How should you have won it if you finished third? Are you saying the table was wrong then?? What am I missing..
You are also factually incorrect. That season at Old Trafford, Arsenal didn't draw. You got beat. Get your facts right.
Man Utd were obviously a better team than Arsenal that year. As were Chelsea.
You placed exactly where you should have.

Because we were the best team in the league until the vicious assualt on one of our players destroyed the mental state of our young, inexperienced squad. Without that we would have won the league.

A draw with Liverpool was followed by a trip to Old Trafford. A win would put us back in the title race, but defeat and it was over. After a goalless first half, Adebayor found the net to put us 1 up. A penalty and a Hargreaves goal, though, put us in our place.
Where does that say we drew?

If you had mentally weak players who can't cope with an injury, you don't deserve to win the title. If Chelsea or United suffered the same injury then would they have bottled it?? No chance. You finished third because you were the third best side. Ridiculous post.
We played well until Feb but then fell apart.
The football was lush at times but we were certainly punching a bit above our weight in terms of personnel.
It would have been an upset title win if we’d won, but that collapse was very typical of a post 06 Wenger team.

You've edited your article mate. You clearly said good draws at Anfield and Old Trafford. You can deny it all you like, but you were factually incorrect and have just subsequently changed it.
Blaming the Eduardo injury has never sat well with me tbh.
Our players should have dealt with it like professionals, but the soft culture Wenger created at the club meant that the players couldn’t cope. It was kinda pathetic how we threw in the towel actually.
Eduardo wasn’t even a big player for us.
Drogba played 19 pl games in 07/08. Lampard played 24 pl games.
But the injury to Eduardo is an excuse for Arsenal.

It wasn't a similar situation, nowhere near as horrific.
In 2015 Luke Shaw suffered a horrendous challenge, and United went out of an easy CL group, went out of the Europa early, came 5th in the league.
