Arsenal primed for title run

Take that, Leicester. Did you really think that Arsenal would let you wrap up the Premier League by Christmas? I applaud your heartwarming, win-one-for-the-little-guy fairy tale but frankly I'm growing tired of it.

You need to understand that you're not the only ones who haven't won a top flight title in a while. OK, so Arsenal's drought isn't quite 131 years, although sometimes it feels that long. It has been 11 hellish seasons of mainly self-inflicted misery for Gooners forced to watch the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City capture the elusive prize while we finish third or fourth, depending on how parsimonious Arsene Wenger was during those transfer windows.
