Others have caught us up and overtaken us, no shame in that of course though maybe we have played our own part in that.

The EL, which would be nice to win of course, cannot be viewed in any way other than the very poor relation of the European Cup, a quick browse through the teams we have beaten to reach this stage, and the actual quality of the games in the tournament more importantly, will reinforce that belief. Fulham and Celtic have reached finals in this tournament over the years ffs.

The 3 FA Cup wins was of course an achievement but even then this domestic cup has lost some of its sheen even when viewed in comparison to wins earlier in his tenure.

The comparison with Spurs is a total irrelevance.

Of course you would still be coming along with these utterly pointless and moronic posts.

Hope that is in some way the reaction you so clearly sought.

I guess my point was that when our grandchildren ask us why Arsene Wenger left and we sit them on our knee, tenderly stroke the arch of their back under their jumpers and gently explain that he turned into a useless shít**** in the last few years of his tenure, then they might well look at the stats and be somewhat confused that he could have left under such a sour note.
