This Arsenal season has been a "overarchievment".
Under normal conditions, the squad is in no condition to repeat the same as last year, and there is always doubt whether Arteta is able to keep this up next year.
The other clubs will appear stronger, and the only one that gives guarantees is City. Everything else can wobble.
The truth is that Arsenal couldn't even win the europa league, let alone a league or a champions league.
We're not even talking about a club that won something big recently.
The last big trophy was in 2004.
It's hard to honestly understand how Rice is so sure he will fight for titles next year.
Liverpool came close to a quadruple and the next year they were fifth.
