While most of the fans were 100% committed to Wenger staying on and doing more and more catastrophic damage every year, some fans warned of the inevitable outcome. Those fans were hounded to the ends of the earth because they blasphemed against the holy Wenger. But as each new year passed, the warnings assumed more urgency. Some people, who have eyes that can see, saw us drifting to mid-table mediocrity. And we were called out and condemned by people who don't know the first thing about football. Now inevitability is inevitably apparent. And some horrific apologists want Arteta to carry the blame.

It has always been Wenger. Don't forget it. Don't try to cover it up.
