Arsenal impressed on Sunday as they held reigning champions Chelsea to a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge – ending their five-match losing streak at the stadium in the process.
But, if anything, that result merely sums up their fall from the top.
Considering the battering they took against Liverpool, prior to the international break, it was admittedly a vast step up in level.
However, the praise coming the way of the Gunners simply underlines where they are – a fallen giant of English football with no desire to get back to the top.
