Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger defends decision to take 14,[url=http://www.gucci-outlet.us@#$%&/]gucci belts[/url]
ARSENE WENGER last night defended Arsenal's decision to hop on a flight from London to Norwich but insisted their shock defeat has left his stars grounded,[url=http://www.borse-louisvuitton.it/]louis @#$%&[/url].
The Gunners boss and his players hired a private plane to fly between Luton and Norwich last weekend even though they were in the air for just 14 minutes.
Wenger said: "Usually we take the train and there was no train available so in the end we decided to fly because we would have driven up on Friday afternoon when you never know how long it lasts."

It has raised serious doubts as to whether Arsenal can compete for silverware this season and Thursday's annual general meeting could be even livelier if Wenger's men slip up in the Champions League tonight,[url=http://www.@#$%&-rosheruns@#$%&/]roshe run[/url].
The early optimism and hope among Arsenal fans was quickly extinguished by that shock 1 0 defeat at Norwich and even Wenger admits his side have a mountain to climb,[url=http://www.nikefactoryoutletstore.us@#$%&/]cheap @#$%& shoes[/url].
He said: "I share that concern but I believe we can compete for trophies. We have played five times away from home out of eight. At the moment I agree, 10 points is a lot, but we have to focus on getting closer.
"For us, it's not just the number of points. The margin of error we have now in front of us is very limited. And with a result like that we have put huge pressure on our shoulders."
That pressure will intensify if Arsenal do not beat Schalke tonight but Wenger approaches the showdown with the best home record in the Champions League unbeaten in the Group stages since 2006.
But while Wenger conceded that Arsenal do need to provide a strong response after the Norwich defeat, he insists the club is on a strong footing.
He said: "Yes,[url=http://www.conversepascher.fr/]@#$%&[/url], of course,[url=http://www.raybansunglasses.us@#$%&/]@#$%& outlet[/url], I would love everybody to be happy but I think overall the club is in a very strong position.
"They have a good team,[url=http://www.cheapoakley--sunglasses@#$%&/]fake oakleys[/url], they have fantastic players,[url=http://www.michaelkorsoutlet-online.us@#$%&/]kors outlet[/url], they have a strong financial situation.
"People feel as well that the players have a good attitude,[url=http://www.vanspas-cher.fr/]@#$%&[/url]. It's down to us now to make the maximum of this during the season. But there is no reason really for doom and gloom,[url=http://www.toryburchoutletshoese@#$%&/]tory burch sale[/url].
"I understand every frustration,[url=http://www.lululemon-outlet.us@#$%&/]lulu lemon[/url]. Who doesn't share the frustration,[url=http://www.michaelkorshandbags-uk.co.uk/]michael kors handbags[/url]? But the most difficult thing at the top level is to be consistent and one day you'll see that,[url=http://www.poloralphlaurenoutletonline.us@#$%&/]polo @#$%& outlet[/url].
"We have lost many players. I think combining a good team, a strong financial situation and being consistent is not an easy thing to do. Especially with our environment."
Wenger was brutally honest about his team's poor defending at Norwich but the truth is he has no great depth of quality to make changes.
Arsenal will be without Kieran Gibbs and Thomas Vermaelen has made a poor start to the season, while Theo Walcott,[url=http://www.juicycoutureoutlet.us@#$%&/]juicy couture outlet[/url], Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere are all desperately hoping to return to the squad against QPR.
