A couple of observations

[Xhaka Can’t]

We were the 3rd best team last season.

In the league, yes.

Across all four competitions, no.

That's what I said.

And for context Chelsea have bombed out of the CL group stage yet are above us in the league so where does the truth lie? Probably somewhere in the middle I suspect.

They have played much better football than us this season imo.

I said it loud and clear before a ball was even kicked this season. When in the summer the usual sycophants were busy slapping themselves on the back and blowing kisses to AW posters-“ we were not and have not been the third best team in this Land for ages now and finishing third (particularly above Chelsea with 2 real trophies) meant nothing more than the CL spot it secured"; end of.

Then they rolled out tired clichés and developed theories that would make an American soccer fan blush- but when the season started they all went back into the woodwork.

If you can't call finishing above your betters luck (especially when you consider all the circumstances that came into play), I wonder what the f*ck it is

wow, thank god you were there in the summer to tell everyone. and you came back to tell us more.

now that is lucky for us.

Maybe Chelsea have but that's merely aesthetics, which as we know doesn't mean everything, or anything.

To follow up on my initial post: Arsenal remain 5 points and 1 goal off 3rd, but are now just 2 points with a better goal difference off 4th.

People may dismiss getting 4th but it is still a measure of consistency and success that cannot be ignored. The next 5 games could be very significant, with West Ham in the sequence.

Reading

Wigan Athletic

West Ham

Newcastle

Southampton

at least 20 points

This is why turning off the lights doesn't make any sense!

Chelsea.

Biggest fluke in football history.
