Because
He doesn't think Arsenal are going to win the league. Which is fair enough, I don't think Arsenal are going to win the league (and I'm an Arsenal fan) but can't he just say that. Presumably Danny Murphy isn't very stupid, or even stupid at all, as he has no became a regular pundit for the Beeb. SO why can't he just say 'I don't think Arsenal will win the league because they never do.' ? That would be fair enough. But instead he hides behind the 'oh they haven't won any big games' excuse. Well, we made Spurs look distinctively average when people were saying they've made so many brilliant signings that they are real contenders but because Arsenal beat them it's not a big game. We also beat Liverpool who until earlier were second. We lost to Chelsea, in the least important competition ever. And United beat us 1-0, United, how it looks now aren't even a big team. So Mr Murphy why are you using terrible excuses instead of just saying what you think. Oh we beat Dortmund away too, and Napoli. FYI.
Take a leaf out of Les Ferdinand's book, he made his MOTD debut last night and was much more cohesive than you. Big Les said basically he doesn't know if they can win the league (Fair play, he's an ex-footballer not Mystic Meg) but if they can provide cover for Giroud in January they can be a real threat because if he gets injured then Arsenal are fucked. (Again, fair play.) So Les, you win at MOTD. It annoys me when people who are paid to say intelligent stuff say stupid stuff. It's like being paid to build a house but then knocking down next door's garage instead. Sort of. Not really.
Lastly, today was the first time in a long time where Liverpool have lost to a shit team and I can't say it's because Liverpool are shit. Because they really aren't.
Double lastly, Royal Blood are very good at making music aren't they. Fair play to them for making lous music that isn't just fuzzy shit. Kudos.
