    Arsenal are the best team in the league.
    They are easily the faves to win the league again.
    Liverpool, Leeds and Man U (and of course the Chelsea) are looking like decent top contenders, but each side has its problems.

    In defence and up front we measure up to the Arsenal. I think Henry has the slight edge on JFH, Eidur and Zola, but the Chelsea strikeforce can hold its own with the Arsenal one, and although I feel a CB's are slightly better than the Arsenal ones, our full backs are erratic at best. So overall I think our defence is comparable.

    In the middle, arsenal are awesome. Pires and Ljunberg are great players, our wingers Zenden, Gronks and De Lucas have a way to go to reach their level. Lampard is good, in fact is the only mid player for us, who I'm totally happy with. Petit is a good player, but seems only able/willing to play one in every 6 games, and then whinges he needs more rest. At least Viera actually STARTS most games :)
    Our lack of real depth and quality in the midfield is the real difference between us and Arsenal.

    On current form...from the games I've seen :)
