The player then admitted that the only way for Arsenal to win anything, was if the team belived in themselves and really pushed each other till the last day of the season.
"We've been so close, the Carling Cup last year when I was injured, and against Chelsea in the [2007] final, when I got my first goal. Nearly there. So it's got to be this year. It has to be. We've got to believe we can do it with the slow start we've had."
