in the players eyes they should be thinking let’s give it all we have and see what happens. that certainly didn’t happen in the chelsea game.
Of course Wenger would be talking up the chance of catching them but they are masters at bus parking. They're very hard to beat when they put their mind to it. They haven't lost a big game all season, home or away.

Even if we had beaten them we'd have had to make up 7 points in 5 games. Given their record this season it would have been a pretty spectacular collapse for us to have overtaken them. We needed them to drop some points before they played us really.
