If your idea of 'consistency' is that you'll boast to your grandkids (and this is hypothetical as you've expressed your view on kids clearly) that Arsenal had some of the best players and best teams continually coming second every year but this was seen as an achievement...then that's fine.

When they grow up, and their friends are pointing out trophies their respective clubs have won, they'll come to the sad realisation that granddad was just full of bullshit, like we all eventually do
Strange analogy, especially one where you'd be happy for us to lose to everyone in the league for the benefit of a second rate trophy

I wouldn’t mind if we were talking about a champions league trophy, despite finishing 5th and 6th.

And the thing you’d tell to your grandkids is that Chelsea were a mediocre club that became a plaything for a Russian billionaire and unlike City couldn’t even build sustained success with their financial doping.


I also wouldn’t want to be taking the proverbial grandkids to watch them get smashed by Brighton at home, and say whats important is we won our first trophy in 17 years even though we probably won’t win another one for just as long.
