I agree that it should not be the limit of our ambition but ultimately the league tells you where you are as a club and we've consistently been one of the best 4 clubs in the country over the past 6 years. Some people act like any idiot could have kept us top 4 when other clubs failure to get and stay there (without spending utterly ridiculous sums of money) should show that it's not as easy as some on here indicate.

All that said, given that we've been up there our failure to land a trophy is damning. That is where Wenger has failed.
I don't think they have, they have spent money to try and win things including maybe the PL...it's not just money spent to be in the top 4, unlike ourselves.

For us top 4 is hailed as some major trophy, for other clubs whilst they are very happy to get into the top 4, they then set their goals higher once achieved, that's not to say they achieve them but at least they try.

A top 4 place is seen as a stepping stone.
