: "We have not won the Premier League (since 2004). To achieve it now would be like winning it for the first time again." [LNB] Of all his achievements, Wenger believes the Invincible campaign stands alone. [LNB] "After seven games this season, everybody has lost already and there are a lot of people who have invested a lot of money," he said. [LNB] "I don't say it cannot be done again, but it is an exceptional achievement because it is not long ago - 2004 - and it shows that it takes something special to do that."
