I don't wanna sound like a bitter fan or anything but I am honestly astounded how many in the media and fans have just accepted that Arsenal are back and a guaranteed top 3 team. It truly baffles me.
Yes, they had a truly incredible season last year but before that, even at our worst we were still better them. So they've only had one truly good season in a while and people are just now taking it as written that they're top 3? I just can't see it that certainly.
In that same vein, the idea that so many have instantly written off Liverpool and after one poor season for them they're out of it as well now? Even Man Utd or Newcastle... they're all moving in the right direction but it's just a given that Arsenal will be top 3?
I will agree that I will not be surprised if they continue on from last season but I also wouldn't be surprised if a mix of injuries, European football, no mid-season world cup etc... means they don't have as successful a season this time out. If you ask me today do I put them in the top 4? Yes. Do I think it's a given? Not even close.
