"Last season, [Manchester] United didn't win against any of the big four and they won the league, so it shows anything can happen."

That's what Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner told the London Evening Standard in an effort to prove that his side still has a chance at the title, despite being six points behind Chelsea and losing all four matches against the top two teams this season.

The only problem is that his statement isn't really true.

Although Man United did struggle against Big Four opponents, it managed a win over Chelsea and draws against both them and Arsenal. So, where Arsenal pulled exactly zero points against their "Big Three" opponents, Man United pulled five. 

And with that harsh reality revealed, I think we should stop. Because also telling him that Santa Claus doesn't exist all in the same post could be severely damaging to the young man.
