According to Arsenal manager, Wenger, Arsenal are well capable of challenging on all four fronts this season, even though the London side are quite short on numbers in the striking department. Speaking ahead of their trip to face newly promoted side, Leicester, Wenger said "We live in a society of opinions. People are better informed today - many of them are even better informed than I am! All the opinions do not necessarily mean that people are right. Everybody is entitled to have an opinion but that doesn't necessarily mean that their opinion is right. In fact, many opinions have been wrong in the past [and] people have never come out and said 'sorry, I was wrong'. The easiest thing to do is have an opinion."

Wenger said this after his star striker Giroud was ruled out until 2015 earlier in this week, adding to the growing injury list, which includes, Gibbs and Walcott.
