Wenger remains calm

Arsene Wenger is remaining calm despite Arsenal falling behind Man Utd in the Premiership table into second place. After Arsenal drew 0-0 with Portsmouth they squandered their lead at the top of the league to Man Utd who defeated Sunderland.

Wenger insisted: "Although a 0-0 draw is a disappointment it is not too bad. We have lost one game since the beginning of the championship so you will have problems to convince me we are in crisis.

"If we go six months again by just losing none then we will be champions.

"The expectations are very high and when you do not get to the game you want to play it is disappointing.

"If you ask me I prefer to be in front, but with one point difference that is not that big a deal.

"I believe that if we just focus on our performances and get a good result at Everton then everything is all right."
