They'll always beat Tottenham at home because Spurs have this tradition where they have to play attacking football, and it's about as useful there as a chocolate fireguard.
Ferguson works with a huge aura, he isn't a great tactician, he just tears into young players when they aren't doing well and they would run to the ends of the Earth through fear, awe and respect. It's one reason why he constantly adds young players and recycles the team, they do what Arsenal should do. With some experienced players it eventually backfires and they leave but he replaces them and gets an extra 20% out of most.
It would be nice to be able to work in these conditions, Man Utd fans are so lucky to have this solid constant at the club and for so long, really spoiled.

Wenger: “You are always concerned about the consequences it can have on the team," (Nasri's sale) he told reporters.
“But it can as well have a positive consequence; if you are strong mentally you can increase the solidarity.
“We’ll have to fight more and that’s what you ideally want from strong mentally players.
“You cannot think only about one game in a season. The decision had a logic, that is of course business interest.
“But what you want is players who are completely committed to the long term to defend our chances."
he has defended his transfer record and said it was impossible to have concluded the sale of Nasri any quicker.
“What you forget maybe is that it doesn’t depend only on us," he said.
“We wanted to sort all these cases out very early after the summer but it wasn’t possible and the pace is not only dictated by us unfortunately.
“I’ve bought some great players as well. We have brought in [Alex] Chamberlain, you will see that he will be a great player, Gervinho as well, but we want ideally more.
“My job is to my best for the club and that’s what I’ll do, with complete belief in the team, in the players I have available and that’s the best opportunity to show as well that we are as well good enough to fight for this club.”
And he said failure to qualify for the Champions League would not be the crisis which many seem to have suggested it would be.
“The match is not critical. It’s for us an opportunity to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League and so it’s a good opportunity," he said.
"I think we can only do it with the players we have at the moment.
“They are good enough to achieve that and therefore after that we will see what we can do."
Wow.

Arsenal really need some big signings, but it looks like they will probably miss out on CL this year. They have Gibbs as LB and Traore who plays for reserve team and I don't think they have anyone else. Walcott and Arshavin doesn't impress me and their no good at all when the team loses possession of the ball. Robin van Persie will also be a lone soldier now with Cesc and Nasri gone and I also think they should've bought Stekelenburg.
