Senderos warns Blues to expect Gunners backlash

ARSENAL defender Philippe Senderos warned Chelsea to expect an Arsenal backlash next season as he insisted: “We have proved that we are one of the best, if not the best, team in the country.”

Senderos is rapidly emerging as one of Arsene Wenger’s famous cut-price bargains, having been signed for a relatively small but undisclosed fee from Swiss club Servette in July 2003.

And with fellow youngsters Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Gael Clichy and Mathieu Flamini having all similarly matured this season, he insists Chelsea’s riches will not necessarily ensure them back-to-back titles.
