The Mailbox reckons Arsenal are getting off lightly with the narrative that they shouldn’t be expected to compete with City. Look what Dortmund are doing in Germany. Get your views in to theeditorfootball365.com…
, because of offences that are nothing more than idle speculation. Compared to a guy who actually injected himself with performance enhancing substances. Jeez..
What we have is a statement from the EPL that doesn’t provide much info. Anyone who’s run a large company will know that a tax audit with a hundred irregularities findings is common, and almost always a tactic by the tax authorities. Those audits almost always whittle down to very little of substance. But I see people writing mails, and I can pundits on TV referring to “cheating” without any regard for due process.
* This is not, by any stretch, a “memorable” Arsenal team. 81 points they have. Brendan Rodgers Liverpool finished on 84 points, scoring over 100 goals. More points, more goals than this “special” Arsenal team. even the Spurs side under MoPo finished on 86 points, and had far lower pre-season expectations and a much lower wage bill. Again, more points than this “special Arsenal team”. Klopp of course, got Liverpool into runners-up on 97 and 92 points.
Arsenal are tied to the mentality of being Specialists in Failure. And it’s the reason next season will be the 20th anniversary of them last being PL winners. And, until the “lower the bar” mentality is expunged once and for all – and that means calling failure, actual failure , Arsenal will continue to be nothing but PL also-rans, whining about how unfair it is that Brighton and Southampton’s oil money is distorting competition blabla.
I should add, this isn’t the Wild West, there are really good people out there intent on fair discussion and balanced call and response and some of the banter remains playful and in good spirit, it’s just that unfortunately the minority worst of us, usually have a habit of being the most heard of us.I know there’s a narrative in play here, plucky Arsenal haven’t bottled it, City are ruining football etc etc . But objectively analysing the results, Arsenal have absolutely shat their pants.
On the other hand, Arsenal could and arguably should have accrued more points. Drawing away to Liverpool is no shame but the West Ham & Southampton draws were terrible. There are other results you could include but these 3 draws were when I felt it wasn’t going to happen. I was at West Ham vs Arsenal and for a long time the game could have gone either way. If Saka scores the penalty he missed…. Who knows.
Hindsight is a great thing and I like many wondered if Kiwior could / should have come into the team for Rob Holding against Southampton. I am sceptical that it changes the Man City result but can imagine it allowing a Win at home to Southampton. I could speculate using what if’s forever but there is evidence that Arteta is slow to make changes both to his starting 11’s and in terms of substitutions this season & last season.
