Heard a stat on The Times podcast, via Bill Edgar.

United have taken more points than Arsenal over the last 20 PL matches.

Not the most shocking stat, but still a bit mad.

Arsenal are just really overrated. They had one excellent half season and then they turned into a regular top 4 team near the halfway point and has remained that way up until now.

I mean… only just lost their first match this season.

Point being that how United and Arsenal are perceived right now is mental when that stat is later on it.

Might be because Arsenal finished 2nd as the main challenge to City and are now top 4, while United were 4th and now 8th

Looking at this season's form alone they are almost title challengers (on course for 82 points or something). Looking at the totality of the second half of last season and up until now they are classic top 4 material.

No disagreements there. It's a combination of Arsenal being overrated and us being underrated.

Well yeah, they’re so far ahead of us that it’s not even a debate.

But we have been shite since the Cup Final. To have taken more points from the last 20 PL games than them seems mad.

we were 3rd and are now only 6 pts off arsenal. whereas everything is shit when its about us, arsenal are the up and coming super team. the problem comes from generation twitter, where everything is blown out of proportion, so it gets noticed for a second. a well balanced view is boring.

Correct. If you take the results since the Cup Final:

At least we aren't Chelsea bad I guess.
