To be honest, Arsenal have only been the best of a pretty average bunch. Their downfall in the CL, like all the other English teams, says it all. Maybe this is just a bad season for the Prem but, relative to the other big European leagues, the quality does seem to have gone down. Maybe it's just too satisfied with its own commercial success. Its trademark unpredictability still makes it massively watchable but the price being paid for that, in terms of quality, definitely shows itself when teams like Chelsea, City, Arsenal, etc, meet their equivalents from other countries.
Even in terms of players, the Prem is packed with very good ones but would any of them make a world XI right now? Although that's bound to change once the TV money comes into play.
Either way, this season hasn't been a very good advert for Brand-Prem.
