Wenger defends Gunners' trophy record

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has defended the achievements of his side in recent years and believes Champions League qualification has as much merit attached to it as winning a domestic cup competition, if not more.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis, chairman Peter Hill-Wood and majority shareholder Stan Kroenke were all heckled at the club’s annual general meeting today over the club’s financial strategy and failure to win a trophy since 2005.
