Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says results show Arsenal’s growing confidence

It was the first time the Frenchman has beaten Jose Mourinho in 14 encounters, a losing streak that last year prompted the Chelsea manager to label Wenger a “specialist in failure”.

“I shook a few hands today after the game, but nothing special there, just that’s it”, he said. He has an intimidating presence, that is for sure.

Chelsea pressed for an equaliser but looked short of menace in front of goal with Spain striker Diego Costa sidelined by injury. “That’s the kind of charisma he has”.

The 68-year-old Redknapp resigned from QPR in February with the club second bottom of the Premier League. Whatever happens this promises to be a fascinating season for Arsenal fans.

Yes, because the Community Shield isn’t just a useless trophy, the clubs from England want to win it and usually put a lot of effort in the deciding match. We lost the community shield, we were unlucky but we have to think about [the league].

Arsene Wenger has hit back at Jose Mourinho after his claims Arsenal “left their philosophy in the dressing room” in Sunday’s Community Shield win.

Former Arsenal forward Alan Smith told the Daily Telegraph that he feels the test over whether his old team can win the title this season will be a mental one.

Cech has given a couple of reasons as to why he chose No. 33 as his shirt number, tweeting that he’s starting a “new chapter at 33 years of age with 333 games in the Premier League…” Cech has signed with Arsenal. “A game like that against Chelsea is always important because they are a good side and it’s great to come away with some silverware”. Fabregas is now with Chelsea, per Arsenal’s official website. The Poland worldwide, prone to mistakes, was sidelined last season after photos of him smoking were published in the media.

“The new role that I have, with the arrival of Alexis, the coach used me more in the middle area of the field”.

Wenger, who confirmed that Danny Welbeck (knee) will not be fit for the showdown at Wembley, also refuted suggestions that Southampton had enquired about taking defender Chambers back on loan following his switch to the Emirates Stadium last July.

He then netted 42 goals in as many matches as Arsenal went on to be crowned champions for the third season in succession.

“As long as I get it… every time in press conferences, it can have an impact on the team”, he said.
