Arsenal Will Not Give Up On Premier League Title- Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger has refused to give up on the Premier League title, despite a poor run of form leaving Arsenal eight points short of the top. A draw in the north London derby at Tottenham on Saturday was the Gunners' third league game without a win.

Speaking in his pre-match news conference ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round replay at Hull City, Wenger insisted he was feeling no added pressure and people who question his team's spirit are not right. He said “We will not give up on the championship and will fight until the end. I believe the championship is far from over and let me remind you we have beaten Leicester twice so people have to look at the other teams more, not us. When people question the spirit, it doesn't mean they are right. The spirit was questioned after Swansea but I would invite you to watch the game again, and then again, which is sometimes welcome for journalists to do because it might change their opinion. No matter what people say it does not influence us. Opinions are opinions. I always have the same pressure after that, well you have more people talking than 20 years ago, more opinions, but the pressure doesn't change. It comes from within to win the next game”.

Wenger became the longest serving manager in Europe this week, having joined the Gunners 20 years ago from Japanese side Nagoya Grampus.
