So today marks the final day of the 2013/14 Premier League season and what a season it has been.
For Arsenal it has been a tale of two halves, after such a strong start (ignoring the opening day defeat) and then seeing us crumble under the pressure since February. We've picked ourselves up a little recently and have an FA Cup Final to look forward to next weekend, so it's not been all bad.
I definitely believe that if we didn't have the injuries to our players this season then we would be going for much more than fourth place. The players should be geared up though for today's final league game of the season, knowing they have the chance to lift a trophy for the first time in nine years on Saturday. There certainly have been promising signs from the squad this year, and Wenger now needs to see them finally prove they are a title winning side.
Keeping our main players together, securing the contract extensions of key players, and seeing a couple of new faces have only benefited us this season, but I do now feel it is time for one or two to leave once the season is well and truly done.
It seems quite obvious who will be leaving us this summer, and there are strong rumours linking us to a couple of big names which is always exciting, and I will discuss these once the season is done.
It's not all sad though that the season ends. It's exciting to see who will lift the trophy with Liverpool and City playing at the same time (channel switching between the two games will be happening!) We're involved in the FA Cup Final next weekend and of course the FIFA World Cup starts in a few weeks.
Enjoy the game and let's hope we give ourselves a good run-out ahead of the final.
Finally, thanks for following this year. I have not been able to find the time to blog so much in the last couple of months but I enjoy writing about whatever comes into my head about the club I have supported my entire life. I'll be posting once again when the season is over. Here's to next season!
