Woolwich Wanderers play a different style of football than us, they are not superhuman - just drilled in the finer points of the game.
They are more "professional" in all areas. Spurs may have skilled players but it seems to me that Arsenal always use physical strength to intercept and "take out" attacking players and attacking passes and counter attack at will.
Spurs have a naivety in defence (they always did have)
Arsenal would be more likely take out an attack with a pro-foul in an innocuous area in the opponents half or near the half way line where we seem to try to defend at close quarters in and around our own penalty area.
My beloved Spurs defending remind me of a combination of the "Keystone Cops" and "Remember The Alamo"
