Since then, with the deliberate orchestration of AW we have been invited to inhabit a parallel universe where any excuse under the sun has been offered to explain under performance and lack of ambition on and off the pitch. If it were simply that we were cash-strapped, or that the players seemed to be giving their all but were losing to better sides, it would be one thing, but the unberable frustration has been caused by the manager's utter refusal to see, or admit where he is going wrong - or to do anything about it. Wenger has effectively traded on his legacy to garner support - and this is what has set fans so implacably against each other and eroded any vestige of patience.
