Redknapp: Chelsea and Utd are favourites

Sat, 31 Oct 15:35:14 2009

Harry Redknapp expects Manchester United or Chelsea to be Barclays Premier League champions this season rather than Arsenal - and he believes there could also be a change to the traditional top four.

Tottenham boss Redknapp is not writing off the chances of his club's bitter rivals but feels United or Chelsea will be competing for the title.

"I think Arsenal are potential winners but personally I dont think they will win it, that's only my opinion," he said. "I'm not writing them off, they've got a good chance. But I think the winners will come from Chelsea or Manchester United."

He added: "That's how I see it personally, I've been wrong a million times before, I could well be wrong but I see those two.

"Chelsea are powerful, they are men, you just feel they have that power. I think they will take all the beating."

While Chelsea have "men" in their ranks, Redknapp feels Arsenal's inexperience is a weakness.

"I don't think it's a soft centre, I think it's maybe a little bit of a lack of experience still," he said. "They're not an experienced team, it's still a young team, a fantastic young team.

"But I just feel Chelsea and Man United, they have players who have been there and done it all and been the full course in the championship race and that's where I think the winners will come from.

"And Liverpool, I'm not writing them off but I do fancy one of the two."

  9. Harry should learn how to talk less and do more like he­ has been doing in the past and getting results, he­ should now focus on the next game, talk less about an­ established Arsenal team, that have this season­ offloaded there biggest liability (Adebayor)

  10. Harry is losing the plot again, its between the Arsenal­ and Chelsea this season, mark my words. United have­ scraped a few results in the last few minutes+; Arsenal­ were unlucky to lose to them. United will finish in the­ top 4 though I feel with Liverpool. Spurs will scrape­ in about 7th/8th.

  11. inexperience? These Arsenal guys have played enough PL­ games now and most play internationally. They cant be­ that inexperienced.

  12. Spurs have not won any trips to a 'Big Four'­ side in their last 64 attempts, since their 2-1 win at­ Anfield on August 25, 1993

    That's 16­ years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Hahaha, Harry, just before you play Arsenal - How­ convenient. Trying to play some mind-games are we???

  18. shut up you man utd fool its chelsea`s title

    From donna.sellers, on Sat 31 Oct 9:43AM

  19. Harry are you announcing to all the the loyal Spurs­ following that in your view (even considering your­ league position)you have not a hope in hell of winning­ it and thats what you think of your team? I'd be­ cancelling his contract immediately if I was the­ board.Not exactly instilling a lot of confidence is­ it?
    Id be pretty annoyed if I was a Spurs fan. I mean­ surely the last thing one gives up is hope...And Harry­ seems to have given up already.
