Rightly or wrongly, however, The Arsenal, in terms of what is factual, are the only team left in this season's Champions League; they're one of only two teams left in this year's tournament.
Defending champions PSG are the other, after beating German giants Bayern Munich to reach the final in Budapest. So with that in mind, one would think that the tag or being bottlers is no more. They're in the final of a major tournament, and with a win against a relegation-threatened West Ham, the Premier League title would be in their grasp.
Some might think they have the beating of PSG in the Champions League, but this was the side that knocked them out at the semi-final stage last year. As painful as the defeat last year would have been, it appears that this side has matured somewhat.
Sure, the defeat to Man City would have been a body blow, but the way they have responded is admirable. For the first time this season, they had back-to-back defeats, but fast-forward a month or so, and, barring a massive Arsenal choke, the 22-year wait for Premier League glory will be over.
As a football fan, congratulations to the Arsenal, as a Man United fan, my God, it will be so annoying to hear Arsenal fans about winning the League, playfully, every other club's fans call them deluded, but maybe there was sense in the delusion all along?
