Arsenal fly high but the spectre of the REAL Manchester United is looming
Arsene Wenger's underrated young guns sit comfortably top of the league after eight games, two points clear with a game in hand. But Fergie's sharp-shooters are about to start firing for real.
'Sir Alex Ferguson's men would admit themselves that they have not had the best start to the season, yet they are somehow still in second place and the omens are that they will hit their true form before long' Many Tottenham fans in particular thought at the beginning of the season that Arsenal would be battling for fourth spot once again. Instead, they are proving all the critics wrong as they sit on top of the Premier League.
There is, however, a problem that most Arsenal fans must be fearing - and that's Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's men would admit themselves that they have not had the best start to the season, yet they are somehow still in second place and the omens are that they will hit their true form before long.
Despite their lack of form, they are still potentially five points behind the Gunners. The big guns in the team like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo haven't even warmed up yet and you get the feeling that when they do, as they will, the Red Devils will only get better.
Admittedly, United may only be in this position today because of other happenings in the football world. For example, the implosion of Chelsea, or the sheer haughtyness of Spurs fans suggesting they would achieve Champions League football at the end of the season because they had bought superstars like Darren Bent.
But Arsene Wenger's team (which cost less than Roy Keane's Sunderland's side to put together) seem to all be of the same standard. There are, as yet, no real superstars.
It has been said that when Thierry Henry was at Arsenal, he intimidated some of the younger players. But Arsene Wenger's new crop of superstars are minding their own business and doing something no other teams are doing - winning (with the exception of Jens Lehmann's silly error against Blackburn).
This Gunners team love playing together. Indeed, on Arsenal.com today, Emmanuel Adebayor expressed his pleasure at playing alongside Robin van Persie. You can sense a real feeling of unity, belief and respect for one another.
Having said that, any worrying Arsenal fan should prepare for the wrath of Manchester United's iron fist demolishing the Premier League in due course.
