Jack Grealish must be more intellectual than you then.Mainly on the basis of the logic. Its not even a football argument. Its intellectually wrong the notion Arsenal got 84 points last season was because Chelsea and Liverpool regressed.
Like I said, if one swimmer swims slower than he did the year before, does that mean another in the race swims faster by default?
This is Jack Grealish level intellect
If a team has more pressure put on them by teams around them they are more likely to drop points - case in point Arsenal folding like a cheap suit as soon as City ramped up. Or arsenal doing exactly the same in 2022 to blow the champions league places.
Another/multiple teams getting more points will always negatively impact mentally weak teams like Arsenal.
