About the same as a Manchester derby these days. Honestly thought Arsenal would have stepped up 2nd half, not good that..

Arsenal have improved to some degree but its still the same as they are still struggling against the top sides. They have managed a few wins this season but if you can't beat the top 4/6 teams its hard to get in there.
They also seem to go on a downer after a defeat and lose 3 or 4 more, then win a load before the same poor run of results happen. Could be a sign of the young squad but I feel their defence is really suspect and extremely overrated which isn't helping.

we literally beat chelsea, utd and west ham in our last 4 games
that makes no sense whatsoever
Lost to Brighton,Palace and Southampton before that though.
Not really. As per SwissRamble's analysis of PSG's accounts, the difference in net transfer spend between Liverpool and Arsenal is just over £100m over the past 5 years however Liverpool have spent around £400m more than Arsenal in wages in that period.
Just like when Utd supporters were laughing about how Arsenal have spent more than them last summer, you cannot look at transfers like that. Arsenal might have been able to pay the £20m for Ronaldo but they could never get close to the £30-40m per season wages.

And spurs at the Emirates.
Also should have won against City at the Emirates.
Arteta record against the top side is better than wenger (during wengers last 10 years as manager)
Its true though, Arsenal have won 3 and lost 7 which I guess is bottom of the so called big 6 which really is a big 2.
Also shipped in something like 25 goals in those games.
Been the same for years, especially away from home
We are operating at a level where those wage levels are expected. Arsenal haven’t had CL football for what 5 seasons? We’ve won one and a title in that time.
When you consider the quality of the respected squads if they have spent 100 mil more in 5 years then lol as they are light years behind. That’s also 20% more which is significant and I assume your figure is gross not net. Net spend is important imo.
You've lost me with that first line.
When looking at what a side has spent on their squad, you cannot look at transfer fees in isolation. Clubs spend far more in wages each season than they do on transfer fees after all. As I pointed out with the Ronaldo example, just because a transfer fee of a particular player might be less than another, the total package required to sign them may end up being far more. Thiago is another example. Most of the PL could afford the £25m fee but only 4 sides could have paid the wages to sign him.
Arsenal cannot compete financially with Liverpool, Chelsea, Utd or City, even if they did spend more on transfer fees last summer. And my figures were net. In terms of gross spend there's next to no difference between Liverpool and Arsenal over the past 5 years.

I wouldnt be surprised if we spend even more this year, and fans will still whinge about the Kroenke’s

Really, Liverpool in 5 years have spent 400m more than Arsenal on wages. Seriously? I knew Arsenal can't complete financially but that can't be true?
Thiago is on the same wages as Partey
Pepe is on 140k, Luis Diaz is on less than 60k
Aubameyang earned more than any Liverpool player
Lacazette earns 180k, Jota earns 90k
Ben White earns 120k, Konate earns 70k, Matip 100k
Yes Liverpool pay far more overall but if Arsenal can clearly pay high wages, just to the wrong players it seems
Yea, and I'm the Pope.
Probably not considering Arsenal's wage bill last season and the season before and the season before was higher than Liverpool's. Probably previous ones too. Its only this year Arsenal's has dropped loads compared to Liverpool
Remember they were paying Ozil 350k a week
You are so wrong it's frightening. Liverpool's wage bill in 19/20 was £326m, Arsenal's was £225m. These are figures taken from club accounts, not made up nonsense on twitter.

What salary is sane. mane and vvd on? Or Alison?
According to what? 20/21 Liverpool's was £314m vs ours at £238m

He probably read it on twitter lol
