There was a time when finishing in the Premier League’s top four prompted celebrations at Arsenal. Not this year.
Lifting the FA Cup gave the last two seasons a certain gloss of success, while buying time for Arsene Wenger to once again perfect his mixture and land the big one.
Just as soon as big-spending Chelsea, Manchester City or United have dropped their guards, Arsenal would swoop in to snatch their title. Playing beautiful football with a beautiful team, as balanced as their beautiful books.
That’s what we thought anyway.
Chelsea, Man City (to an extent) and United have done their bit this year, but it is Leicester and Tottenham who are cashing-in their chips.
The battle for fourth place that has so often inspired them in the recent past looks like it is draining them this year.
Dropped points in their last two game – both from winning positions – make this a must win. But they are all hollow now.
Prediction: West Brom will revel in the role of spoilers. 1-1
