My point being is that if you look at the teams in the premier league this season far fewer of them have been able to get a big scalp than in previous seasons. If you look at the sides in the top 5, they would go to teams outside the top 7 expecting to get all three points and more often than not they did.
We gained 10 away wins in the league, half of which came against in the last ten games most of which were teams in the lower half of the table....don't get me wrong i am not trying to belittle what Wenger has acheived with the average squad (without doubt the worst since he became manager) but these things need to be looked at in context.
