@EarnOnVictor in my personal opinion this is one of most successful season Arsenal ever had because they single handedly managed to put pressure on City when other teams had already lost their way. Furthermore Arteta has got them back in the champions league and if backed in the transfer window I’m sure that he’ll get them trophies next season hence overall their fan’s shouldn’t be disappointed because at the start of the season no one even thought that they could be in the title race yet they managed to stun all till the very end.

A successful season for Arsenal? I don't think so, they did what other teams couldn't do which was giving Pep's boys a lot of headache just to secure the EPL title but when it's time to show why they [Arsenal] have been at the top they fell and let City being crowned Champions on the day they [Arsenal] lost to Nottingham Forest, is just a shameful success. I can't really tell how the fans feel right now, knowing that they're not capable of competing for the EPL title.
It would have been a SUCCESSFUL SEASON if they won the league but finishing second is a NO NO for me, what are they going to do in the Champions league? Facing Bayern and losing 5-0 again? This season is a big mess for Arsenal.

You are taking the absolute perspective here, meaning that you put it into binary terms saying that a title is success, no title is no success. I agree to some degree because Arsenal did a great job for quite some time during this season, but losing the title against one of the best Manchester City teams we have ever seen really isn't a catastrophe.

You could also say that Arsenal outcompeted Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea. If anyone said that before the 22/23 season, hardly anyone would have believed it. What is bad is how they played in recent weeks. This wasn't really the Arsenal we got to know deep into the second half of the season. That's a bad ending for them, but in total the season was probably more successful than they expected.

Competing with Manchester City these days is hard, isn't it?
