00:00How do you look at the position you're in yourselves at the moment?
00:04A few weeks ago we were talking about you having an 8 or 9-point advantage,
00:08and this weekend Chelsea could feasibly be above you in the table when you kick off on Sunday.
00:13Yeah, I look at it like I've said for three, four, five months,
00:17just the table after 19 games, because then everybody played the same opponents.
00:22Probably we all had a bit of the same bad luck and a bit of the same luck.
00:27That means Arsenal, for example, had a lot of red cards in the beginning of the season,
00:31that's why they dropped points.
00:33Now we were unfortunate to receive a red card, and we dropped points as well.
00:40We still have Tottenham away, which were games that,
00:45I compare it now with Arsenal, had to play in the beginning of the season.
00:48Chelsea already played there, so, yeah, don't look at it where you were during the season,
00:56it's about where you are at the end of the season,
00:58but the best other moment to judge the league table is halfway.
