'A club of this stature needs silverware'
- Published
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.
Mick asked: Although Arsenal are still in with a decent chance of catching Liverpool, there is a real danger of this season being yet another case of 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride', if they were to finish second for the third year in a row. In fact, some Arsenal fans are inclined to give the manager only one more season to win the Premier League, before getting rid of him.
So will it be 'Four weddings and a funeral' for Mikel Arteta?
Phil answered: As you say Mick, Arsenal are still in with a chance of catching Liverpool but Arne Slot's team are in a strong position.
The Gunners are also straight into the last 16 of the Champions League, so I wouldn't be questioning Mikel Arteta's future, but there is no doubt he needs to start winning a trophy soon, having last won the FA Cup in 2020.
Arsenal have made progress under him, but a club of their stature needs silverware and it needs to arrive sooner rather than later. The club has great faith in the manager but mistakes have been made in not signing a striker, which may still cost them dear this season.
In the end, though, it is about trophies and Arteta needs one. If that's not this season, then it certainly has to be next.
