they always end up getting thrashed by the first good team they play

heck if juve played the teams that they've been playing , we'd be first seeded too
That's easy to say but it's not true. Arsenal dominate their opposition every year. It's not a given that an easy opposition means you win big. In fact it seems to be a given, but it almost happens in less than half the cases. Didn't Inter draw against Twente? Would Arsenal draw against a club like Twente? No, they wouldn't. But the European champion did. Arsenal are just good at this, that's the truth.

Yeah, they're good at running the score up against inferior teams, I'll give them that.

Other times they simply fart around against inferior teams yet still find a way to win.

Today they got the flood gates open on a lucky keeper mistake.

Exactly, but being lucky on a regular basis is basically what is commonly known as skill.

Anyway, they don't amount to much in the knockout stages, so I like that. But I would much rather see them killed right away.
