'Buy wisely' and 'keep the faith'
We asked for your views on whether Mikel Arteta will be under pressure next season to win trophies and in particular, the Premier League. Lower down this page, you'll note BBC Sport pundit Clinton Morrison explained Arteta will be facing are some of your comments:Jack: Everyone outside the club can say Arteta is under pressure all they like. The fact is, the club doesn't think he's to blame for not winning the Premier League this season and neither do the vast majority of fans. There's another level of investment required to take the final step. But the fact that everyone universally agrees Arsenal have been undone by their lack of a clinical striker and then simultaneously claims that it's Arteta who's holding the club back, is just logically Of course, he will be under pressure, but then so will 19 other Premier League managers. Expectations at Arsenal will always be high, but pressure is a privilege. John: I disagree Mikel Arteta will be under pressure next season. Injuries have cost us dearly, however being patient and getting the right players in during the summer will pay dividends for next season. Buy wisely in the summer and this team have the ability to win trophies for many a Without a doubt. With just one FA Cup to show for £600m spent on players, his return on equity is desperately poor to say the least, even if we have finished second three times in succession. Take the Olympics for instance, a country with one gold medal is ranked above another with any number of silver or bronze medals but no gold. It's the same here. Win the title or a big cup and Arteta is a made man. Nothing else will All managers are under pressure - there's no difference because it's Arsenal. Arteta has done magnificently over the years. I don't know who you call in to take us further, as in a manager replacement. Some silly red cards and injuries ruined us this year but with stronger backing from the board to get the key forward(s) in then let's see how we Arteta is obviously under pressure. However it makes no sense to fire him. Who else is there? He has given us great moments and should be offered a longer contract to finish the job. I have been a fan for 60+ years. I've seen managers from Bertie Mee to George Graham. Let's keep the faith.

Is Arteta under pressure to deliver success next season?
Will Mikel Arteta be under pressure at the beginning of next season? Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison believes so after Arsenal came up short in this campaign and their wait goes on for a first domestic title in over 20 years. "This was their best opportunity," said Morrison on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "If you look at the points they have got over recent seasons then you can see they have been nowhere near good enough this season. "They have been pushing Manchester City right to the wire, but not this season. I credit Liverpool because they have been consistent but I think this campaign was a great opportunity or Arsenal. "I know they have had injuries but every club has. For me, I say it every time I am asked and I just do not see how you can win the Premier League without a number nine. "That is what Arsenal need and that is probably what they will strengthen in the summer. But for me, Mikel Arteta is under pressure at the start of next season. "The club will back him this summer and allow him to sign players but he needs to start winning trophies and in particular the Premier League. "They are the 'nearly club' at the moment, so they need to be better." Do you agree? Is Arteta under pressure early next season? Tell us Listen to the Football Daily podcast on BBC Sounds

'You know how you have to stay professional? I couldn't!'
Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison says he struggled to "stay professional" at Wembley as Palace held their nerve to lift the FA Cup. Morrison, who was commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live for the game, told the Football Daily podcast "it is bonkers" that the South London club are going to be playing European football. "Everyone thought Manchester City were favourites but Palace always had a glimmer of hope because of the attacking players they have as well as a great manager in Oliver Glasner," said Morrison. "The message is to take the cup seriously because that is what Glasner has done since the very first round. He has put out a strong team in every game. "I was in the commentary box, and you know how you have to stay professional? I couldn't! Crystal Palace are going to be playing Europa League football. "It is bonkers! I never thought I would see that in my lifetime." Listen to the full discussion on BBC Sounds
