'Fans will forgive an empty trophy cabinet'

Legend says Europe more important than silverware

A TROPHY-LESS season would not be a disaster for Arsenal, according to Gunners legend Kenny Sansom.
The full back, who captained Arsenal to Littlewoods Cup glory in 1987, says European qualification is more important.
“If you are going to not win anything, it is this season,” he told the New Journal. “The main thing is to qualify for the Champions League.”
Sansom, speaking at the headquarters of England sponsors Nationwide ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup loss to Bolton, said Arsenal fans would be disappointed by a trophy-less season.
But he said they would not panic because they had plenty to look forward to with the new stadium, Thierry Henry’s pledge to stay and the possibility of summer signings.
He added: “I think Arsenal fans, if we don’t win anything, are not going to be that concerned given everything that is going to be going on in the summer.”
Sansom did however, say Spurs could finish ahead of the Gunners this season. He added: “Jol talks common sense and has got a very exciting squad and I think there is no doubt Tottenham can finish above Arsenal this season.”
Spurs will have to halt a run of four games without a win however, starting with Charlton on Sunday.
