Wenger backs Arsenal to win silverware

Arsene Wenger is convinced a "hungry" Arsenal can stay the course in the race for honours this season and declared "we are all on the same wavelength".

The Gunners are unbeaten in 11 games, but head into Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Fulham looking to get their title bid back on track after slipping off the top of the table following the frustrating 1-1 home draw with Birmingham.

"There is a real hunger and we are all on the same wavelength. We have the same love for the game, and that drives you on," declared Wenger, his side still in the hunt for the Champions League and both domestic cup competitions.

"You feel there is a potential in the side and that you want to win, but they want to win as well."

Wenger continued on Arsenal TV: "We have taken a step forwards, because at this period of last season they were 16 or 17 points behind the leader. This year after 21 games, we were two points in front.

"That must give us belief, first of all that we have come higher up because Liverpool have invested, Manchester United have invested, Chelsea have invested as always, and we still have made up the ground and are in front of them.

"That makes me believe we can win trophies at the end of the season."

And Wenger remains as committed as ever to the Arsenal cause, having long resisted offers of the opportunity to work elsewhere in Europe, and even at one stage manage England.

"At the moment this season, I am so happy because every day is a real pleasure to work with my team," he revealed.

"You come in the morning, and you are happy to go in to your job. The high ambitions I have are for this club to win every single competition and the dream I have to play the football we love - that keeps me going on."
