What do you mean 'deflect'? Deflect from what?
Do you even understand how debate works? You say something I disagree with so I respond saying why I don't agree and, where relevant, backing up my position with evidence.
You then respond and so on. That is all that is happening.

You stated that Wenger's primary goal is top 4, you backed that up with a quote (which you provided no source for by the way).
I I found an actual source where Wenger said that 4th was his 3rd priority, below the two big competitions and (interestingly) above the FA Cup. And his stated reason for that was that players are more interested in whether we're playing in the CL than whether we won a domestic trophy. The Guardiola quote was an addition to demonstrate that Wenger is not uniquely of the opinion that top 4 is an important benchmark.

Like he did earlier in this match thread when he dismissed another lousy season from Wenger with the excuse that nobody is catching the gypos anyway.
I see you ignored my first post in this thread, or one of the first, where I said that even though City are going mental and no-one is going to catch them, we're not going to be winning titles with this defence or away record.
So no, not dismissing it at all.

Can you really not wrap your head around the idea that someone can think someone should be sacked but not think every criticism of that person is justified? I honestly don't think it's a difficult concept.
