If you look at the internet it`s not difficult to see that Arsenal are almost universally hated, it doesn`t help when you have ex northern players queuing up to give their worthless opinions.
However what can`t be disputed is the fact they`ve been one of the best two clubs in the country for the last 4 years without lifting a trophy.
This seasons record FWIW P38 W29 D6 L3 GF82 GA23.
Not so bad for a team that are shit in 50% of their games as RR points out. I`d love it if they pick up 2 or more trophies this term just to shut up the gimps.

FWIW - I said dull, not shit.

Would have been interesting had Liverpool decided to actually defend their title, rather than just write the season off, given they’ve taken 4 points off the Arse this season. Could have done with an entertaining title race this time round rather than the boring shambles it’s becoming. Only realistic challengers are FC 115 and I doubt anyone wants them to win it either.

I don't think they are hugely dull, it's just not the most entertaining football to watch. I think in recent years Man City & Liverpool have based their moments of dominance on exciting attacking players, and its been great to watch, but Arsenal seem more about defending and trying to stifle the opposition

in previous seasons if I saw Liverpool or Man City were the tv game I would pretty much try to watch it as there would be something good going on, but this season when Arsenal are the Saturday teatime game or the sunday match, it stirs nothing in me and I so I often don't watch

Arsenal's highest PL goalscorer this season has just 6 goals, and in the top goalscorers chart this season is 23rd.

But still have 46 goals, 2nd behind city on 49 who`s highest scorer has 20.

They have a lot of goals but watching goals from corners is not that alluring to make you want to watch them.

Efficient and with a deep squad I think they are near certs to win the league this season especially as they usually beat the lesser clubs whereas other contenders do drop points to the lesser clubs.

On the basis of net spend over the past 5 years Arteta should be challenging, as they are, on a number of fronts.

I know figures don't always tell the full story as they might be different over 6 or 7 years for example but I thought the figures for net spend over the past 5 years were interesting as follows:-

Man Utd £675 million
Arsenal £663 million
Chelsea £651 million
Tottenham £574 million
Newcastle £424 million
Liverpool £ 420 million
Man City £396 million

The most noticeable thing to me is the amount Spurs have paid out when their fans are often very shouty about the club not spending money.
Also Liverpool, despite last summer's splashing of the cash, they are nowhere near the biggest spenders nor are City, i.e. the 2 champions from the past 2 seasons.
