There is a 10 point gap between 2nd and 3rd. That is a big difference.
We battered them at the Emirates.

If the baby blue cheaters get the Juventus treatment, we win this league title, not United.
The league cup bears almost no weight, there’s a reason we’ll face City in the Community Shield and not United. No one cares about that cup, we used to field kids in it.
Also, to bring up the h2h becomes very complicated since we got a goal wrongly disallowed at Old Trafford, a goal that would have changed that game significantly. Because I assume you’re talking about the goal difference?
Any neutral that watched both games would agree that we were the better team by far.

I believe we are better team than them. But if you objectively look at the whole season. Them doing better in 3 cup competitions and winning one sway it for them
Player:Tomiyasu
I want to say us, but when United fan says its them I can't really find bullets to argue back.

Guarantee you though if United played City in an earlier round in the FA Cup like we did they would have gone out similarly.
Can’t remember who else they played in the FA Cup to reach the final (except winning on pens against Brighton) but their Caraboa Cup run to the final was stupidly easy playing league 1 sides and Forest. They also bottled it against Sevilla after their fans on social media made a big deal about them winning the Europa League.
I don’t really see how they have had a better season than us. They beat teams that they should expect to beat in all their cup runs. Imagine if they lost to the likes of Charlton, Reading etc who they played in both the FA Cup and League Cup.

They won a cup and reached a final in another cup.

If Arsenal beat City to win the Community Shield next season, then that makes Yanited's season redundant.

If we won the league this would be different. As it stands we both won the top 4 trophy, United reached two finals winning one and went further than us in Europe.
United for me have had the better season. More trophies, more finals and in the CL. This is why next season we have to compete in every tournament we enter.

If it wasn't for the 9 extra points we have, +30 goal difference and +30 goals we scored ahead of them...
Then that extra goal we lost by to them could have been crucial...Arteta got so lucky here!

I just can’t agree with this.
They won a nothing cup that most clubs want to get rid of, beating pub teams on the way. Reaching a final and not winning surely counts for nothing if the same argument is used for being runner up in the league
Country: England
Had it not been for that 7 nil loss I’d have given it to Utd easy, but that’s such a huge stain. That team now knows that against good opposition on a bad day 5 nil loss is very possible.
Top 4 and two cup finals is a season is good going with that squad. Arsenal had to wait a couple of seasons for this one so it’s a bit shruggy.

They won the milk cup and got Battered by Pool, we finished 2nd its progress for us imo. So us imo.
Player:Tomiyasu
I mean, if we had their season and they had ours, we would also be thinking we had the better season
Country: England
That’s why the one’s who are mind boggled aren’t serious
Whoever you support had the better season with this one. Had Utd actually won the FA Cup, it wouldn’t be a debate even though I’m sure some would still argue it.
I’d have been fuming had we lost to anybody 7 nil but I firmly believe Arteta and his following shrug that off no probs tbh provided we were in top 4.

If Man Utd had won the FA Cup then maybe it's different.
I think most people would agree that the PL is the fairest barometer of success and progress. You don't get easy draws in the league, everyone plays everyone and it's over a longer format.
We were in a legit title challenge up until the last few weeks, Man Utd were closer to a top 4 battle than to a title challenge. There was a way bigger gap between us than 2nd vs 3rd looks on paper.
Even just stylistically we were superior. Man Utd had a good season results wise but for the most part they weren't dominating sides. It was pretty scrappy stuff tbh. When Rashford wasn't in his purple patch they were pretty stodgy.
Based on all that if you ask the question, which side should be going into next season more optimistic? I'd don't see how the answer isn't Arsenal.
