If Arsenal scraped top 4 on the last day of the season their fans would be happier than they are now.
Please change the way you think, because such narratives are not how people in the game think.
They consider the LONG-term trajectory.
Short term outcomes aren’t so important.
The same pundits who have predicted the whole time that Man City will win the league are saying it will be a disaster if Arsenal don't win the league from the position they got into. You can't have both those things.
Right… who thought it would be a good idea to let Fernando Santos lead a Portuguese generation as talented as this?
In the grand scheme of things, winning the Euro’s has probably had more adverse effects than good, for Portuguese football.
