Fabregas: It's too early for title talk

Wayne Veysey, Evening Standard
26.10.07

Cesc Fabregas today declared anything less than winning the league would be a "disappointment" for Arsenal this season, but stressed it was too early to talk about the title.

The Gunners' bid steps up another level with Sunday's visit to Liverpool as they begin a period of eight away games in their next 10 fixtures.

Arsenal have claimed 25 points from a possible 27 to climb to the top of the Premier League and Fabregas admits that expectations are now high.

The Spain midfielder told Standard Sport: "Second position would be a disappointment. You compare it to the last two years it could be good progress. But we don't want good progress. We want to win the league.

"But, for me, there is no point talking about it now. There are just nine games played. Now it is too early. We must still go away to a lot of places."
