I have backed Arsenal to win the Premier League for two successive seasons. I was wrong last year and - even after Tuesday's demolition of Chelsea - there is a decent chance that Mikel Arteta will go without a trophy once more.
So would that represent failure for this team and this manager? I don't think so. And here's why: very few teams do what Leicester did and win the Premier League out of nowhere. Very few teams pop up all of a sudden and land a major trophy.
The vast majority have to go close and fail.
