Good end to the season overall and a a cup double preventing Arsenal from doing a Domestic Treble provided a little extra joy.
Top 6 whilst expected from Man United probably felt a long way off a few months ago after a slow and stuttering start to the season seemingly way off the pace more so in attack of remember rightly.

Yes, Arsenal were certainly the preferable option to win the league, but I didn't really feel like them winning all three domestic titles. Plus reaching the semi final in the Champions League as well. Good season for them. Liverpool were also knocked out of the semi final with a first ever El Clasico to decide it. Barcelona eventually winning it 1-0.
With a better ending I might have got a 5th place, but top 4 was a closed group this season, and I was far away from getting an invitation there. As you say, my attack simply wasn't good enough for that, so that has to be the focus for the new season.
Breaking news Leeds United were 🤏 that close to signing Emile Smith-Rowe but we're priced out of the move then bringing in Anthony Gordon instead while Smith-Rowe joins rivals Manchester United instead
Couldn't resist when I saw the signing, I nearly signed him during previous window but was priced out of the move and took the cheaper Gordon option 😂

Haha, how fun. I almost opted against it with his recent injury record. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to sign other easily breakable players, now that Mount's hardly played a game yet and Lisandro Martinez also happens to be out of the squad again and again. But I suppose that's also what it takes for a club like Arsenal to allow him to move away. And at £16m it was very hard to resist.

He was a lot more expensive and playing in Spain I think in my career can't remember off top of my head but definitely wasn't at Arsenal. Think he was 83/84 ovl not much higher than Gordon at time but fee they wanted was over 45mil
