Instead, Redknapp feels that the Blues' 3-0 win over the Gunners further backed up his feeling that the Premier League is in effect a two-horse race this season, between Chelsea and reigning champions Manchester United.
He also thinks that Spurs have every chance of breaking into the top four.
"I don't think we learned anything from the weekend. I said weeks ago I could see Chelsea and Man United fighting for the championship," he told reporters at a press conference yesterday.
"I can't see Arsenal winning the championship, you saw just how strong Chelsea are, they've got everything, and you can never write United off. I spoke to Alex [Ferguson] two weeks ago and he said he felt the same way.
"For us to get into the Champions League would be a real big achievement. Everton did it the other year. Why not? Of course it could happen, Villa and Man City could (also) get in there this year.
"There's an opportunity but it will be very hard. We have a good a chance as anybody."
Tottenham travel north to face Manchester United in the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday night, and the Spurs boss acknowledged he was thinking about tweaking his line-up for the game.
"We want to get to Wembley if we can, it's a great day out," he said.
"But it's a tough week and gives me the chance to look at one or two players."
