So are we set for the end of the Big Six era? And yet the Big Six era somehow feels more positive than the Big Four period 10 years earlier. Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal in August 2011, United 1-6 Manchester City a few weeks later, Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal just six days after that. There were more big games with over seven goals in the space of a week in October 2011 than there had been in 2005, 2006 and 2007 combined. The great fear of the Big Four era was that Chelsea would dominate English football for decades, but that didn't happen.
