We never saw Arsenal as a title threat
Posted Saturday, April 23, 2011 by The Sun
ALEX FERGUSON has dismissed Arsenal as title challengers - saying Chelsea are the biggest threat to Manchester United's bid to land a record 19th league crown.
The United boss insisted: "I said a few weeks ago that Chelsea would be our main challengers but I don't know if anyone was listening.
"Now they are above Arsenal. Looking at them, Chelsea are far more experienced than Arsenal - strong team, strong experience.
"Arsenal are better footballers, but Chelsea are the better, stronger team. I recognise that both are six points behind us, both are our challengers.
"I have that slight preference for Chelsea because their fixture list is a wee bit easier.
"But they have to come to Old Trafford and that's not going to be easy for them.
"Looking behind you is not a bad thing to do with our experience.
"You have to recognise who is behind you. You can't be complacent.
"If we win against Everton we're down to only four games left, with a minimum of a six points lead. That's the way to look at it.
"You run out of games eventually."
