I know most of you goooners will scoff at this suggestion but let's just take a look at my reasoning for a minute.
We consistently finish above you in the league
We consistently go further than you in the champions league
We give the top level European teams a better game than you do
Players chose Chelsea over Arsenal time and time again
We consistently get the better of you in league meetings
We only sell our best players when it suits us and if it doesn't, we don't let them go to a rival club in the premier league
Nicolas Anelka also echos my thoughts. Can't disagree with Anelks can you?
'Arsenal are composed of young players, playing for third or fourth place, but we do not really speak about them for the title. But Chelsea are like Real Madrid. The pressure is huge.'

We go into every season aiming to win every single trophy and although you did win the FA cup last season I feel it's more of the same for you this season ie 4th place finish and that's that.
The mentality at the two clubs is poles apart. Even though we have young players too, they know the responsibility on their shoulders to win trophies. Not sure if your players have the same winning mentality ingrained into them.
You have got a bigger stadium than us. Fair play to you for that but it's not really helping you in the here and now Your matchday income is only 20m more than ours which can be bridged once we move into a new stadium plus our commercial income for 2013 dwarfs yours by 50%
You do have 13 league titles to our 4 but we look set to win more in the coming years and with your last league win back in 04, unless there's a drastic change at your club, you look like having more of the 4th place finishes
Any disagreements? Agreements?

On average, the clubs win the top division title:
Arsenal: Every 10 years. (13 in 129 years)
Chelsea: Every 28 years. (4 in 110 years)
Arsenal v Chelsea (169 games):
Arsenal 39%, Chelsea 33%, Drawn 28%.

I saw the odds at the end of a pellegrini video, funny most pundits think we won't finish top 4 yet the bookmakers think we are 4th favourites to win the title with liverpool near complete outsiders despite only having 2 points less then us. Southampton having much better odds then Liverpool despite Liverpool buying so many southampton players.
