Of course there are no quotes from Wenger but he was somehow added to the title.

Wenger 'conceded' the title a couple of weeks ago so that's why he is included. Either way, such articles and statements are bs. Unless they plan on not playing the rest of their schedules we still have to go out and win games. Of course we will but still, such statements are somewhat silly (even if they are true).

Statements like the one above are meant to take pressure off the players on those 2 teams and put more pressure on Chelsea. That, of course, is useless.

I disagree. Not everything is about mind games. Wenger has a master's degree in economics, he understands the math.
No quotes from Wenger??? :confused:
After an unusually open game, Wenger said: "The players were less nervous because we are not going for the title - we cannot compete with Chelsea.
His counterpart Ferguson agreed: "Chelsea's consistency is beyond us."

[url]Wenger and SAF concede title!.And so they should.
At past halfway through the season Arsenal are closer to the relegation zone (17 points) than they are to the top (24 points)
Meanwhile, Man Utd are 7 points better than they were at this stage in their last Championship winning season and they are STILL 13 points adrift. If we let em have 4 points for a win they'd still be behind on goal difference!
It's fun to watch them suck it up........

Does anybody know what's the record for the biggest gap between first and second, at the end of a season, in England?
I have always seen the EPL as being the kind of League where anybody can beat anybody, but with this kind of consistency from Chelsea, it really seems it's a fight for second place for everybody else.
