Arsenal are a good team. In fact, they’re a great team – but only when it’s of no consequence.
You can almost never count on the Gunners to influence the title race. A handful of victories against Manchester City aside, Arsenal have the irritating tendency of always losing to the big fish when it counts the most. Then, they’ll meet a smaller club and demolish them by 4 or 5 goals.
It’s not even surprising these days to see a team like Sunderland or Hull City have a better record against the top 6 sides than Arsenal. That’s because they simply can’t be trusted to beat the big dogs.
Look at their ties against Barcelona and Bayern Munich – the results are as predictable as the fact that Arsenal will be bound to draw one of those teams. The performances are even more irritating – they will be beaten about the pitch until the tie is decided, and then in the second leg they’ll suddenly come raring to go. And just when they’re about to nick it, the referee blows the final whistle. Every. Single. Time.
To see Arsenal fans celebrate Ozil’s goal against Ludogorets like it was against Real Madrid was just hilarious.
