If we collapse horribly then we won't have made much progress at all, if any. That remains to be seen.
I think that statement is a bit premature. We seem to be heading in the right direction quite a few times every season. Some things that are common to Arsenal's season in the last 7-8 years:

- Go on unbeaten runs of 10-11 matches where we it seems like we made improvement from previous seasons
- Be the leader or there abouts the top 1-2 and then completely have a car crash Feb/March
- On the occasions we are close to the top, we sure as hell make sure we dont sign the needed players
- Finish above Spurs by the end of the season and it feels like we did something worthwhile
- Fuck around all through the transfer window making shit bids and/or not making a bid at all

The only reason I see that there is some progress this season is Ozil and the money we paid for him. I am now sure that the board is no longer holding AW back in terms of transfer funds (not that I ever felt like that before either but this just proves it). There really is no other reason why I feel that we have made progress so far.. We have all seen these false dawns! I hope all the skeptics are wrong though!
