Yes - it Fox is right on that one

'Arsenal' is a singular entity.

So 'Arsenal falls short" is correct.

It's because we identify with clubs as teams, and not being individual entities, so we're actually reading it as "[the] Arsenal [team] fall short".

I am continually getting corrected on this point by my boss.

Would probably help if I didn't work in a profession (law) full of anally retentive types who actually give a s**t about this sort of thing.
