Wenger: Gunners are still competitive

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal can still win the Barclays Premier League despite not being able to match the outlay of some rivals.

The Gunners are without a trophy since winning the FA Cup seven years ago and have not won the title since 2004. Big-spending Chelsea and Manchester City have enjoyed domestic success since then, while Arsenal have been criticised by some supporters for not splashing the cash.

That, though, does not mean the north Londoners should not hold title ambitions, according to Wenger. He told Time Out Hong Kong: "Firstly, I must say that not being able to match the spending of the richest clubs does not mean that you can't compete with them on the pitch."
