Admit it, you’ve always suspected this.
But now you’ve statistical proof that Arsenal are actually flat track bullies, bulldozing lesser teams but struggling against the better sides in the Premier League.
The Mirror Row Zed have compiled this alternative Premier League table, which details the average points teams have won against sides in the top half of the table and the bottom half.
Arsenal have taken an impressive average of 2.6 points from the bottom 10, but have just 1.29 points against the top 10. Which is the biggest difference in the league.
Arsenal have taken 87 per cent of available points from teams in the bottom half of the table this season, and haven’t dropped points to a team in the bottom 10 since October.
While last season they earned 53 points from 60 against the team’s in the lower half of the table.
However, Liverpool are leading this table, and it appears Arsenal are a better bet for a return to the Champions League next season, so maybe being a flat-track bully isn’t a bad thing.
West Brom are on course for a Champions League spot, Manchester United are mired in mid-table and QPR are still getting relegated.
