For more than a decade, Arsenal fans were predisposed to be jealous of their rivals because of all the titles in the Premier League, dedications glamor and generally more sense of direction and ambition.
But this feeling must be even more painful and acute this summer.
He looks around the Premier League and Arsenal are most of these competitors in order to see, bring new and exciting relationship intense.
Across the capital, Chelsea is in love with the new manager Antonio Conte, a collector of values and impressively with Italy in the Euro 2016, which led to a larger organization, discipline and edge N'Golo the club since the beginning reins take of July.
In the red half of Manchester, the winner of the series, Jose Mourinho, was by the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrik Mkhitaryan and a burning desire, encouraged restore his reputation. Meanwhile, Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, winner of the last three Bundesliga titles, brought his coaching philosophy and a number of new recruits Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool is also excited about what Jürgen Klopp to be a newcomer to the Premier League, you can get into what will be in charge at Anfield in his first full season.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger once a facelift and innovative force in the league itself is prepared in the Club for its 21st season.
And the Gunners fans now know exactly what to expect: some impressive victories, maybe a few months at the head of the table, a crisis, when it counts, then a manifestation in time another object in the top four to save up .
This was the model for several seasons in the last decade, and so far there is no evidence to suggest that will not happen again.
Arsenal are trapped in a cycle of mediocrity and the next season is to be left in danger from behind for the title in the race.
Unlike last summer Arsenal signings outfield. Granit Xhaka from Borussia Mönchengladbach came in May. However, Wenger has made additions usually low risk as Takuma Asano of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Rob Bolton Wanderers hold.
Xhaka is an impressive company, technically proficient player and fashionable location, the Arsenal midfielder to animate, but not nearly enough. The Gunners need more.

Olivier Giroud remains a mystery, may have a record of 82 goals in 188 games for Arsenal and good enough to help lead France to the final of Euro 2016th
But too often they can not deliver, too stiff, slow and wasteful. And last season, when it counted from January to May has 15 Premier League games without a goal.
There were times when Giroud could made an acceptable version of an Arsenal player lead the Premier League title, but the truth is that to persevere in it would be an act of extreme generosity unjustified and Wenger.
This is Arsenal. There must be a better option than Giroud.
CARLO HERMANN / Getty Images For several years, this option seemed tantalizingly Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain, who was often associated with a move to the Emirates Stadium. But it was on Tuesday, sabotaged, if carried out, which traveled throughout Italy to move from Napoli to Juventus.
It cost the Bianconeri around £ 75 million, the third largest transfer fee in history to get his man, a lot of which is still a thorn in Wenger. But now is the market.
Wenger knows there is a problem in the front. Your search for Jamie Vardy in early summer proves it. Leicester City, but the striker was denied.
Perhaps Vardy was a unique situation, to keep the history of Leicester for at least one season and want to enjoy, but Wenger should be concerned, he could not report a player who was famous for playing Fleetwood Town not only four.
Research continues, and rejected a bid for Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette to the BBC, Olympique Lyonnais recently.
If Arsenal are competing for the title, they have to find someone.
BEN STANSALL / Getty Images Wenger team attacking midfielders, including Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Özil is to good to see his work, continue to lose from inside the box.
Although he finished as runner-up, Arsenal with 65 goals, they were able to transform the lowest scoring team in the top four last season, and only three or four more goals of his campaign.
At the rear, Per Mertesacker suffered an injury that keep him for five months by Dominic King of Mail Online, the Arsenal makes defense looking vulnerable. Laurent Koscielny rear end of the preseason after his deeds Euro 2016 France. The gains are likely to be necessary in the defense.
On the eve of a new season, there is a wave of new faces and a sense of the Premier League renewal. But the task at Arsenal is very different: the same administrator to test not only achieve the same results to, as it has in the past 12 years.
