Arsenal comments were not arrogant – Evra

(17-12-2010) Patrice Evra has fuelled the fire of his feud with Arsenal by claiming he was right in his assumption that they are not a title threat. The French left-back mocked the Gunners for failing to win a trophy since 2005 in the run up to the recent meeting between the two clubs (won 1-0 by United). "I think we confirmed what I'd said before the match,” the 29-year-old told the Sun newspaper on Thursday. "I think Arsenal played really well, you shouldn't neglect that, but we were better. I really say that without any arrogance.” He added: "I heard people saying that what I said was below the belt, but that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to show how much I believe in my team, in their potential and strength.” United currently top the EPL, two points ahead of Arsenal and with a game in hand.
