The league table never lies but Patrick Vieira does.

Arsenal Captain Patrick Vieira has backed his manager's verdict that Arsenal are the best team in England.

"I have seen Manchester United so many times on television this season and they were playing really poor football - really rubbish," he said.

"When I was watching they just did not play well. But United have this or that player who comes up with a trick, they score a goal and then they win one-nil or two-nil.

"I think that was the difference this season. Arsenal are the better team.

"In fact, there is no doubt that we are the best football team in England.

"Manchester United have, how can I say it, more hunger than we do.
