300 NOT OUT FOR ARTETA BUT GUNNERS BOSS WANTS MORE

MIKEL ARTETA admitted taking charge of his 300th game as Arsenal manager matters little - because he has not won enough trophies.

The Spaniard has spent almost six years at the helm but his only piece of silverware remains the FA Cup he secured in his first six months in the job. Arsenal have finished as runners-up in the Premier League for the past three seasons, while Arteta reaches his milestone with the highest win percentage of any permanent Gunners manager - 58.6 per cent.

Victory at home to West Ham today would also move them top of the table, at least temporarily with Liverpool going to Chelsea in the evening kickoff. But Arteta conceded that landing more silverware was the only way he will have a chance of staying in the hotseat for another 300 matches.
