Yes we most definately are, and whilst I'm at it, I think we're better than Arsenal, as good as the rags and only marginally behind Chelsea but for some tweaking at right back and a truly world class midfielder. Our squad is deep, our pockets are deeper, we've won 5 out of 6 and were cheated out of the other and come January, while United, Liverpool and the rest of the football underclass are scratching around for free transfers to get them through the mid winter injury crisis, we'll be spunking money around on the best available talent once more to consolidate our push for the top and our eventual dominance of the game. If the Sheikh is truly up for the battle ahead, he will also send some of his security services to the home of Platini, execute the family pet in front of the whole family, and tell him that if he takes another swipe at us, they'll be back to finsh the job. All in all, the perfect post Christmas 'pick me up'.
