This may be somewhat negative of me, especially as the season or even any pre-season action has begun and we really have no firm idea of what will happen to the squads Arsenal and the other contenders for the English Premier League crow during the summer transfer window, but I am not very confident about our title chances next season.
I am not sure that Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal board are all that confident either and if that is true then it is a sad state of affairs for our club. I can just imagine the boss at the end of next season saying that the Gunners were a bit unlucky and that we cannot really compete on a financial footing with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Man City.
If we get back into the top four and qualify for the Champions League I can see the Frenchman saying that is good and that our failure to do so this year just proves how tough and competitive the league is. What I would like to see is something to suggest that our club and our manager view anything but a title winning campaign next season as a disappointment, but do you believe that is where they are?
