    I very much doubt it but our next 5 fixtures will give a very good indication of whether it is possible or not. We obviously need to win our next 4 fixtures. I'll believe it if we can survive at the Nou Camp but I don't fancy our chances. League & CC is very much on though. FA Cup is luck of the draw but Chelsea being eliminated will boost our chances there. As long as we are drawn at home in the FA Cup, I fancy our chances, I'm a bit skeptical about tomorrow's match, though. Too many out of form fringe players at the moment but Bendtner and Arshavin have at least picked up form over the last month so I'm hoping they will get us through tomorrow. I'm expecting Djourou, Song & Sagna to start tomorrow aswell so we have no excuses if we don't win.

    Denilson, Chamakh, Squillaci, Rosicky, even Gibbs to an extent. All of which are likely to play tomorrow. Flappin Manny will be back in net too.

    Technically it can be done but as better squads have failed in the past,one would be more reliant on luck or brown envelopes. As Fergie has capitalised the envelope approach one would have to say it was unlikely but after a six year absence of silver aversion Arsenal should focus on bigger targets such as the Emirates cup 2011.

    I don't see why Szczesny's going to be dropped tomorrow. Surely goalkeeping isn't that tiring?

    In all seriousness, I can't believe Wenger has come out and said that. Surely the last few years have taught him that every time he talks up his side's chances, they end up going on a terrible run and dropping out of the race. He did the same in March 2008 just before losing to Chelsea and dropping out of the title race, and also in December 2009, just before you guys drew three matches in a row. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up getting beaten by Orient today now Wenger's said you could win all four...

    'Can Arsenal can'.

    What a good idea - every time the Gunners score the players do a can-can !!

    What is wrong with what Wenger has said,all he's done is replied to a question.He hasn't been arrogant enough to say Arsenal will win all four trophies but just said it is possible to win all four

    It's not that he's arrogant, it's just that every time he makes a comment like this it always seems to lead to something going wrong. Not only the two mentioned above but:

    September 2002: Wenger says Arsenal can go through the whole PL unbeaten. Their 30 game run ends one month later and Utd win the league.
    April 2008: Wenger says Arsenal can still win the CL. They go out to Liverpool in the next game.
    December 2008: Wengers says Arsenal will win a trophy that season.
    October 2009: Wenger says Arsenal will win a trophy without needing to buy new players.

    I'm sure there are lots of other I can't remember, but it just seems like every time Wenger makes a comment about Arsenal's potential, even one that is perfectly reasonable like winning a trophy in 08/09 or 09/10, the wheels seem to come off. Compare it to SAF in 08/09, who said the quadruple "wasn't feasible", when we were the reigning English and European champions.

    It just seems to me like Wenger even mentioning it as a possibility is ramping up the pressure on his side, particularly if you compare it to the season you did go unbeaten, when Wenger was talking down your chances of winning. I think your players would stand more chance of winning more trophies if Wenger had just said no, we probably won't win all four..

    "It's not that he's arrogant, it's just that every time he makes a comment like this it always seems to lead to something going wrong".

    Fergie too has said similar when he said Chelsea's squad was too old......

    Only to come back two years later with the same squad and hit them for the double.....Proving no one gets it right all the time<ok>
