But as long as they keep being in the title competition Arteta's seat would be consolidated. Even if they drop from the title competition early but finish in top 4 anyway I wouldn't expect the board to even think for once about parting ways with Arteta. He is the one who has brought the team to this level in the first place.
Arsenal was only leading 1 point and what was the special thing about that? Even arsenal could still bottle it when the club was leading the league with huge gaps toward the second place.
Manchester city and liverpool can just surpass arsenal again once the gunner will make a mistake. Don't put your hope too much for arsenal. You will be disappointed once it will be bottled it again.
Arsenal was just arsenal and it will never have winning mentality. So many times we have seen that arsenal failed to win EPL.
I agree with you don't expect too much from arsenal because even last season we were disappointed because at the end of the league they lost their consistency even though previously they could lead the EPL but they lost their concentration.
Nevertheless Arteta always brings hope, and yesterday's match against Lens was a big surprise that can be considered again to judge Arsenal.
