It's Wenger who has given the club 20 or so consecutive seasons in the top 4 with Champions League football attached. It's Wenger who has won them the FA Cup 7 times and the league 3 times. He's done this by paying relatively small dosh (compared to the other Big 6), and, to cap it all, has coached his teams to play fantastic football - IMHO in spells, they've played the best football I've ever seen.
So now, because of the fact that they'm HAVEN'T got a top 4 place, he's a failure. A victim of his own success for sure ......but what makes the Arsenal twats think they've a God given right to this? It's WENGER who's achieved this for you, you ungrateful idiots. Grow up and give him your support rather than moan about this season of abject failure!

Phew, feel better now
Totally agree, Drewks.
The bloke has guided the Club through the hard times when they were still Top 2 or 3 despite spending £390m on the new Stadium to 2006. (Their fickle fans - Piers Morgan included - thought he was a god for this.)
Net spend since 2006-07:
Arsenal: £109.2m
Chelsea: £343m
Liverpool: £235.5m
Man Utd: £445.2m
Man City: £826m
Wenger could have had a strop every year for the past 10 years, but he's a clever businessman, as well as being a top Football Club Manager, and he saw the need for prudent spending, which his Directors have insisted on.
So they go a few years without winning the Prem and their plastic fans want something/sombody/anybody to blame.
I like Arsenal (though I didn't before Wenger), but I'd love them to replace him with anyone (like ManU and Ferguson), and watch them slide....just to hear who their "fans" blame then.
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with
