Is fifth better than sixth? Yes, but only in the way that 15th is better than 16th.

It should be an easy question to answer because sport usually provides clarity, but at Arsenal such is the pace of change that we tend to read runes, over many decades, rather than arrive at snap judgements. So: Was Unai Emery's first season at Arsenal better than Arsene Wenger's last? Nick Hornby: Was Emery's first season at Arsenal better than Wenger's last?
