		<description>Oh dear, some of your worst fears have been realized; this asinine blog entry ended up on Arsenal newsnow feeds.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where to begin?  Recent history would be a good start.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last season we finished ahead of you by 21 points. Our goal differential was superior to yours by 31 goals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The season before we finished ahead of you by 40 points! Our goal differential was superior to yours by 38 goals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To put that into pespective, you only finished 35 points ahead of Derby County, the worst Premiership team ever. That means you can be better compared to that Derby team than you can the mighty Arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or how about we compare the last 5 seasons, including your magical &quot;we would have had 4th if not for lasagne&quot; season. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the last 5 seasons, Spurs have beaten their PL opponents by a combined 29 goals, while Arsenal have beaten theirs by a combined 190 goals! That&#039;s over 6 times better! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR US; STOP PRETENDING YOU ARE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on, let&#039;s have a look at your pick of the joint squad, where you ridiculously chose 7 Spurs players for inclusion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#039;s start in goal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gomes may be a decent shot stopper, but he gives up far too many easy goals for you to say he&#039;s better than Almunia.  I guess you could say even, but there&#039;s no way you can put Gomes ahead.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Across the back, the 4 included has to include Sagna, Gallas and Clichy. As the jury is still out on Vermaelen, I&#039;ll give you Woodgate as the other Center Half.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making claims such as Ledley King being better than William Gallas are the sorts of claims that get Spurs supporters ridiculed by the rest of the football world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Midfield: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fabregas and Arshavin are miles ahead of anyone you&#039;ve got so they&#039;re both obviously included.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A healthy Rosicky walks into the team as well, but, seeing a how he hasn&#039;t been healthy for the last two seasons and is now out for another 4 weeks (if we&#039;re lucky) I&#039;ll leave him off.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only a Spurs supporter would take Lennon over Walcott.  Both players are lacking in certain areas, but Walcott is the better player and has the bigger upside.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the 4th midfield position, Nasri had a better first season in the Prem than did Modric, but, if you insist upon having an enforcer in the middle, then I suppose you could include Palacios.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up front is where you really get delusional.  Robin van Persie and Eduardo are two of the best forwards in world football, yet you place them behind Peter Crouch and Jermaine f*cking Defoe.  ON WHAT BASIS? RVP and Eduardo are international superstars and Defoe and Crouch are England also-rans.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#039;s like groundhog summer with some of you guys.  You set yourselves up for unbelievable disappointment each and every summer.</description>

		<description>Can&#039;t believe i&#039;m getting drawn into this. Arsenal have sold sold sold. Now correct me if i&#039;m wrong but in both games last season were each side pretty level after 120 odd mins. Now being as Arsenal have not really strengthened (in fact they have weakened)and spurs have without doubt strengthened, then does that not make this a pointless discussion???</description>

		<description>Lets look at evolution not revolution, which has been our problem. A complete overhaul of the squad each year gives no stability - hence poor starts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave Modric on the left and let him drift in and cause problems.&lt;br /&gt;Another defensive midfielder means a loss of creativity unless you get a Gerrard type player (and they&#039;re like rocking horse sh1t)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Young and Cole wont be coming to the lane so lets forget that idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have options so lets use them before adding moe to the conundrum</description>
