    As an aside, I thought the camera angle at the Reebok was really good.


    Incidentally is there an award for "Uninteresting Observation of the Week"?
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

          They might be prettier but they're not better in my eyes.



          So what if they play pretty football? They lose more games than we do. Last season's table (15 points behind us, was it?) and this season's says everything we need to know.

              Ah well it's immortality of a sort (except it won't last two weeks).

                  What's that... if they win their game in hand they will be in third.

                  They have more strength in depth than any PL side.

                    It is however an interesting question as to wether it will be easier for us or them to improve enough to challenge for the league next season. They certainly have the players to break down any defence and a pattern of play in which they have at least two teams worth of players capable of playing in. They lack a dynamic midfielder to move the ball from deep to the forwards - someone to play Lampard to Gilbertos Makelele - but it is hard to see how you could drop Fabregas he is a genuinely great player, maybe he will learn to play a little deeper.

                    Although a few of their young players look like with a bit more experience they may be able to perform that role, Diaby and Denilson looked like exceptional talents last night. We don't have anything like the strength in depth of squad or anyone coming through who looks capable of stepping into our problem positions of wingers, left back (despite AFII's claims) or clinical finisher. However we do have investment and I really think that our defence is truly comparable to any as a unit. I really think with two creative (preferably wide) players we would be challenging for the league this season let alone next. Our problem has been having possession but not carving out chances. I trust Rafa to sort that out now we have the money to compete for his first choice signings.

                    Our team/squad is also more tactically flexible which I think could be very important over a season, in terms of dealing with both injuries and opposition ploys.

                      Ifs, buts and maybes. Not interested in them. We are above them in the table, have been for months, and finished way ahead of them last year. It’s clear.

                        they beat us 3-0, 3-1 & 6-3 SO how are they not better than us Polo mate. Lets admit it and move on.

                          Depends on how you mesure it really, Everton beat and drew us in our two games, does that make them better than us? Were Bolton a better team than Arsenal until last night as they had the better record over the last two seasons?

                          I think it is perfectly valid to use results against all teams as a bench mark as opposed to head to head encounters.

                          That said there are definitely things we should aim to learn from Arsenal.

                            tis true what you say but I still think we will surpass them next season, this season they have been playing much better than us to be honest
