Former Arsenal player Alexander Hleb compared the current English team under Mikel Arteta to the one in which he played under Arsène Wenger.
We also had a great team, but we had more competition. Chelsea and Manchester United were much stronger in those days. Now they took Chelsea away from Abramovich and there is chaos, and that doesn't have a positive effect on the club, and MU makes a lot of mistakes. Massive respect to the Arsenal management, they trust their coach, and that's the result. Well done, there's nothing more to say.
