Wenger’s slip of the pen marks Arsenal’s card

IT might have been just a slip of the pen, but Arsene Wenger’s programme notes on Saturday delivered cast-iron proof of how confidence is now coursing through Arsenal’s veins.

“April is obviously a very important month for us,’’ he wrote. “We have eight games so it is very busy.’’

Wenger was wrong. Arsenal were scheduled to play just seven times this month — it will only be eight if Villarreal are dispatched in the Champions League quarter-finals.
