Does anyone else find it extraordinary that there were those questioning whether Mourinho's job was secure after Chelsea's poor Premiership start - despite him being fresh EPL winner, and having a CV better than any other manager, possibly ever, yet there have been few if any such questions about Wenger despite perennial mediocrity compared to the top teams - the assumption being that he will chose himself when he leaves.

Actually, its not extraordinary so much as very sad. The reason why Wenger's position is not questioned is that the world knows, and expects that our level is that of an also ran - so when league or CL performance confirms this it causes barely a ripple.
Very true, he has the easiest job on football, immunity from the sack and criticism from his bosses, he gets paid a shedload to deliver 4th place, tells you all you need to know about this club, it's got a losers mentality, it's happy with sitting 4th and getting to the last 16 in the CL every year, we've heard all the excuses under the sun for years now, now it's clear the money is there, there's no more excuses and Wenger is being shown up for what he really is and 2nd tier manager.
