Gunners in groove, raves Walcott

ARSENE WENGER has always maintained that his Arsenal side have the belief to win the Premier League title this season and they proved their credentials on Saturday by cruising to victory over West Ham.

The north London club have failed to win a trophy since 2005 and many critics had questioned why Wenger would not dip into the transfer market last summer and bring in some big name players to help them win major silverware again.

Arsenal supporters had every reason to fear yet another year would go by without a trophy after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds in the FA Cup third round last week and then suffered a shock Carling Cup defeat against Ipswich in the semi-final first leg last week just four days later.
