Arsenal's season can be viewed through different lenses. Having held an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, a position they occupied for 248 days of the campaign, there is no escaping the feeling of an opportunity missed.
But the collapse of their title challenge does not change the fact that they have taken a giant leap forward this season. Arsenal were considered by almost everyone - albeit not this writer - as unlikely to even finish in the top four, never mind fight for the title.
Yet, with the second-youngest team in the division, they have accrued the club's highest points total since the Invincibles. A lack of depth, and Manchester City's relentlessness, ultimately did for them, but the first three quarters of the season were utterly exhilarating.
It was a joy to watch their young stars flourish and the high points over the course of the campaign were numerous, including wins both home and away against Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as victories over Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle.
