"We've seen before that they've been in the top two until February or March and then faded away," Rooney said.

He doesn't seem to be buying into their great early season form as he points out times when they've got off to a flyers in the past and subsequently faded come spring.
What's caught my attention in comparison to past seasons, is their ability to defend and their grit which has always been their undoing. Personally, I see this Arsenal team (bar injuries) being right up there come may and not fade as much as some may think.
Arsenal; the real deal or the same old, same old?

I think we will improve as the season goes on but to suggest we are good enough to take points at Chelsea and Arsenal is quite naive right now.
-------------------------------------------
You think so?
Haha did you not see Robb's wheel of fortuneany team can beat any team.
If Basel can win there I'm sure we can. Arsenal could too, but I don't think they will. And that is from watching Arsenal and Chelsea over the years, albeit sporadically, and knowing Wenger and Mourinho's styles.
I think Mourinho, like SAF, knows how to beat Arsenal.
Has Wenger ever beaten Mourinho?
Man City are awesome at home as I've said.
I can look at the facts, and go with the form guide from this season, but that would be as foolish as going with instincts in the big games.
Man United v Liverpool, formbook out of the window.
Did you expect Arsenal to turn Dortmund over.
I can only use what is in front of me and base MY opinion on MY instincts of interpreting the stats and facts.
Call it gut instinct or whatever you want, I can't use anything else really can I?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok be honest what were your instincts in Arsenals games vs Liverpool & Dortmund?
I think you'll find that your instincts are just as biased as you are
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My instincts might be biased but they were pretty good yesterday eh?
