The Secret Revival Of The Young Gunners?

Having stormed their way to the top of the English Premier League the past weekend, Arsenal now look forward to doing the same on the European front. Sevilla stand in their way at Highbury, and look ripe for the kill after difficult times.

Or are they?

Since getting bamboozled by AC Milan in the European Super Cup (let's face it, they were not in the best mental state to deal with the game), Sevilla have gone quietly back to business. They were mighty impressive this past weekend in demolishing Recreativo, and this is a real team with no stars trying to get attention (cue Real Madrid or Barcelona).

Arsenal's young wanna-bes have done well, and even the normally jaded Soccer Rag was slightly impressed with the systematic destruction of another London team. But let's face it - it was Tottenham afterall. It won't be soon before BurgerMan gets shown the door, try as he might now by jamming his big frame while the club owner attempts to shove him out. The Gunners are playing with flair too - but perhaps they are still trying to prove the doubters wrong after Henry left - how long can this momentum last though?

I say Sevilla will show the kids they still have some way to go before Van Persie gets to talk big.
