I would suggest that anyone who 'saw this coming' has 20:20 hindsight, the thread about how we'd do this season was pretty upbeat.

Fortunately everyone else is so awful too this year we've still got a pretty good chance of finishing in the top 4. Or maybe not so fortunately, as finishing outside the top 4 is the only way Wenger will ever get sacked.
I saw this coming. I think Zimm, I and a few others saw this coming in 2009. The FA Cup was great but Pompey and Wigan won it too... what was not fixed with that cup win was the fact that we are a fundamentally average football team. .It wasnt going to change or is not going to change under Wenger. Every year we thank our lucky stars that others teams are shit... for a club that charges the highest football prices in the Europe, thats a shame.

The only way Wenger is getting the boot is going to be the ugly way.. it shouldnt have happened like this but I dont care about him anymore, nor about his legacy. His 8 million quid a year pay packet will soothe the arse burn... he can piss off from the club!
