It's pretty funny even if you're not an Arsenal fan. Not because of "St. we're trying to avoid admitting that we choked by celebrating finishing above our much poorer rivals" Day, but because Spurs lost 5-1 to a 10-man Newcastle.

99% of people who are laughing don't give a shit about Arsenal. I support my home team and follow Arsenal a bit. I'm not celebrating 2nd (though it is an improvement surprisingly, but that's another story) but the fact that Spurs had 2 (TWO) matches to end up above Arsenal and they fucked BOTH of them up.

The fact is, they only needed a DRAW (1 POINT) against an already RELEGATED Newcastle who had no reason to perform other than "I can then be bought by one of the EPL clubs". But that isn't a 5-1 performance. If Newcastle did that all season they'd be in Top 10 easily.

Spurs have 'the best team in EPL era'. They still finished below 'eternal shit irrelevant tier Arsenal'. Spurs were 2-1 down against 11 men. Newcastle lost one of their best players to a Red. They then let in 3 more goals.

How does a team suddenly become better than they were with an extra player?

Spurs totally fucked up and you going on about Wenger and contracts and shit is totally irrelevant to the point. Spurs had two chances to finally end up above Arsenal, first time in 21 years, and they fucked it up with the best squad they've had in that period and one of Arsenal's worse.

People are mocking Spurs, not celebrating Arsenal.

Fuck me mate. That's good bait.

>>67630905
>It doesn't count if it happened awhile ago

Arsenal got to the Final and got refballed against Uefalona.

City has spent over £1bn on players since being taken over. Chelsea has spent over £2bn. In comparison, Wenger has spent £550m in 20 years.

Yet you say City and Chelsea have LESS money than Arsenal? I know this is bait, but come on anon. You make comments like this and people are going to believe you.
>>
>>67630951
They are, though, at least in terms of revenue (which theoretically limits how much they can spend thanks to FFP iirc)

1. Man United (519 million)
2. Man City (463 million)
3. Arsenal (435 million)
4. Chelsea (420 million)
5. Liverpool (391 million)
6. Tottenham (257 million)

The Mirror has Arsenal as the 2nd richest club. Other counts have City as 2nd richest WHICH IS WHY I SAID "2ND OR 3RD". Can't you read?

And has FFP ever been applied to Chelsea or City? No? Okay then. It's a useless fucking law. It doesn't change shit. Also, wow, £15m difference. That is totally going to be a title changer.

>>67631035
And richest club =! amount of transfer money to spend. Can't you understand that?

>>67631045

Jesus Christ how fucking dense is it possible for a person to be

Why the fuck are you talking about transfers as if that's the only thing that money affects? Money means better training facilities, better doctors, better sport scientists, better manager, etc

But even if transfers were the only thing. We all know that Arsenal has a butt-ton of money that they could spend on transfers but which Wenger chooses not to.

The fact of the matter is that Arsenal are one of the richest clubs in England, one of the supposed "big clubs", yet they've failed to win the league during a time period that Man U, Chelsea, and City have all won it multiple times, and also during which Leicester City has won it.

Can't get much more choketastic than that, except perhaps if you're Liverpool, but again Liverpool do not have the financial resources of Arsenal so the embarrassment is greater for Arsepoo to be perfectly honest
>>
>>67634087
>much worse

Literally 1 point. Finishing comfortably above Spurs should be an afterthought, celebrating barely finishing above them is pretty pathetic
>>
Tottenham were the last remaining title contenders - were Arsenal ever really title contenders?

Tottenham's season ended at Chelsea, they laid it all on the line and came up short. When have Arsenal ever shown that kind of desire (despite the dirty play) to overcome their recent years of failure?

Sure, Spurs checked out after Chelsea and gave away second, but they had the more successful season.
>>

>were Arsenal ever really title contenders?


They were top of the league in December and stayed there until January. At the end of February, they were just 5 points behind first, then they fell out of the title race in March. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?
