'Boring' Arsenal may win the Premier League title, but no-one will ever remember

No one will remember the 'most boring' Arsenal team of all time if they win the Premier League title.

That's according to talkSPORT host Jamie O'Hara, who took aim at the Gunners following their 4-0 win at Leeds on Saturday.

Goals from Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus, along with a Karl Darlow own goal, saw the Gunners open up a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

The result ended a three-game winless run, and saw Arsenal win a league game by more than one goal for just the second time since a 2-0 victory over Brentford at the start of December.

However, even after putting four past the Whites, O'Hara, speaking with Rory Jennings, lay into the Gunners, claiming that nobody is going to 'remember' this Arsenal side.

'It's so dull!'

"No one's going to remember this team," O'Hara started.

"When you look at the Arsenal teams over the years - the Invincibles.

"[Think of] the great sides that you’ve seen win the Premier League and you go: ‘Wow what a side’ - the Man City teams have won the league, Man United, Arsenal back in the day when they won.

“No one's going to remember this Arsenal team. It’s so dull!"

Jennings was quick to point out that some fans are calling this Arsenal side 'icons' and that Piers Morgan named four current Gunners stars in his all-time Arsenal Premier League XI, with Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka all featuring.

'Absolute guff'

"Icons?" O'Hara replied.

And on Morgan and his XI, the former Tottenham midfielder added: "I know he's been in hospital and he's had an operation on his ear, but I think they must have had an operation on his brain for him to come out with that absolute guff."

"If they get it over the line, credit to them, well done," O'Hara continued.

"But no one's gonna be watching this back on Sky Sports Premier League Years, are they?

"No one's gonna watch this season back. It's going to have zero, zero entertainment value of watching this season of Arsenal winning."

Boring, Boring Arsenal

O'Hara didn't let up when discussing Arsenal with a caller, continuing: "I have to say three years ago, I really enjoyed watching Arsenal and I thought you were the best team in the league by a million miles, you just didn't quite get it over the line.

"But now you're probably the most boring team I've watched that are going to win a title.

“I’m talking about a title winning side - they are the most boring team I think I’ve ever watched.”
