Seems a weird thing to argue about.

Exactly, not sure why you are.

So we're agreed that Arsenal are good and also lucky as fuck, jolly good.

I’m not the biggest proponent of luck. Not saying you can’t get lucky like Darren Bent scoring by of a beach ball or whatever it was. But I think Arsenal really practice set pieces as a specific way of scoring and also putting defenders in the worst possible position through their movement and where they place the ball in the box. The amount of own goals is an anomaly but I believe the intent is very much there in how they try to get them. They force errors and those errors lead to goals. That’s by design.

Gary Player nailed the ‘lucky’ argument years ago.

See this is what happens when you don’t play your best team and you’re trying to build momentum. Often we’ve been guilty of not too many changes, but in the other hand we do go on these huge winning streaks which, I believe is a result of not tinkering too much with a winning formula.

Leaving Pedro out when he’s hit form is weird.

Palmer's Tonsure would be a great name for A Post Rock Monk-based beat combo.

That is a "you are getting relegated, mates" scoreline.

Sorry, but there is no excuse for calling Albion ‘mates’ in any circumstances.

Sincere apologies.

If West Ham and Forest can keep getting point and Spurs league form carries on the same they will get sucked into the bottom which would be hilarious.
