Arsenal

I live in North London, and support Arsenal Football Club - no mis-match there. The difference arises in my opinion and the newspapers and the players' performances :). I believe they are doing rather well - they defeated Man Utd., Chelsea and drew at Liverpool over the weekend. They are 8 points behind and lying 5th in the English Premiership table. The key point that people forget is that they are a very young team, and a big chunk of this team is missing: Hleb and Flamini left at the beginning of the season, and Walcott, Rosicky and Diaby have been off for some time. With Fabregas picking up an injury and Adebayor getting (unfairly) red-carded, the team is even thinner. In weekend's Liverpool game, what impressed me most was when we fell to 10 men, the likes to Nasri and Denilson stepped up (I have never seen Denilson play so well) and played with 'hand-brakes off'. There's room for optimism.
