Redknapp and Wenger admit Spurs can win title

Harry Redknapp & Arsene Wenger both admitted Tottenham could win the Premier League aft the White Hart Lane club came fr 2 down 2 beat Arsenal 3-2 on Saturday.

Arsenal appeared 2 be cruising when Samir Nasri & Marouane Chamakh handed them a 2-0 advantage @ HT, but then the Gunners capitulated as Tottenham came roaring back. Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart & Younes Kaboul all found the net, sending Spurs within 4 points of Arsenal.

Redknapp bullishly claimed his side could now go on 2 catch Chelsea, & Wenger did not disagree, although he preferred 2 focus on the mistakes of his players.

"There are 10 teams who k win the championship mathematically. Tottenham is 1 of them," the Arsenal manager said. "I m convinced we r in it, but there r chances in the championship you 1 2 take.

"If you look @ the stats & the numbers, it is veri difficult 2 understand how we lost tis game - a drop in concentration, some basic errors, some bad luck as well. You r a bit speechless 2 re-analyse the game. It is a mystery hw u k lose a game like tat.

"If you look @ the clear-cut chances tat Tottenham had 2day, it is difficult 2 understand hw we k concede 3 goals, but we lost it & we k only look @ ourselves. We could not maintain the focus nor the urgency 4 90 mins becos some players dropped. I believe tat overall we delivered a performance expected in a game like tat quality-wise. However, it was a mixture of fatigue in the 2nd half & also a lack of cautiousness."

Given Spurs' lacklustre 1st half, Redknapp could hv focused on the negatives in his post-match summary, but he instead chose 2 challenge his players 2 win Tottenham's 1st Premier League title.

"It's wide open tis year," Redknapp said. "Chelsea r not as good as they were; Man United r not as good as they were 3 or 4 yrs ago. They're still excellent teams but they're not the force they were. They were almost invincible, the pair of them.

"I think Tottenham r now getting closer & the championship is wide open. I said tat 2 the players yesterday morning. 'Why can't you win the championship? Who says you can't?' It's wide open 4 somebody who k put a run 2gether. It's there 4 some1 2 hv real go @ it tis year. Why should we all be fearful & keep saying 'We can't win it'?'

"I wouldn't be saying it if we had a bad group of players. I'm a realist; I'm not dreaming. It's difficult 2 do but it's not impossible. Tis is the best chance any1's going 2 get tis year. There's very little 2 choose between the top 5 or 6 teams @ the moment."

I know where you are coming from.

Unfortunately RH does not have the same confidence or should i say in the same league as these fellow counterparts.

After the win against Chelsea, i can sense his "disbelief" afterwards which cause the downwards spiral in our next match loss.

Now after finishing off the hammers, nxt up is a team a few times better than them.

was impressed by spur y'day...

they were away at emirates yet harry fielded an attacking lineup, a midfield consist of jenas (not really a defensive player), bale, lennon, modric and vdv supporting the lone striker.
was telling my fren tat they're going to win the match or kenna overrun in midfield and get thrashed.
and when they're 0-2 down HT, they put in another striker in defoe. hat off to harry for the brave decision..

Honestly, I don't think Spurs are that great, just that everyone in the league is slipping up on major banana skins. Bale and VDV are smoking hot but I believe this is a matter of form rather than class. Once defences respond to cope with them, they will be much less effective.

Spurs' defence is still a shambles and we should be able to score against them. Players are Crouch and Keane are woefully off form and Defoe is coming back from injury. And Lennon is massively overrated.

Let's go to WHL and give it a real go.

u r rite, their defense is their weakness, tat;s y we must go to their home and attack them, can not sit back defend and inviting them to attack us...
but seeing RH's tactic in our away games, i'm worried..

we've to stop their 2 most on form and dangerous players, vdv & bale:-
vdv is class but he need space to work his magic, so we can't give him too much time on the ball to pass it around...
bale is fast, he'll just push the ball pass the defender and run, so defender can easily get himself booked if he commit himself into tackles and miss the ball...

None of our defenders have the pace to keep up with him.
Unless RH comes up with a strategy to contain him I dun tink we can win this game.

We should play mind games with Spurs. I don't understand why Harry Redknapp will say that Spurs can be champions. True, they are good but few, if any, of their players have not had the experience of winning the league. It's good for a manager to show confidence in his team but I think Harry Redknapp just piled on unnecessary media scrutiny on his players. It can very stressful when people expect you to win and you draw.

So let's play up his words. Just say we will be welcoming the Champions. Let our players form 2 rows and welcome the Spurs team on the pitch. Let's play on their minds a bit. Anyone who had competed in sports will know this is a good way of 'psycho' the other team. But I doubt Roy Hogson had the intelligence to do this. He keeps apologising for his comments, doesn't he? First to Rafa, then to Johnson.

I know how Rafa will react to Harry's comments that Spurs will be champions. It goes.

1. It's a fact that Spurs had never won the league before.

2. It's a fact that Spurs had only just start playing in the Champions League this year.

3. It's a fact...

[joew2005]

there r 2 things tat i m certain .....
one - RH would take tat taking a point fr the trip 2 WHL is a veri veri BIG achievement.
two - no matter hw good spurs played during the last weekend,i don't think they k win the premiership title tis season, nor k they do it next season.

I'm not rubbing it in. Liverpool (my team) has never won the EPL before too. Worse, we aren't in the Champions League this year. Read again. My fact statements are meant to poke fun at Rafa, not Spurs.

I think Spurs could be nearer the top this season given the slipups happening at all the grounds so far. I don't reckon they will win it though. But after seeing them struggle with horrific injuries and delivering their promise for so many recent seasons, I think things are coming together for them since last season. So congrats
