Means nothing. History only remember winners. Liverpool has a 92 & 97 point league campaigns. Klopp will be remembered for 1 league title. Next season is Arteta last chance or his window will be closed at Arsenal imo

And that's just analysis lacking any sort of nuance.
We put up a season this year basically on par with the freaking Invincibles.
We've had a fantastic season this year, just like some of the fantastic seasons Liverpool had under Klopp. Those seasons for both teams *should* have won a clean league. They didn't, but when they narrowly didn't I'm not mad at Arsenal or Arsenal's manager, I'm mad at City and the PL and the broken state of football.
I cannot even begin to explain how ironic this is…
I don’t know how many times people need to hear this before it seeps through.
The Invincibles and Ferguson’s United competed in a very different football landscape where the dispersion of wealth across the premier league teams was an order of magnitude lower than what it is today. This (relatively) more even playing field logically yields the conclusion that you would see lower points totals then vs now. As with just about everything else in the world over the past 20 years, globalisation has left its mark on football, but apparently not on certain man on AM.
I hope this was nuanced enough.
Ps: I love what the team is doing right now but fgs please if I see one more post about this ****. Just analyse and critique what we’re doing now on its own damn merit.
The 'different financial landscape' right now is pretty much entirely just Manchester City, a team we all know is blatantly cheating.
And that cheating team has bumped the standards to win the league up to insane levels. If you remove that cheating team from the table, the 2nd place team that would have won ... has pretty much the same sort of point totals as historical winners from the first 25 years of the league outside of that insane year that Liverpool lost 1 game and finished 2nd.

Exactly & yet you get some saying the league was better when it was full of inept dinasaur local coaches .It’s always been poor in England.
internet saying Özil is a smoker, but I'm too scared of GDeep to take this any further
I was going to say someone that would be punted out of the squad prety sharpish, but that doesn't narrow it down that much.I wanted to say Miki but wasn’t sure if he was here when Arteta showed up.
Bellerin is also an interesting one.
Why Pep? He only managed clubs that had significant squad and financial advantages. Only with Bayern, he was working with limited (although substantial) resources and he flopped there.Wonder what awards real proper managers like pep and xabi Alonso would get?
