Benchmark focus off Manchester United....Good or Bad?

[LABOB]

soccernet story saying that Arsenal are the benchmark nowadays.-&gt;<a href="http://www.soccernet.com/england/news/2002/0927/20020927thfcafchoddle.html" target="_blank">web page</a>


My thoughts are is that it's great news....

I'm sure that it's much more focus taken away from the game plan of MU thus giving MU a slightly more element of suprise in their technique....

Great news ....what do you all think?

its interesting, teams should realistically be coming to OT more confident these days and attacking us more.
I dont think well ever be able to loose our cup final disadvantage though.

It works in our favour when it comes to the press.Its only a matter of time before the Arse slip-up and the press will crucify them .

 

[Ever hopefull]

Arsenal are setting the standard at the moment and have been for the past year. But that doesn't mean the media focus will lessen. Even in the 80's when we were a pretty poor side the media still loved it when we lost.
