Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender William Gallas believes Arsenal absolutely cannot be considered London’s top club in recent years, as both Chelsea and Tottenham have lifted trophies.
“Excuse me? London’s No.1 club? Sorry, but Arsenal haven’t been the No.1 club in London over the past few years. What have Arsenal won in recent years? Absolutely nothing.
“How many trophies have they picked up? Zero.
“So you can’t claim Arsenal are the top club in London.
“Alright, they’ve finished second for three straight seasons, but that means nothing. They’ve won nothing! If Arsenal fans think they’re London’s No.1 club, honestly, they’re being laughed at. Chelsea fans are laughing at you. Spurs fans are laughing at you.
“Do you know why? Because those two clubs have won trophies, and Arsenal haven’t. Arsenal finished second. End of discussion. There’s no prize for second place.
“Sure, they did finish above Chelsea and Spurs, but those clubs lifted trophies; they won silverware. Some people will say the Conference League is a small competition and Chelsea should’ve won it anyway, but by doing so, they became the first club in the world to win every major European trophy. Arsenal fans probably dream of being able to say that, but they’ve got nothing. Spurs had a poor Premier League season, but it doesn’t matter because they won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League.
“Did Arsenal win a European trophy last season? Arsenal fans might not like me saying this and might criticise me again and so on, but let me tell you one thing: for professional footballers, the only thing that matters is what trophies you win. It’s as simple as that.
“If you ask Arsenal’s players whether they’d swap their season with Spurs or Chelsea, they’ll diplomatically say no, but trust me, those players will be envious of not having felt what it’s like to lift a trophy. Arsenal fans might not like me saying this, but the simple fact is you’re not London’s No.1 club. The No.1 club is the one winning titles. You can only claim to be the No.1 club when you’re lifting trophies.”**
