Maybe we're not talking about the same posts. It's a pointless discussion anyway. If you don't think Liverpool have been fantastically lucky this season (while still deserving a lot of credit and playing brilliantly) we're not really going to get anywhere.

All we need to remember is that Arsenal Are poo poo.

I was ahead of the curve because I watched him at Wigan and noticed that James McCarthy upstaged him in every game. Also that most of his better performances came against teams who were either already beaten or defending deep enough to cede midfield entirely.

Only Ninpo here really banged on about him whereas every single player Arsenal have signed since the inception of this forum has been brilliant until they weren't any more.

To be fair I've raved about Cazorla in the past but I've never suggested he was at Fabregas level. Or Bale.

It's also not entirely impossible for a player to be brilliant and then not so much later on. Look at Valencia at United for one easy example.

Well we've pretty much avoided injuries the whole season, particularly to the most important players. But then again Suarez was banned for the start of the season, so that was "unlucky" in the sense our best player did something mental and got banned.

What's characterised Liverpools season is massive scorelines and pretty much all those games had nothing to do with luck.

The lack of fixture congestion has been a huge influence IMO. It's not so much having 5-10 extra games, it's having to frequently play three games in a week.

You've had brilliant luck with injuries to your best players which is obviously partly influenced by the games bit.

United have poo poo the bed, we've been decimated by injuries to our best players, Chelsea are lacking a goalscorer and for some reason City are incredibly lazy and strolling through games.

Admittedly this is how a lot of teams win the league but you asked.

I don't want to take too much away because you have been brilliant this year but it's all coming together perfectly which requires a lot of luck.

E -

I don't know why I bothered to write that much. No injuries, fewer fixtures and poo poo rivals basically.

Fulham away, Liverpool home, United away, Chelsea away, Arsenal home. I guess they're hoping the new(ish) manager bounce gets a win over Fulham and that 35 points will be enough?

But it works both ways for Arsenal.

I've watched Ramsey since he was a kid at Cardiff so have always known how good he is.
Most of last season he was getting nothing but stick from Arsenal fans.
It's not so much being berated for playing badly, but being written off completely and blamed for their hilarious annual capitulation.
Same thing has happened with Walcott, Ox-Cham, all of their goalkeepers, Giroud, Toure, Arteta, Rosicky, Song, Nasri, Sagna, Wiltshire and countless others.
Other than RvP or Fabregas I can't think of an Arsenal player since Henry who hasn't at one point been labelled as completely worthless by his own supporters,
Not all of them were poo poo.

If you somehow keep buying players who oscillate between world-beaters one year and unbelievable shite the next then perhaps something else is going on besides luck.

Off the top of my head I don't know Norwich's fixtures, but it seems a bit late for it to me. There's 5 games to go, I don't think there's time for any possible turnaround from an inexperienced manager. They'll probably be okay anyway, they're 5 points clear.

The issue is that you're still lumping all Arsenal fans together. And lol I did like the Lexus video.

We can't win though. Support Wenger and we're Stockholming idiots, say we're upset and we're spoiled morons.
