Wenger was on his way to quality street when he realised he had no.....
Yes, I think this is the very worst it has been. This is, by far, Wenger's worst start to a league season in his 16 years.
But this season was always going to be a failure the minute we sold our captain to Man Utd. I have no doubt in 5-10 years time, when we've established ourselves as a mid-table (or a lot worse) side, we'll be looking back on that Van Persie sale as the minute we signalled our intent to stop competing. The gradual weakening had been going on for some time but the damage was still reversible up until the moment we lost the one man in the one-man team. There was no coming back from that.
Quite clearly the worst side I have seen as an Arsenal fan. I can't remember the last time if ever a CL club as we are atm go in to a match v a lower league side like Bradford as overwhelming underdogs. That's how shit we have become. Fortunately I'm an optimistic and I think we will just about stay up this season. Next season?.....well we'll see
We don't.

But this is definitely the worst side under Wenger. Contrary to popular belief, Arsenal did exist before then and for much of our history we were much shitter than we are now. But with our resources now, even with the billionaires skewing things, we should be doing much better.
We can't can't seriously compete with the likes of Bradford with all the money and resources they have.
True. Also true is that there were great Arsenal sides before Wenger and if we do not sack Wenger soon, we will probably not have a great Arsenal side for the foreseeable futureWe don't.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

Yeah. In the 1930s.
A lot of (particularly younger) Arsenal fans seem to think that the Wenger side of the late nineties and early noughties is the norm for Arsenal. It really isn't.
but that is now the expected standard. particularly being in this big new shiny stadium. there's no going back to once in a while success, as the whole point of the move was to become a 'super club'.
I think that's a fair point. But Wenger's role in elevating our status and expectations shouldn't be forgotten.
