4) They play good football
It’s an old cliche about Arsenal, but with class players like Ozil, Cazorla and Sanchez at their best, they really do play some fantastic football. Even the supposed target man Olivier Giroud manages to look good in this Gunners side, while young players like Francis Coquelin and Hector Bellerin continue to come through and show the world that there is some hope for developing talent and playing in an ambitious and entertaining way. Do we really want to believe that it has to be the other way round, that spending and defending is the only route to success in the modern game?
