    I should have been more clear - was talking about the wider span of Arsenal's need for change - the Ozil-types who were on £350,000 per week but going nowhere fast.

    They have improved a lot since having a number of seasons without Champion's League football. I feel it was quite a big job. Now, it's undeniable that the big expenditure has helped a LOT but I still think they (Arsenal) and Arteta command some respect - even if Mikel is irritating in the extreme.

    They are a decent squad but they have had incredible luck this season in amassing their points total.

    Injuries to key players have been few and far between when other rivals (us for instance) have been decimated at times.

    They also haven’t dropped points due to shocking PGMOL behaviour, unlike us. Not least the game at Anfield which saw a three point swing in their favour with the non penalty.

    Arsenal and City have been the most consistent this season but Arsenal have had a hell of a lot of good fortune along the way.

    If they lose either CB, Rice or Odegaard for any extended period, they will struggle, like any team other than City would.

    Binning off the league cup and losing at the first hurdle in the FA Cup has certainly helped Arsenal this season.

    There was a similar one in the FA Cup semi final too justme. Chelsea free kick and Grealish had his arm out in a similar fashion, nothing given.

    It’s not just poor decisions as everyone gets them it’s that they consistently get them when it matters, in tight games were if the decision was given against them they lose or drop points.

    Doesn’t matter when you’re 2 or 3-0 up it does when that one decision changes the result

    You'll never get an equal comparison of us finishing 2nd a few times with Arteta about to do the same. Without losing VVD and Gomez for most of the season following our PL win who knows which out of the top 2 positions we would've ended up. Plus the knock on effect of injuries in the rest of the squad in that campaign. We weren't that far off Ole's utd in 2nd after putting 4 past them late in the season despite all those injuries.
    To then come back and play the maximum games possible across 4 comps in the 21/22 campaign was phenomenal.
    Being totally honest, it's going to irritate the shit out of me if Arsenal win it and Arteta then has as many PL trophies as Klopp with us. As others have mentioned, they've been blessed without huge injuries and out of both domestic cups early. Leaving the CL at the quarters has then meant one game a week to prepare for the run in. Look at us with 4 games in 90 days last month . 3 of those in 6 days in the PL with that Saturday lunchtime kick off.
