If you could finish among the top four, it is generally accepted as the good season in England and it holds even truer if you are among those who were nowhere when season started and Arsenal is one of those sides who were not supposed to obstacle big giants anyway but they not only surprised their critics but as well made heavyweights like Manchester United sit on their backyard by overtaking them on the board. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger seems to be the happy man after a stressful season and now he can bet for a better contention in the next year. If we rely over his recent promises, they will head in the summer transfer market with some calculated notes in hand and buy only those players who can help them sustain a ranking right from the beginning next year. They are three points clear to Red Devils and made them qualify for the Champions League next year but bigger news is that they can puff out their chest with the fact that this is the same side who faced severe criticisms from every corner when they began the season residing on the bottom of the table.
Talking about the season passed by and chances of retaining their FA cup, Wenger said in an interview, “You are never satisfied when you don’t win, but back in October we would have signed for where we are now. They defended well and we tried and tried, but we couldn’t score. In the end, they had some chances on the break and maybe they were a bit unlucky. Maybe we lacked a bit of freshness, but this result shows how important it was to get the points against United last Sunday.
“We want more and it is frustrating because we wanted to score goals and we like to go forward. We want to finish with a win at home on Sunday and give the end of season to our fans that they deserve. We have some time to prepare and recover now and I’m sure we will do that.”
Adding about Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott and their form in the last Sunderland win, 65-year-old Frenchman added, “Jack did very well. He has some very good movement, some very good accelerations and the same with Theo. He looked sharp in this game and that is good news.”
