Arsenal, mate, they’ve been around long enough to know the game inside out. Nothing’s more gut-wrenching than a season’s end and still not quite nailing it. You think about the Invincibles—2003-04, the season they didn’t lose a single game. That’s poetry, that’s legend. They finished top of the league, unbreakable, untouchable. But man, those glory days? They’re rare.
Then you’ve got the seasons that sting a bit more. A little underwhelming, maybe a slip-up or two, and suddenly the trophies slip through your fingers. Arsène Wenger’s era, it was a rollercoaster – highs of Premier League glory in 2002, FA Cups, then those lows of near-misses. End of seasons where they looked like champions but fell short. That’s football, mate. It’s a brutal game, and Arsenal’s been no stranger to heartbreak.
Fast forward, and the recent years, they’re plugging gaps—signing new guys, trying to get that magic back. But consistency? That’s the key. End of season performances now tell a story of a club fighting to find its rhythm again. Some seasons, they’re right in the mix, fighting for European spots. Others, they fall back, leave fans shaking their heads, wondering what’s next.
You can’t forget their resilience, though. Arsenal’s all about fighting till the last whistle, standing tall, even after setbacks. It’s the heart of the Gunners. So, as they stare down another season’s end, one thing’s clear—this club’s got the fire, the history, and the guts to bounce back. They’ve seen highs and lows, but they’re never out for long. And that’s what makes the story of Arsenal’s end-of-season battles always worth watching.
COYG, let’s make this season’s run-in a good one! The second half v Liverpool was a great start! Keep it going!
Cheers.

Fabrizio Romano reports Jorginho will head to Flamengo in Brazil on a free transfer this summer.
Romano also reports the Gunners will be looking this summer for a striker, a winger, defenders and more to strengthen the club for next season.
Gary Neville on Arsenal’s weaknesses, “They’ve left themselves woefully short up top, and they still haven’t got a player in midfield from deep who can receive the ball on the back foot, and Zubimendi, we think, might come to Arsenal. They’ve got to deal with that – Partey is not great at that, Declan Rive has proven in the first leg v PSG that’s he’s not great at it, he’s better going forwards. So those two key positions, they need two forwards and they need another midfield player.”
