The point is for the last few seasons we've barely been second class. Let's get there before we upgrade to 1st class.
The direction of travel is the important thing to me. Most of us see improvement this season, not just in results but in the way the team feels more cohesive. They look like they're playing for each other. That might not translate in to top 4 this year, but we are in the conversation this year where last year we weren't. If Arteta doesn't improve us more next season then fine, we should look elsewhere. I'm not sure he's the man to take on City and Liverpool. But, for now, there's progress from where we've come from. That's enough, for now.
