If the same rules for CL applied to the past top 4 teams going through

[Pat Vegas]

we'd have qualified

93/94
91/92
90/91
89/90
88/89
86/87
80/81
79/80

I can't be bothered to go back any further.

other notable years include 95/96 where we finished 5th but level on points with Villa.

Apart from a few seasons such as 94/95 92/93 82/83 we have always been around that 7th - 1st spot.

So Wenger is rather good.

[Pokster]

is he as good as he was, can he get back to being that good or is this a steady decline?

oh

[Pat Vegas]

[Luis Anaconda]

a) we aren't without him (take Costa's goals from Chelsea and they wouldn't be doing so well)
b) If we were without him someone else would be playing their
c) We are actually midtable anyway :hide:

half a dozen seasons. (or more)

[gco40203]

so actually your "data" shows that we would have qualified regularly for CL long before AW arrived.
