Full focus on tomorrow London Colney Speaking to Premier League Productions (via ), Wright highlighted that no Gunners fan expected the club to finish in the top four at the start of the season. So missing out on the top four will be a disappointment but not a failure. He : "It's progress. At the start of the season, no Arsenal fan would have had them in the top four at this stage.

They flew close to the sun, and the fans went with them with their eyes wide open. What we've seen that when right when it really matters, the players didn't respond in a pressurised situation.Against Newcastle and Tottenham, it just didn't happen, and you have to say this is where we are. It was disappointment but not failure."
