As well as the silverware, Wenger has created a period of sustained success in north London.

Since 1997 the Gunners have finished in the top two of the league or reached at least the final of a cup competition each season.

Most recently came his "bitter disappointment" in losing the Champions League final in a first trophyless campaign since 2002.

But Wenger is adamant they will go a step further and as Gunners fans say - "Arsene knows". He was once laughed at for saying his side could go a league season unbeaten, however, the 2004 'Invincibles' proved him right there.
