Wenger ready for crunch period

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is aware of how quickly his side's fortunes could change.

After a topsy-turvy season, the Gunners finally seem to be on track again, heading into Wednesday's Champions League last-16 clash with AC Milan having reclaimed their place in the Premier League`s top four.

But, with so much still to play for and having been burned in the past, Wenger is aware of how cautious his side need to be. He said: "You could say that the crisis at the moment in England is a bit like fire. It moves very quickly from one club to another."
