They were so big, powerful, quick, strong.

You always went onto a pitch and thought, what area of the game are you better than?

And normally if a team's really good technically, you think you can out-muscle them, out-fight them.

But with that Arsenal team, it was such a powerful team as well and pace-wise and

You know, the achievement of going unbeaten.

I mean, as Gary says, you're always going to lose games in a Premier League season.

And the thing that makes it so tough is, I mean, you could get so close, as Liverpool did this season, and the Wofford things happened.

But I do feel over the last couple of years, I think teams are getting closer to it.

You know, obviously, how tough it is.

But it feels now the rules of winning the Premier League have changed from maybe losing five or six games.

It's now got to two or three.

so I think teams are getting closer to it but as Gary mentioned what happens with Liverpool just shows how tough it is how strong Liverpool have been this season they go to a team near the bottom of the league and they get beat convincingly and you know that one defeat then all of a sudden the Arsenal supporters I think Arsenal's Twitter that night was quite pleased really and rightly so because it's something special associated with the club and that team

Yeah, it is.

I mentioned this last week.

I think people in football would love Steve Bruce to get a chance.

But if you're looking at owners coming in and whether it was football or any business, I always feel if that person is not the guy you want to manage your club, why?

so to just stop doing what you want to do right from the beginning instead of maybe giving steve bruce 100 200 300 million and he's not your guy and you're doing it just to appease people in some way so people don't criticize you for changing a manager straight away i think the new regime comes in and they don't feel steve bruce is the the man they want to take them exactly where they want to go they've got every right to change that if they do

believe Steve Bruce is the right man happy days for everyone as I said people would love to see him get given a chance but I don't think new owners coming to Newcastle should be criticised if they change the manager they want to hit the ground running and Pochettino was the best possible manager I think Newcastle could get right at this moment he's available you're talking about Pochettino actually saying almost saying he would like the job

uh i mean at this moment pochettino is getting linked with bigger jobs than newcastle and the newcastle job even though there's great excitement up there and i'm pleased for them in some ways but it won't be straight away right to the top there'll be lots of players who come in who don't work who cost lots of money and you'll have to replace and that's just the building process i think the the perfect example of that is is what happened at man city and

A similar situation with Mark Hughes.
