Wenger hits back at stadium taunts

ARSENE WENGER answered Alex Ferguson’s taunt that Arsenal would struggle to fill their new stadium by insisting the increased capacity would make them one of the richest clubs in the world.

Wenger does accept it will take time for Arsenal’s youngsters to reach their full potential, acknowledging there is “too much pressure” on the shoulders of Thierry Henry.

But he warned critics against writing off his side ahead of tonight’s Premiership clash against Manchester United, even though they have fallen out of title contention.
