My team lost the plot on La Liga a long long time ago so I am rooting for Sevilla there, Liverpool here, and Dortmund in Germany
Teams do not need to become champions to really celebrate a season. If you played well enough, as well as expected, and did not disappointed, then another team could just be even better and be champions and that's fine. Like if Arsenal finishes in top 4, that would be great right? We all know that would be great, but at the end of the day we are talking about not becoming champions there, which is a proof that you do not need to be champions to be happy with your result.
Liverpool is a great team and they do want to be champions which is understandable but finishing second with not too much points behind City would still be a cause to celebrate if you ask me. Although I am not a big fan of LFC, in fact not a fan of any team, so maybe I am just wrong, LFC could answer that better, all I am doing here is just guessing what people are thinking or would think.

It isn't as easy as all that to judge how happy you are to celebrate. For sure, if you did your best, then everything is celebrated regardless of the result. On the other hand if you played like shit and still won everything, I guess 99% of fans would celebrate anyway (I would celebrate a bit less) for example winning walkovers will never taste sweet.
Arsenal finishing top 4 would be great in comparison to where they were last season. Any improvement should be celebrated!
The big target for Arsenal is top 4, if they can somehow squeeze into CL qualification spots it will set them up nicely. More money which leads to better chances of winning trophies because better players want to join them. I will be rooting for Arsenal to get top 4.
Arsenal needs to push extra hard if they want to stay in top 4 and it's not going to be easy, but they just need to keep wining and performing on the field.
I think they are in solid form but they have problem with scoring goals sometimes, with only 33 goals scored in 21 matches.
Compare that with Man City 55, Liverpool 58 or Chelsea 48 and you see the difference, they don't have best defense either but is not a problem when they play at home.
Arteta really shows his class by guiding his youngsters but I think the problem stems from a lack of leadership. To keep changing captains, and then to give captaincy to players who don't look like they want it. Arsenal don't need to worry about losing like you said, they just need to win the games they should, and they'll be in Top 4.
