Ridiculous how Arsenal have been wrote off, really is. Sure, they're considerably weaker than last season but I still consider them better than Spurs.
Out of curiosity, what have we got to do to be better than them then? Im baffled.
If you was going to do an 11 full of Spurs and Arsenal players then now days i would say there would be more Spurs players and i think thats says it all.

Injured players included or not?
So you also consider them better than Liverpool? Since we have a better team than you.

I actually made a prediction after the second or third game that Newcastle would finish 5th and Arsenal 6th. Not sure about it, but it doesn't sound ridiculous at this point in time. I would be astonished if Arsenal got fourth.

Heresy! This calls for a team vs team!
Friedel
Walker-King-Dawson-Assou Ekotto
Van Der Vaart-Modric-Parker-Bale
Defoe-Adebayor
Would you agree that's your strongest team?
I'd probably say, on paper, our best XI is:
Friedel
Walker Kaboul King BAE
Parker Sandro
VDV Modric Bale
Adebayor
Still, you posted our best 4-4-2 team apart from including Kaboul who I now rate ahead of Dawson in most aspects.
Edit* This comparison won't lead to any sensible conclusion, because I rate Parker or Sandro ahead of Lucas, and I wouldn't swap BAE for Enrique either (he fits our team). I imagine you feel the same way, only vice versa, and therefore we'll be at a stalemate I imagine.

All players included yer. I'd say
GK: Fridel
DR: Sanga
DC: King
DC: Vermaelen
DL: BAE
MC: Modric
MC: Wilshere
AM: VDV
FWL: Bale
FWR: RVP
ST: Adebayor
As a neutral, Spurs v Liverpool:
----------Reina------------
Johnson-King-Agger-Enrique
------Modric-Parker------
Lennon---Suarez-----Bale
---------Adebayor---------
Spurs v Arsenal:
---------Friedel-----------
Sagna-King--Vermaelen-BAE
-----Modric--Wilshere------
Lennon----VDV--------Bale
-----------RVP-------------
----------Reina------------
Johnson-King-Agger-Enrique
------Modric-Parker------
Lennon---Suarez-----Bale
---------Adebayor---------
Spurs v Arsenal:
---------Friedel-----------
Sagna-King--Vermaelen-BAE
-----Modric--Wilshere------
Lennon----VDV--------Bale
-----------RVP-------------
Even though I disagree with many of your choices, you still put both teams in Tottenham's favour overall.
Heard it from a neutral guys.
Parker is quality but surely Gerrard would get in there ahead of him... Also I'd probably go with Downing right wing instead of Lennon.. Sounds like I'm being biased but oh well..
Gerrard and Modric in CM? They'd lack presence and bite.
Gerrard over Modric? Never.
Yer your right. Reina, Johnson, Agger, King, Enrique, Gerrard, Parker, Modric, Suarez, Ade, Bale.
But Walker would be pushing Johnson..

Parker over say someone like Lucas (I know it seems like a no-brainer but Lucas is very efficient too.)
very close between them in all fairness, but Parker edges it cos he is better going forwards, and when you have a player like modric happy to come deep, you get an Excellent double pivot that is hard to track
