Thats the measure of Arteta. He was building a side with logical purchases to a plan. Contrast the rags over the years. Maybe they have hit the heights sooner than Arteta thought, but he won’t be surprised. One can only admire what they have done.

In the previous 3 seasons, they finished 8th, 8th and, last season, 5th. I'm pretty sure even the most blinkered Arsenal fan wouldn't have forecast the way this season has gone for them. One defeat and two draws in 19 games.
Jim, I'd have taken 4th before the season started. Even Arteta admits we are ahead of where he thought we'd be.

Yep, he's done very very well since he's been there. An exciting, young side, flying high. And they seem to be coping admirably with Jesus' absence. We have our work cut out chasing them down. But I'm not going to give up on the title just yet.Thats the measure of Arteta. He was building a side with logical purchases to a plan. Contrast the rags over the years.

Cancelo has been linked to Madrid.Who.
I maintain that Zin + the 60m we’d make from selling Joao to La Liga >> Cancelo + 30m from selling Zin to a title rival.

These twats are talking about 20 years of pain and misery potentially being over like they haven't spent over £100 million every year in recent years with virtually no sales and finished top half every year. Wankers are comparing themselves to Leicester and think they've been through it.
They're on course to be only marginally less insufferable than scousers.

The likes of today’s win, is what champions do.
I’m not saying we can’t do it, but no more mistakes can be entertained. They are not going to drop many points.

Yes the big hope was top 4 and our rivals (Spurs/United/Chelsea) thought we'd fall away because we didn't have Europe last year.
But you could tell in pre-season that we looked incredible against Chelsea and Tuchell went on a rant about how much harder Arsenal players were working. We've gone up several levels since last season.

They are the real deal. Will take some chasing down.

Looking at Chelsea this season, that might turn out to be not that much of an indicator of your quality. We beat them twice in 4 days and, according to some on here, we're shite this season.Yes the big hope was top 4 and our rivals (Spurs/United/Chelsea) thought we'd fall away because we didn't have Europe last year.
