    Arsenal never have been the greatest. Is what I would use. Razz:P

    What is the correct usage? Arsenal is the greatest or Arsenal are the greatest?


    I think the correct term is, 'negro please'

    - Arsenal are playing well on the pitch today.
    - Arsenal is a great club.

    I don't see it like that. I always see a football club as the players, the squad, the stadium, everything. So for me the correct term is Arsenal are a great club and it always will be.

    Word always corrects me on this -_- I usually say "are" because I'm referring to the team/club as a collective.

    "Arsenal is 5th in the table" just sounds weird.

    Rangers aren't an example as it was what started the argument and only Rangers can be used.

    Americans tend to use the singular, Brits the plural, either is correct, one just looks odd if you're used to using the other.
