Vieira lets his football do the talking

ARSENAL captain Patrick Vieira is steering clear of any war of words over which is the best team in the Barclaycard Premiership as he insists only trophies will count at the end of the season.

Even though Arsenal hold a nine-point lead at the top of the table, with United a further three points behind second-placed Chelsea, Vieira is refusing to take anything for granted just yet.

The Gunners' advantage seems to make a mockery of Ryan Giggs' claim that "we still have the best players in the country at United and, if we play to our best, then I believe we're the top team."
