Arsenal

[BG1973]

We were exceptional twice and didn't win.

I'd have been sickened if their one 'good' season was enough. Like Leicester.

[SB]

Yeah they’ve got plenty of mouthy supporters that have laughed at us being runners up so just giving them a bit back

[dom9]

Christ, you come across like a bunch of Evertonians

That's fair. It would have been somewhat galling.

Given our implosion in the past month, I'm not too unhappy with how things have panned out personally.

Let the cheats have their trinket and their tainted records, and let the rest of us keep our heads held high.

[Yozza]

Yep. I don't like Arsenal by any means, but they are winding up to be the best of the rest, just like we were.

Sounds like Pep might call it a day after next season too, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Arsenal having their "era" next.

And give me them over the Mancs or Chelsea any day.

Nah - it'll be ours again under Slot

[Angryred]

I'm expecting Chelsea to come good as they looked the business lately, a couple of smart recruits in defence then they will be smoking.

You sound like someone who supports all of the English teams in the Europe because it’s good for the league.

[Mark79]

Crystal Palace are winning the league next season*


*they might not

OK...

Or is it a case that they were so bad for a chunk of the season that when they finally started beating teams, mostly from the bottom half of the table, that achieving results that normally would simply be expected of them looks better than it is?

[ChesterDave]

For all of Arsenal's good effort in pushing the financial dopers all the way it can't be escaped they have been absolutely happy to play a rapist all season

[Kenneth]

Parking the bus against city (when they celebrated the draw like a win) was a fatal mistake. We went after everyone, never did we play for a draw and if you want to succeed as underdogs (which everyone but city is in the PL now) then you have to believe that you can win every game and play like it, not do the maths and do what you think is enough.

It will be interesting to see how they get on physically next year. That’s two intense seasons without major injuries and we’ve seen the physical toll that it can take.

Maybe, from that perspective!

I don't mind Arsenal as a club, it's Arteta who comes across as a classless, agro, toxic prick. I'm glad they didn't win because of him but they have a great side in fairness. It's just easier when City win because nobody really cares, it's kind alike meh they won again so what.
