FT. 2-1.
Been gutted since the FT whistle even though I knew there was like 1% chance of West Ham helping us.
Most wins we’ve ever had in a PL season, highest points tally since 2003/04, and most goals scored in a season since the 1950s.
The fact we were so tantalisingly close to a league title yet fell short is gut wrenching, but I am proud of how far we’ve come despite no trophies this season. And we know the monster we are up against in this league. A monster who probably haven’t been playing by the rules if we’re being honest. Anywho.
After Emery was sacked, I never thought we’d ever compete for the league again. I thought we were done as a top club competing at the top. But that belief has been brought back over the last two years.
I do believe we need to win something tangible soon because this crop of players are too good to keep going trophyless, but ultimately, we have a superb platform to now build from and add more quality to the starting 11 and to the bench.
The speeches from Odegaard and Arteta post-game, as well as the comments from Edu and Josh Kroenke pre-game, show to me that they’re not satisfied with just being competitive - they want to win and they have the drive to help us get there.
I’m under no illusions that it will be tough next season too because every team will be looking to improve, but we’re in a fantastic position.
I’m already looking ahead to next season.
As always, COYG!
