English teams have had a bad season but Man U gave real game and as mentioned Chelsea won it last season and these teams will be back next season........not so sure about us, we have definitely been in decline, something he refuses to acknowledge, he still talks about our quality, spirit and the mentality of the team without recognising it's his weakest group of players and that there's barely a world class player in the squad.

He's so good at deflecting criticism away from us and pretending everything is rosy, this is what makes me think he won't make many changes in the summer, it's the same cycle repeating itself over and over again, I simply don't understand how anyone could keep making the same errors for so long.
Chelsea finished outside of the top 4 last year and there is a possibility the same will happen again this year. I think Wenger has point because this isn't an agenda he's all of a sudden conjured up. In the build all they talked about was us being the last English team in the competition and he continued the dialogue. He’s not wrong even if we are in decline as a force. Chelsea went out early, they’re supposed to be the defending champs, City went out early (Prem Champs), Man Utd are out and this isn’t the best team they’ve had…we’re seeing a lot of English teams in transition at the moment. The top teams are nowhere near as strong as what they were 3-4 years ago.
