Runner-up! Arsenal failed to win the championship in three years, not as good as Crystal Palace and Newcastle

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Newcastle with one goal at home, achieving a key victory, becoming the second Premier League team to qualify for the Champions League after Liverpool. At the same time, Arsenal has basically secured the second place in the Premier League, but failed to win the championship for three consecutive years, which is worse than Crystal Palace and Newcastle in the eyes of some fans.

Due to the relationship between giving way to the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup, the Premier League has spanned five days. In the early game, Chelsea and Aston Villa defeated Manchester United and Tottenham without any suspense, both retaining the hope of qualifying for the Champions League. Manchester City and Crystal Palace, which participated in the FA Cup finals, were delayed until Tuesday.

Therefore, the two matches between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest became the focus of last weekend. Nottingham Forest, which has only won one game in the last 6 rounds, has only ranked seventh in the Premier League despite winning away games. In the last round, Nottingham Forest faces Chelsea at home. Both sides have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, and there is also the possibility that both of them will lose their qualifying for the Champions League.

was affected by the Champions League. Before this round, Arsenal drew 4 and lost 1 in 6 consecutive league games. If he could not defeat Newcastle, even his qualification for the Champions League would not be stable. At the critical moment, Rice was still the trustworthy "big heart". With goalkeeper Raya performing well, Arsenal finally got an important three-pointer and locked in the Champions League qualification one round ahead of schedule.

Seeing the familiar scene, fans began to call on Arsenal to "sell" the captain as soon as possible. Rice's performance is much better than Ode, and he is more qualified to take over the captain's armband from his companions. Because he has a lot of lead in goal difference and after he gets three points, Arsenal will become the second place in the Premier League this season unless Manchester City wins two consecutive games and wins a big victory.

For three consecutive years, Arsenal has been the "runner" of the Premier League champions. In the past two seasons, Manchester City later caught up. This season, Arsenal has caught up from behind and may eventually be second. Since the unbeaten season 21 years ago, Arsenal has never won the league championship again, and in the past few years, there have been only five FA Cup titles.

The lack of a championship makes fans feel quite dissatisfied. Many fans believe that if Arteta focuses on the league or the Champions League this season, there may be surprise gains. Unlike Arsenal's championship, this season has produced many long-lost champions. Newcastle won the top event championship after 70 years and eliminated Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all the way. The quality of the championship is unquestionable.

Crystal Palace is even better, winning the first top event championship in 120 years of its founding, and also qualifying for Europe. Crystal Palace's opponent is not as strong as Newcastle, but it also defeated Aston Villa and Manchester City. It only conceded 1 goal in 6 games and was able to score 3 goals in 4 games. The championship is well deserved.

In addition to the Premier League, Bologna defeated AC Milan in the Italian Cup final and won the championship again after 51 years. In addition, he returned to the Champions League after 60 years this season, and there were surprises for two consecutive seasons. Bologna, a veteran team, has shined new brilliance.

A few weeks ago, the Progress Eagles from the Eredivisie also made a breakthrough and defeated Alkmaar with a victory in the penalty shootout and won the first championship in team history. It is worth mentioning that former Manchester United head coach Ten Hager, the first time he served as head coach was from the Forward Eagles. 12 years ago, Tenghager coached for the first year and immediately led the team from the Dutch B to the Dutch Eredivisie. He began to become well-known and walked towards the road of a wealthy family step by step.

If you recognize the "champion theory", Arsenal may be really inferior to Crystal Palace and Newcastle, and even teams such as Bologna and the Forward Eagles can rejoice in their dreams. The three runner-ups are really far from enough. When will Arsenal have a championship?
