Stronger than United

With the exception of GK and ST, we've got to be stronger in pretty much every other area of the park than them.

RVP can't win the league for them again.

We were not far from Chélski and City last year - if we keep our top players fit how do people rate our chances of finishing in the top 3?

It's much closer than last year - I think Arsenal will be picking up more points in those '6-pointers' which will make the league far tighter towards the top

I'm interested to see how Moyes deploys the team with Fellaini coming into the fold. Will it be a more direct style of play?

We will just get fellaini to elbow ozil probably.

That is one of the most biased things I have read on this site...

De Gea just edges it?

Sagna over Rafael?

Arteta over Carrick?

Win something... Then maybe you can claim to having a stronger squad.
UTD won the league by a country mile with these players. Arsenal have to prove themselves to the champions and everyone else. Win something.
End of May. Lets see...

Yeah but StringerBell that means I have to wait until the earliest of February and the latest of May before I can even talk about it?

that's just boring!

In fairness though V us United fans hear a lot of this our team is better than yours talk (or we have more in an XI ect.) for years now....

For years we have been finishing above you and generally doing better than you as well....

By all means talk but have something real to base it on.

I hear you, but I don't make the rules.
That's when the trophies are handed out.
And surely you learnt that after beating spurs, a weaker team can have it's day.
As you saw Liverpool do a job on us the other day...

But you know what I'm saying. Holding a trophy at the end. Saying you're number 1.
No one can dispute it. No witty comebacks. Facts is facts.
E.G. Man Utd - Champions. Nuff said.

We once had a squad with Veron and Van Nistlerooy. That alone beats most teams on paper.
Didn't really work out did it?
But makes for a cracking season, cos I'm a glass is half full kinda guy, I see it as teams desperately needed to reinforce after UTD walked the Title last term.
Maybe the playing field has evened out...
We at UTD love a challenge...

It's gonna be an interesting season anyway. Would love to be able to look forward and see what happens but that would rather spoil it all

Man U probably are still stronger than us but I'm just feeling pretty good about the Arsenal team right now

posted on 3/9/13

I think you have made some improvements and will be a better team for it

I think the really exciting thing for Arsenal fans is that transfer windows should now become something to enjoy for Arsenal fans rather than dread as I expect more buying and less selling from them over the next few years.

Well for years like Utd arsenal had a Midfield issue, and more recently a defensive issue, but they were always 2 quality players away from mounting a serious challenge IMO.
Not necessarily the strongest man for man, but a team that's just as dangerous.
Maybe you've found your man... We'll see.
