I Can Tell You Now: Which is the better team out of the top 6?

Over the years that I have been at London Nautical school there has always been a debate on which team is better than the other team. In my year, the majority of my year either support Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea, there are a couple that support Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs, I support Arsenal. Although I am talking about which of the top 6 teams in the premier league is better than the other, there is no-one that supports Manchester City. Back to my point, the top 6 as it stood last season was Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspurs and then Liverpool. Most of the arguments are about when your team loses over the weekend or in a competition e.g FA cup, Champions League, Europa League etc or where your team is currently standing the the table. These type of arguments mainly happen on Monday when we come back from the weekend. Sometimes during the arguments when a person  is proven wrong the person likes to bring up the history of the club, for example, lets say a person who supports Arsenal is debating with a person who supports Liverpool, if the person who supports Liverpool is proven wrong, then that Liverpool supporter will bring up about how they have won Champions League 5 times and how Arsenal has never won it, but then an Arsenal fan would say how they have won the premier league unbeaten (42 games without losing) and how Liverpool haven’t won the premier league for 25 years and still counting.

In 2013, Arsenal were going 9 years without silverware and to me and every Arsenal supporter was really bad as when the other teams were talking about the trophies over the years and we Arsenal supporters had no say into what they were discussing but then everything changed the next year. Arsenal went on to win the FA cup by losing 2-0 in the first 10 mins to winning 3-2 in extra time against Hull city, Aaron Ramsey was the goalscorer making every Arsenal fans dream come true(which was to win a trophy). Manchester city were the premier league champions that year leaving Liverpool fans Heartbroken as they were only 3 points away from winning the title, Chelsea finishing third and Arsenal finishing fourth in the league. That year was a really bad year for Manchester United fans as they finished seventh in the league which was a big advantage for other team supporters to mock their club on how badly they did that year.

The next season was a great year for Chelsea fans as they were champions of the premier league having only lost three games the whole season, they were followed by second place Manchester City, then arsenal in third and finally Manchester United in fourth. A big argument fell out between Liverpool and Tottenham as Liverpool finished sixth, two points behind Tottenham.

In my opinion I say that Arsenal are the best followed by Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea and then Manchester United. I didn’t put these in order because of which teams I like, I put them in order of how each team plays football. Normally people judge teams by how many trophies they have won over the years but football is not just about, its about how teams play football to satisfy fans all around the world by showing their amazing talent on the football pitch.                                                                                                                                   That’s why I picked Arsenal first not just because I support Arsenal( mainly the reason) but for how they play football and when I watch Arsenal play I can see the passion from the players and the hard work they put in into satisfying fans all around the world.

It was barren and lifeless; i hated the place for its cruelty, and for what it had made me do. (150).
