Unfancied is a bit strong. We have been Chair of the 'there or thereabouts club' for four years.

To put it another way, we have been the most consistent side in England over the past four years. It was really an issue of getting over the line. Or 'bottle', if you prefer.

The best we can expect is for us to be competitive again next season. And the one after.

In some ways, Arteta actually did his 'job' three years ago. Put us in a title race and got us back in the champions league. That is the club's expectation. Actually winning either of those competitions is a bonus.
