'That’s not progress…,' ‘Savage’ Mikel Arteta has a blunt response to Arsenal scripting club history with 27 Premier League wins for the first time in 130 years

These 27 wins this season is the most in this club's history. That's not progress, that's history! That's very difficult to do in the League we're playing in now. Mikel Arteta said in an interview

Despite being one of the major reasons for Arsenal‘s success, he deflected all the praise to his players and staff. The Gunners have Everton at home in their final match of the season.

Mikel Arteta thanks players for ‘opening the box of dreams’, hopes Tottenham can ‘help’ Arsenal

Arsenal still have everything to fight for on the final matchday of the Premier League. The Gunners pulled off a commendable 1-0 win over a Manchester United side desperately looking for points. Following the win, Mikel Arteta’s men have a shot at the title, but will need City to drop points against either Tottenham Hotspur or West Ham United.

We have opened the box of dreams to live the final day of the season in front of our fans. We want to live that moment, and it's part of our journey to live the occasion. Mikel Arteta said in an interview

The Spaniard was also banking on Tottenham to do his side a favor by pulling off a result on Tuesday. City are behind Arsenal by a single point, but still have a game in hand.

Another detail worth mentioning is that Tottenham Hotspur thanked their fans for their support throughout the season after their 2-1 win against Burnley. What is uncanny is that clubs thank their fans on the final day of the season and Spurs still have City to play at home.

Several fans criticized the club for the same, claiming that they didn’t even count the game against City as something worth playing. Spurs’ recent form also doesn’t give much hope for Arsenal fans.
