Wenger: Chelsea are champions
21/04/2005 - 07:21:16Arsenal have already conceded the Barclays Premiership crown to Chelsea.
Manager Arsene Wenger effectively threw in the towel after last night’s goalless draw with the current leaders at Stamford Bridge.
The Highbury boss even insisted he knew the title race was over before they arrived at the ground for top-of-the-table clash.
Even though it is still mathematically possible for the reigning champions to overhaul Chelsea’s 11-point lead and retain their crown, Wenger admitted that, in his eyes at least, it is all over.
Wenger declared: “Chelsea will be worthy champions because they have been remarkably consistent. That is the most difficult thing to do in top sport.
“We have to congratulate them for what they have achieved. They will be champions. The fact they did not lose here means they will be champions – unless somebody puts a bomb here,” he joked.
