Nope. Do your homework mate. The 94/95 team finished 12th. Remember the premier league existed before Wenger FFS !

Full of infighting and chaos within the club back then. Adams in jail and Merson cocaine addiction etc. They still reached another cup final.

Not to mention 17, 18, 19, 20, 21?
While I agree that 12 + 13 were teams that could not bring out much excitement, we still managed top four and had some decent players. RvP still with us in 12 too who carried us a long way.

Imo, the 2014-2016 teams are better than the current side and 2008 team. Reason being, they won trophies and also challenged for titles but severe injury crisis hindered that.

That's fair, it's nowhere near the worst side. These players have a lot of potential and I'm behind them.
I just think their abit overrated given the money we've spent and lack of trophies.

Yh, that's outrageous I never said that. 2016/17 side shouldn't be listed there though

Rosicky, Gilberto, Diaby, Eduardo, RVP, Diarra was a good young midfielder too.
The old Emirates teams would smoke these guys all day

2011-2012 is in our top 10 Premier League seasons for me, considering the context, money spent, and how we managed to turn things around to finish third. A really good year, with top coaching by Wenger, RVP was fantastic as well. However, no trophies, that's really what it's all about.
For me, our worst year has to be 2020/2021. I'm too young to remember how we were before '96/'97.

No team challenged for a title in that era.
The injury crisis in 15/16 was a red herring, this was the team at Old Trafford that lost having been within two points of Leicester:
Outside of Santi, that was the strongest team available after Mertesacker got dropped. They just bottled it, that team would lose comfortably to the current side. They’d create nothing and get undone by a mistake(s) by the back 5.

As a fanbase/forum, we shouldn't be tolerating any ridiculous negative posting about the Arsenal teams of the late 90s/early 00s.
Do City and Chelsea fans have a go at their best teams because they built them with illegal means, do United/Pool play down their best sides because the refs had their back... no, they just keep telling the world how great they are.
That's what we should be doing ffs, backing our legendary teams... anyone saying the Invincibles were overrated (especially an Arsenal fan) needs a permanent ban on here, imho!

Alright, seems like we have different ideas on the best teams, at least in the Emirates era.
What would you say are your top 3 teams since we've been at the Emirates?

I 82 be the one to remind you but 11/12 was the year we were obliterated and humiliated at Old Trafford by a Utd team containing Welbeck, Young, Cleverly, Anderson and Evans. That team and the 08/09 side with overrated rubbish like Diaby, Denilson, Song, Bendter and fkin Almunia in goal would struggle to finish top 8 in this league.

... current season isn't finished yet so can't judge them, if they win the Premier League or Champions League then they go to that number 1 spot.

22/23 probably edges out 14/15 because of how poorly they started the season. While 15/16 crashed too much.
