Wenger rues missed opportunity

Arsene Wenger admits that come May he will look back on this season as a huge missed opportunity for Arsenal to have ended their nine-year wait for a Barclays Premier League title.

Wenger's name became synonymous with success during his early years at Arsenal, but the Gunners are no longer considered realistic title challengers and they have not won a trophy of any kind in seven-and-a-half years.

"I saw Tottenham v Manchester United and you think (about) the difference between us and Manchester United when you see them play...," Wenger said. "It was a fantastic opportunity (to win the league) this season. To catch Manchester United now is out of sight at the moment."
