Of course some of this was pre-game bravado but the gap was never as big as reported, and the reaction to their beating Madrid was as excessive as the nonsense written at times about us.
There was a terrible one in the Times preaching how Pochettino made every player he touched better and every player now under Wenger is going backwards. To illustrate his point, the writer used the statistic of Özil assists for Real Madrid v the number he has made for Arsenal. Of course, it is considerably fewer for the latter. He made the concession that the English league may be harder - didn't mention other small factors like Cristiano Ronaldo. ****ing idiot - the writer not you

ftr it is 11 straight league wins at the Emirates (15 wins two draws in all comps since out last loss)
