Gallas: Be afraid
-
William Gallas believes Arsenal sent out a message to their title rivals with their battling 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Cesc Fabregas scored an 80th minute equaliser for The Gunners to keep their unbeaten start to the new season intact at Anfield.
Manchester United are next up for the Premier League leaders at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
And Gallas is confident Arsenal have proved they are capable of maintaining a title challenge for the next seven months.
"We showed everybody we can fight for the title," Gallas said.
"A lot of people wanted to see how Arsenal would react against a big team like Liverpool and we reacted very well. Maybe we can be disappointed because we didn't win."
Afraid
He added: "Everybody watched that game in front of their TV and a lot of teams will be afraid of Arsenal.
"Liverpool were maybe a little bit afraid of us and a lot of top teams will be afraid of us again.
"We play well, we can score at any time or we can play the physical game as well."
Difficult
However, the French defender admits Arsene Wenger's side still have plenty to do before they can win back the Premier League title.
"For me, it will be very difficult to win the title," he added. "There are three or four teams who can win it.
"Manchester United will be one of them - but you have another team in Chelsea. We have to think about Chelsea as well because they won 6-0 against Manchester City" -
with determination. iron rod can be carved to be needle.

Gallas Humble ?
Probably the only "humble" guy that went against mourinho...Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:William Gallas has hinted he wants to leave Arsenal after criticising Arsene Wenger's transfer policy and questioning the club's ambition.
The French defender claims several Gunners players are unhappy following the departure of Thierry Henry to Barcelona and insists Wenger's policy of buying young players will not deliver trophies.
And he revealed he plans to hold talks with the board when he returns for pre-season training to discuss his own future after becoming frustrated at Arsenal's failure to compete with title contenders Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
He told his own website: "What is sure, it is that several players are questioning the club's future.
"Around us, all the teams are recruiting but what is planned to compensate for the departure of Titi Henry?
"I am not at Arsenal to play for third place. It is necessary to recruit players of reputation because the young players have many qualities but the season is very long.
"The young players are thirsty for victories but Arsenal must obtain results to gain titles. If not, one will have to change policy and do the same as the other teams: recruit with more means.
"I will have a discussion with Arsene Wenger and board members to know the objectives of the club this season and what they wish to set up to build an even more competitive team."
And despite only joining Arsenal from Chelsea last season, Gallas indicated he may seek a move if Wenger cannot convince him the club are moving forward.
He added: "Today I am at Arsenal but I do not know what can occur tomorrow.
"All happens so quickly in the world of football."Originally posted by Slipshade:Why is this guy always complaining?
