I think a top four finish and a trophy should be the expectation. Some may say that's a big jump from where we are to where we need to get to but I think that is part of the problem standards have been allowed to drop so much at the club.
Arteta is lucky to still be in a job, he has to deliver or he must be shown the door.
Exciting football and an improvement in performances from many individuals who have seriously regressed since Arteta took over
75 points?! That would’ve been enough for runner up in the season just gone.

Last season was an awful standard though. Arsenal finished 6 points off CL despite being our worst season many fans on here have ever experienced.
There have been times when 75 points hasn't been enough for top 4.
Top 4 and trophy, no Europe, Arteta love or hate him has been here a while and players should be getting used to him and each other now. Would be embarrassing to finish below Spurs again too.
A poor start, season over by Christmas followed by some results when there's nothing to play for.

Optimistic
We’ll be out of CL qualification by the end of September
Top 4? You guys really think your squad is that good?
I predict Arsenal will get into the Europa Conference next season with a few good buys this summer.
65-68 points and the finished above Spurs trophy

No European football so less games than everyone else and with the right signings there is no reason why top four can't be achieved the teams that made top 4 bar City were all pretty average.

Including the champions league winners? 10/10 for bluster, minus several million for stupidity.
Results in the Champions League now count towards your PL point total?
The CL winners only finished 6 points above the awful Arsenal team, so I would call that a very average performance.

The same champions league winners that lost at home to the likes of West Brom also lost at home to us for the first time in however long and we are supposed to be bad. Surely you get that the league is totally different from a knockout competition?
5th. Need one of City, United, Liverpool or Chelsea to have a poor season to finish any higher.
Take the league cup seriously as no European games.
Should be able to play the best 11 in nearly all games.
£50m Ben White to be on the bench in favour of Rob Holding. Arteta logic
40 points to avoid relegation, anything else is cherry on top.
In terms of the table finish, realistically I'd be happy with top 6. The top 4 seem so far ahead of us now that demanding to finish ahead of City/Lpool/United/Chelsea given the seasons they've had and the squads + managers at their dispoals seems ludicrous.
However my focus is more on the performance of the team as a whole (we need to play fast, fluid, dynamic football), and on individuals players to step up (Auba and to a lesser extent Laca).
If we sign a top class Partner for Partey (ie Locatelli or Bissouma - I'd be disappointed with Ruben Neves), and Maddison then we should be knocking on top 4's door given we have no European football this season.
I wanna see us put up a proper fight for top 4 and play exciting football with players who look like they care.
We've a young squad so if we don't get top 4 straight away I won't see it as a disaster, but we need to be knocking on the door and looking good while doing so.
What the season SHOULD be:
A runaway PL 1st place by virtue of having no midweek fixtures along with the title challengers.
What the season WILL be:
Continuous BOREDOM, FAILURE, MISERY and SHAME! It will not end until Arteta's time at Arsenal does.
