For Arsenal 4th should be the minimum expectation in my opinion.

Why? Football is relative. If you were an Arsenal supporter you would have different expectations than you do as a United fan. Arsenal had a torrid season, again, and that couldn't be addressed when we were adrift in midtable or 7 points behind Spurs. Spurs didn't collapse either, yet we went on a very good run to get fourth. So the players and fans are happy. It was wafer thin for weeks now, you're seeing relief at play.
We all want more than forth at the start of the season but there you go. This summer needs to see investment to ensure we're not here again and we have an advantage in that we have no big player to leave as we did the last two years.
Also when we say trophy all that really matters for a top club in the CL or the Premiership. I would rather be in the Champions League than win the FA Cup (as much as I do want to win the FA Cup).
