Wenger refuses to press panic button after defensive debacle

ARSENAL'S season is now balanced on a delicately-poised see-saw after Blackburn heaped a significant weight on the end marked 'failure'.

The side that has thrilled, entertained and been admired all season is in danger of stumbling within sight of the finishing line.

Three draws in the Champions League means Wednesday's trip to Valencia falls in the all-or-nothing category and to make matters worse defeat at Blackburn in the Premiership has given hope to closest pursuers Manchester United.
