    My point is that Liverpool did not take a step back. Arsenal just took a massive step forward.

    But isnt that football at the highest level?

    If you stand still you fall behind because others will overtake you.
    You may feel that liverpool may have taken a step forward with the purchase of torres and they have IMO, but if others take 2,3 steps forward then it still leaves you way behind the top title contenders. So i real terms no gain has been made what so ever. I wouldnt go as far as saying they took a step back though

    Arsenal have improved and will again next season. United look like the one to beat next year and with Romans billions chelsea will be in there. I just cant see liverpool win the title next year either and the odds from the bookies reflect that.

    Arsenal took 2 or 3 steps forwards. Chelsea progressed slightly but were playing well below what they were capable off. United are virtually the same as they were. Liverpool took a small step forward.

    I have no issue in folk saying that Arsenal had a better season or play better football. It would be silly to think otherwise. What I do have a problem with is people saying that Liverpool took a step backwards when they obviously didn't.

    The points I am making about the fixtures that Liverpool and Arsenal drew just make the argument of whether Arsenal had a better season purely because they there still in it near the end open to a bit more discussion.

    I think the interesting thing is that all of the top four widened the gap that exists with the rest of the league. AGAIN.

    i dont get what you're trying to say there

    i know you will point to points totals, but i would be more inclined to look at league position.

    Aye, id rather win the league with a relqtively low points total than come second with a relatively high points total.
