As we are coming to the climax of a wonderful and thrilling football season around the world, the focus has been on Arsenal for the last few weeks. After staying on top of the table with an almost perfect campaign till the 30th matchday, it is confirmed that they have bottled the title. 

The Gunners' form presents a sad picture, having secured only nine out of a potential 24 points in their last eight games. Meanwhile, their rivals, Manchester City, have been on an unstoppable 11-game victory streak. 

"Heal the next few days, it is very painful, I'm extremely sad." Arteta said after losing the match against bottom team Nottingham Forest 0-1. 

This is the toughest league in the world.  He needs to focus on recovery of players and him- not only physically but mentally too. It has been a long season, so much pain and pressure, especially the last two months. They need to look at things in a more professional way, which is now more important. They should approach the final match against Wolves on 28th May in a positive way, win and end the season with some smiles. The fans, critics and media who are criticizing continuously are just viewers, who watched the results of hard work put in from those magnificent players and coaching staff. Team should stand together and appreciate the effort as a success, even though they are not the champions. They have achieved enough, including a ticket to next season's Champions league.
