Petr Cech takes shot at Arsenal

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has taunted Arsenal by claiming that he'd rather win trophies than have stability.

The Blues have been through 13 managers since Arsene Wenger took over in North London in 1996, although should Chelsea win the Europa League on Wednesday, they will have picked up 10 pieces of silverware since the Gunners' last honour in 2005.

While he was full of praise for the way in which Arsenal operate, Cech insists that he would rather win titles at Stamford Bridge.

"If you see the stability and organisation and the control Arsenal have it's amazing," Cech told the Daily Star. "But if you ask their fans about the last eight years, they'd say they've not won anything and they don't like that.

"In a way, we can always say we'd have liked to have had more stability. But we always seem to get a trophy. Our fans may say, 'Yes, we'd like to see more stability,' but we'd rather have the cups'. It's very hard to choose.

"The ideal situation is the Manchester United scenario where you have the same manager and you win a large number of trophies. But we seem to prove all these things wrong. It just shows at Chelsea that everybody is trying to do his best, no matter who the manager is, no matter how the season goes. The easiest way to cure the problem is shock therapy, as in change the manager."

Cech has 12 winner's medals at Chelsea.
