Arsenal manager concedes that Ferguson’s side are in a
class of their own this term.
Arsène Wenger has conceded for the first time that Arsenal have
no hope of winning the Premier League this season, as he declared
the current league leaders Manchester United, “untouchable”.
Arsenal sit in fifth place, 12 points behind the reigning
champions, a gap that will extend to 15 if United win their game in
hand tonight against Fulham, a victory that would also take Sir
Alex Ferguson’s side five points clear of second-placed Liverpool.
That is a match the Arsenal manager also believes, no doubt to the
annoyance of his Fulham counterpart Roy Hodgson, “United will
certainly win”.
Should a 15-point gap open up on Arsenal after tonight’s game at
Old Trafford, Wenger feels it will be asking too much for his side
to catch up and claim their first league title since 2004.
