Gunners raise sights as Wenger gets timing just right

The greatest managers in football don’t just manage players, they manage a season — and Arsene Wenger, at last, seems to be getting this one right.

Too often in the past, Arsenal have peaked at the wrong time, been tired at the wrong time or been dogged by injuries just when they needed to be at their best. But not this year.

With seven games to go in the 2014-15 campaign, Wenger’s side is fit, on form and gathering the kind of momentum that makes you believe a late run to snatch the title from Chelsea is not impossible.
