:: WInterburn - White Hart Lane holds no fear for us (Goal) :: I dont think theres ever been a fear factor, he told Goal. If you look at Arsenals record, and Im not just saying this because I played for Arsenal, it is just absolutely amazing against Tottenham - despite them coming back into it in the last few years. I dont think Arsenal have that fear factor there. Theyve won the title there, theyve won games there, I think Arsenal believe that if they play to the best of their abilities they will win. Theres a lot going on at Tottenham at the moment as well, theres some uncertainty there, and I think thats what Arsenal need to use to their advantage at the weekend. But with a player like Bale, an individual player in the form that he was in at the time, he had that difference to turn the game on its head very quickly. Have Tottenham got that player at the moment? I dont know, certainly not as good as Bale. Arsenal were beaten by Stoke City in their last Premier League outing and Winterburn readily admits his former side are the outsiders in the title race - but remains confident of finishing top come May. They are still in the title race, theres no doubt about that, he added. I think theyll be one of the outsiders for it now, simply because of where theyve been through most of the season and where they are now. Theyve dropped a few points, people are looking at their injury list and a lot of people feel Chelsea and Manchester City are stronger than them, while Liverpool are in really good form. But, importantly, if you look at their fixture list coming up its incredibly difficult. They are the outsiders but theyre still in the title race. I think its easy to dismiss teams at the end of the season, and to say oh well, I told you so, they were never in the title race. They are in the title race. But whether theyll be strong enough and have enough belief to be able to come through this difficult period and overtake the other three teams... many will have doubts. Its just a case of sitting back and waiting.
