Mikel Arteta has dismissed Thierry Henry's fears that emotion will get the better of Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
With the gap now just four points, Manchester City are hot on the Gunners' heels after two slip-ups away to Liverpool and West Ham. Squandering 2-0 leads in each game, Arsenal's players have faced questions over their mental strength, with Gunners legend Henry among those fearing a late collapse as the pressure dial ramps up.
"Since the start of the season I've been talking about emotions and how you don't win league titles with emotion. I'm sorry, but you don't," Henry, formerly a team-mate of Arteta's, declared on CBS Sports. "You can win a cup with emotions but not a 38-game season. You can't be too emotional and we've seen recently Arsenal have been too emotional.
