A Devastating Blow
This season marked Al Arabi's first slump in league football. The team finished third place, following Al-Qadsiya in their third consecutive 2nd place spot, with Al-Kuwait winning their first trophy and becoming the second team to win the league and also the second team with a perfect undefeated season of 7 wins and 3 draws. Al-Qadsiya also became the first team to win the Prince Cup, therefore stealing Al Arabi from winning any major trophy that year. It was known as the drought season by most Al-Arabi historians.

Famous quotes containing the words devastating and/or blow:
“Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework—an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self- sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.”
—Betty Friedan (b. 1921)
“Look, we’re all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house—in the bedroom he’s asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he’s rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he’s paying his taxes, in the yard he’s raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he’s making a bomb to blow it all up.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
