Former Arsenal manager George Graham believes that the Gunners' inconsistent season will not be the downfall for boss Arsene Wenger.

The North London side suffered a blow in their Champions League campaign when they were beaten 4-0 by AC Milan in the first leg of their round-of-16 meeting.

"The club really still rate him very, very highly and rightly so," Graham told BBC Radio Five Live. "If he left Arsenal tomorrow the top sides in Spain and Italy would be after him. But sometimes you have done as much as you can do at a club. He's still an excellent manager."

Following the match, Wenger stated that the Gunners have an unrealistic chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
