Following their recent defeat to Manchester City, Arsenal and their manager Mikel Arteta stand at a critical juncture. According to chief football writer Phil McNulty, the club must now demonstrate that they are not destined to be remembered as a team that consistently came close but ultimately fell short of glory. While a season of triumph may still be within reach, the challenge is to prove their mettle and transcend the “nearly men” reputation.

Перефразированный текст на русском:
Арсенал и главный тренер Микель Артета могут еще достичь сезона триумфа, но им предстоит доказать, что они не являются командой “почти”, как заявил главный футбольный обозреватель Фил МакНалти после поражения от Манчестер Сити. Клуб должен развеять опасения, что он склонен к тому, чтобы постоянно быть вторым или упускать главные трофеи.
