If "Ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas. Fact is, we aren't talking about last year, or the year before, were talking about this year. Also, don't talk to us about feeling hard done, we're the only club in history to log 90+ points, twice and not win the league.
Liverpool have 82 points and have already won the league. Arsenal finished with more than that the last 2 years and didn’t win the league. Seems factual. The point is every year is different and sometimes it comes down to timing
Typical Liverpool fan. Thinks everyone is talking about his team all the time. Get over yourself and enjoy your title. It will be a long time before it happens again with your aging team!
Also - you were challenging till the final game last season - we arent, its won already - and that makes a huge difference. Slot's resting players, starting players that havent started games the whole season - if you were still on our toes everything changes.
Of course it matters how many points we end up with. What you on about? You had 89 and 84 in the last two years. We *might* end with 91. So you wouldn't have won the league with either of your totals if we do. So like I say wait till the end before you make fools of yourselves.
Liverpool literally broke all time records for points totals for a second placed team - twice (90 plus points). Doesn't matter, we still lost the title by one point for those two seasons! Was that talked about, nah. Not a London-Manchester-Nation state team. Not that it should have been.
What is difficult to grasp about the facts that 82 points in as sufficient to win the league this year. It’s not a dig on Liverpool. It’s a statement about the variability of the league.
Its so mad - you are on here arguing that the league is different every year as if that needs arguing! It doesnt. We know that each year is different. That's the whole point of sport!
What we are arguing is that you have no idea if your totals of the last two years would have won you the league, cause its not over yet. Even if you had gotten 84 or 89 points already - you'd still have to *compete* over 38 games not 35.
And yet your team is getting guards of honor after winning 82 points. The point isn’t that we would have won the league if we won 82 points this year, the point is that 82 points might be enough next year!
Mate its not complicated. We've won the league, cause no one can catch us.
Suggesting arsenal would have won it with the same points means you are in a league WITHOUT Liverpool.
And yes 82 might be enough to win it next year. If you'd said that, noone would have got on your back.
That’s not what Arteta is saying. He’s saying that Arsenal’s totals from the last two seasons 89 and 84 points would have won it this season as Liverpool have only got 82. That’s just nonsense.
The assumption that Arsenal would have won it with the last two seasons points tallies is the nonsense. Nobody is arguing about the variability of the league (aka Arsenal’s own underachievement this season).

Also we already won, accept that and stop moaning. We lost the league twice with 90+ points. You’re not on that level yet.
