The Baggies have banished their reputation of being a yo-yo club between the top two divisions by guaranteeing a fourth successive campaign of Barclays Premier League football.And, as a result, he believes Arsenal's current run without a trophy is just part of football's cycle of different teams enjoying periods of success.But Clarke knows eighth-placed Albion have to continue to look to strengthen ahead of the encounter with Arsenal at the Hawthorns.It's just the way it is in football that, at different times, different clubs will be up there challenging and being the main one or two.He said: "We have been thinking about next season's plans since September last year. It's something we're always looking and thinking about, how we can improve what we have.This year it has boiled down to one (Manchester United) which is unusual and not so good for the competition, I don't think.We would like to think that's going to continue, but if you stand still in the Premier League, other teams come charging past you.Meanwhile, Nacho Monreal has revealed manager Arsene Wenger has given him an abundance of self-confidence since signing for Arsenal.It's important we don't stand still, it's important we look to improve the squad we have and give the players we've got a bit of help for next season.
