Despite not winning anything in so long we still have name value and the top teams will always be more wary of us than a Burnley or Bournemouth.
Apologies I grew up with him being our manager and wasn't aware it was that bad before.
Since the PL started at least maybe even earlier we've gone to the top teams and tried not to lose, that's how we've always set up playing for a draw. Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I feel we had a good go at a big team, and a combination of their Keeper playing well and DCL missing chances kept us from winning. Arsenal were not the better team yesterday.
