Managers like to talk about learning from failure, developing etc., but if Arsenal finish 2nd on 89 points after something like 13 wins from their last 15, what is there to be said? Keep it up next season and hope City drop off?
Last season they ran out of steam / bottled it based upon your interpretation, but this year they've been the real deal. And winning a poor game 1-0 at OT yesterday is exactly what champions need to do.
Just shows there are zero margins against City. You suspect that had they picked up a few points earlier in the season, City would have found a way to too. The one game you can pinpoint is Villa, but that was not a disastrous result in isolation and wouldn't normally cost you the title when sandwiched between 2 big winning runs.
