If he's celebrating with the Premier League trophy in May, Arsene Wenger's attempts to head off another bout of abuse will seem reasonable.
"Let's not go overboard," the Arsenal manager cautioned after failing again to win at Manchester United. Despite Sunday's 3-2 loss, Arsenal remains third in the Premier League, Leicester is only five points in front and there are still 33 points to play for. "I cannot fault our commitment and spirit and desire," Wenger said of his players. In reality, they lack the fighting spirit and doggedness to grind out the wins required to end a 12-year-old title drought.
In the 20th anniversary year of his appointment, Wenger is fast running out of excuses, particularly when the teams above Arsenal are Leicester and Tottenham. Leader Leicester has never won the league. Tottenham, whose last title came in 1961, hosts Arsenal in the north London derby on Saturday.
