Harry Redknapp puts pressure on Arsene Wenger with title taunt

30 November 2009
Yesterday's 3-0 defeat to Chelsea has left Arsenal 11 points behind Carlo Ancelotti's Premier League leaders and a point adrift of Spurs.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is refusing to give up on the title but Redknapp said: "I can't see them winning the championship now. You saw yesterday how strong and powerful Chelsea are.
"I don't think we learned anything new from yesterday's game. I said a few weeks ago Chelsea and Manchester United would fight it out and I am sure that's the way it's going to be. United will chase them all the way and you can never write them off. You can see those two pulling away."
Although Liverpool, another of the Big Four, won 2-0 at Everton yesterday they are still three points behind Spurs, who drew 1-1 at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Redknapp said: "I see no reason why Tottenham can't finish in the top four. Someone can get in there this year.
"The top four are always very strong but I believe we could do it, although it will still be difficult."
Spurs take on Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup tomorrow but Redknapp would prefer a place in the Champions League next season over winning the trophy.
He added: "To get in the Champions League would be a really big achievement. Everton did it the other year so it'd be great if we could do it as well."
