Houllier:Gunners clash not 'make or break'

The French manager, who insists that his comments were taken out of context by media sources, believes that the Premiership crown cannot be won or lost as early as October.

Houllier said: "My comments after Charlton were taken completely out of context. The title is not won in September or October. What I said was that this was a very important game coming up for us, but I certainly wasn't saying that anything would be decided by what happens."
