7 trophies out of 18 available over 9 years is pretty dominant I think, although I would have to put them second behind the Madrid of Puskas and Di Stefano in the all-time list.

*Trivial fact - the four non-Arsenal players were from Everton, Derby County , Stoke City and Manchester City. The Man City man got two of the goals. The Stoke man was a 19 year old called Stanley Matthews.
good point my knowledge only goes back to about 1950.. not bad considering I was born in 78.

i was going to do this as a vote but as everyone who uses the internet is quite young and doesn't have much knowledge of before 1990 it would end up just being an argument between the united and arsenal fans.
