    Since I was unable to finish my penance during the original 7 days due to a virus (a PC virus, Father Ted, but thanks for worrying about my health), here is "Day 5", "Why OGS is better than DB10"

    OGS is younger and faster than Dennis Bergkamp, and he seems to be a more clinical finisher. OGS also doesn't seem to get as flustered as Dennis in tight marking situations.

    Exactly 31 words.

    Two more topics and I have completed my work here (and then I can get on to the important business of enjoying that Prem title)

    And, yes, you jackals get the full enjoyment of the sig plus the avatar change.

    I always wondered what happened to the remaining posts on this topic... ;)

    CMG, just out of curiosity, what was the full extent of your computer problem? Did the virus wipe out your data, or were you able to salvage it? Being the computer geek I am, I tend to wonder about these things.

    I will add to the thread that OGS is a born-finisher, and its too bad that for whatever reason, a Ruud-Ole partnership hasn't worked out. But man, can he get the ball where it needs to go. Great low-ball crosser too.

    Coach, you are the best Arsenal supporter that i have known so far but maybe that is because you have to finish your penance. I never expected an Arsenal fan talking so good about MU.

    I feel sure that the Premiership consoles you a little, coach :)

    Almost no data loss as I religiously back up my hard drive every week. The virus was attaching itself to executables, so I ended up reformatting my entire hard drive. The real pain was reloading all of my software.

    Bergkamp's had a pretty good season, for an old man. ;) It's hard to compare him to Ole as they play different positions and Ole's been injured most of the season. A more apt comparison would be to Paul Scholes since they effectively play the same position. I do think Scholes is a better player. Bergkamp gives great passes when he has space, but doesn't respond well to physical play, and is not as good when tightly marked, as you correctly point out, Coach. Also, Dennis goes to ground too easily.

    Good Lord, if Arsenal beat United next year, we'll being seeing Father Ted have to write things like "Why Gary Neville isn't fit to wash Ashley Cole's jockstrap"...
