Arsenal boss pledges all out assault on quadruple

Arsene Wenger has warned the footballing world that Arsenal have every intention of going for an unprecedented quadruple. The Gunners are back in Premier League action on Saturday after a midweek FA Cup replay success at Leeds.

Next week the Gunners, who last won silverware in 2005, take on Championship strugglers Ipswich in the second leg of their Carling Cup semi-final.

Then we have a Champions League showdown with Barcelona on the horizon for the men from the Emirates.

"We are motivated to give our best in all the competitions, that is for sure," the Arsenal chief said.

"What can we win? We are not in a position to say that, we are in a position where we want to give our best and afterwards we will see where we end up.

"What is good is we are in mid-January and we are still in all four competitions, so let's go for it."

Wenger continued: "We have shown since the start of the season that we can beat everybody. We feel that we are getting stronger and stronger.

"We have a stronger belief than at the start of the season and our togetherness is better than at the start.

"I believe there is more to come out from this team and am convinced we will be stronger and stronger.

"We are on a good run in the championship and every game becomes crucial now."

Arsenal now have four home matches in succession and Wenger will not accept any more below-par performances at the Emirates Stadium.

"We know our home form can make a huge impact on our success and that's why if it is Wigan or anybody else at home we want the three points," he said.

"Everybody has learned since the start of the season that there is no room for taking anybody lightly because everybody can beat everybody in this league."
