I wouldn't underestimate a win against Bournemouth either. They are top of the Champo and have scored more goals in the Enlish leagues that any other with 44 and a DG of +20 from 21 games.

Top of the league, plenty of goals, beautiful seaside town too. Must be another one with with more draw than Liverpool. ;)

You've nailed it. We can't offer the consistency of Arsenal either.

Qualify for CL, get out of group stages, get knocked out, finish 4th in Prem, rinse, repeat.

But speaking seriously Arsenal have done a lot more than that. They have built a new ground and through constant Champions League qualification have established themselves as a financial powerhouse. This is exactly what Liverpool haven't done. It seems to me that Arsenal are happy with their current situation. They have worked out that having 4 spots in the Champs league is going to create a top 4 and the rest. Arsenal are firmly entrenched in that top 4 and it is difficult to see them not continuing to be a big club in 20 years time. Arsenal is one of the few clubs which actually runs like a business (and I think some fans don't like that).

Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool and Everton all know this. This is why they are trying to build new stadiums or expand their current ones.. Getting in the top 4 is a far harder feat than staying in it. Getting in it for one year actually isn't too difficult but cementing your spot in there like Arsenal has done is very difficult.

accept all that but Arsenal's right to a top four finish is under threat this year and despite consistancy, its been ten years since last winning premier league. Man City are now firmly there and Man Utd have squad depth + coach, just need a few results to go their way. Chelsea, well bought their succcess through Abranovich. I'd say fourth will be contested till the end; whether Brendon Rogers can turn it around or will be given time....answers on a post card to John Motson, MOTD, Londinium.
