That's my take on it, now to everyone who's got them in the top4.. why?

Well I guess there is a difference in prospective. I think Arsenal were playing good football and didn't miss henry much until RVP got injured. They were playing some great one touch passing football and created chances for fun. The only thing lacking was a leader and a finisher.
Thierry Henry is a horrible captain, he whines and totally lacks leadership. I never doubt that he is a great player, but his career goes downhill from now (he even became a bit slower when he made the return last season). Wenger has shrewdly replaced him with Dudu (da silva) who is a prolific goal scorer and a natural finisher. Now I know Arsenal still need 2-3 amazing players for different positions if they are to challenge for the title. However right now they have a finisher which can apply the finishing touch to a move and they are to be hard to beat. I personally think Henry's departure is a blessing in disguise.
