Arsenal Come Fourth Again In Aggregate Premier League Table From 2010/11 Season Onwards

Everyone knows that fourth place is Arsenal‘s real spiritual home, and that’s been proven more than ever with an aggregated Premier League table from the 2010/11 season onwards.

The Gunners may not have actually finished in fourth place since 2013/14, but there’s no doubt that they will, often enough, find their way back there in good time, to the extent that you have to wonder if they ever really left in the first place.

Well, wonder no more, as points tallied up over the last six years (via reddit user bolah) show that they are indeed rooted to that fourth position, with the highs and lows felt by Manchester City, United and Chelsea, all of whom have finished above and below Arsenal over this period, nothing compared to that stoic consistency showed by Arsene Wenger’s side.

Wenger has previously been criticised for claiming that finishing fourth is as good as winning a trophy, and if that’s the case then the Frenchman should personally be allowed to keep that part of the table, just as Brazil kept the World Cup trophy after winning it for a third time.
