Personally, I think they are skilled enough to get a few results when they field their best squad. However, like I said earlier, they'll eventually run into trouble when the fighting on two fronts begins to take its toll. That being said, I still think they are overrated. Oddly enough, not by Spurs fans I talk to though. The overbearing cheerleaders are the media who, as per usual, are sensationalizing and over-hyping things. Except for Bale that is, but they'll soon start over trumping him too.
A good portion of the whinging done by Arsenal supporters is due to this. They see their club get ripped by the media yet their biggest rivals do things they have been doing consistently for years but their rivals are being touted as the next big thing. The other reason why they/we whinge is because we're projecting our inadequacies.
