Defender hopeful of title challenge
William Gallas has backed Arsenal to prove their critics wrong this season.Arsenal have been written off as title hopefuls in some quarters following the loss of talisman Thierry Henry.
However, Gallas is confident they have learned from the mistakes of the past and that they can mount a serious title challenge.
"In the past we have relied too much on lovely football to see us through," Gallas told The Sun.
"But we have learned from last season. Sometimes you have to fight to achieve success.
"Some people have claimed this club is on a downward spiral. But there is an enormous determination to put things right.
"Last season we were behind the leaders too early. We can't let that happen again."
