That said, we should have some trophies in that era. Now we have the money to compete there were some promising signs but Wenger has failed to push us on and for that he should be sacked. But he'll leave us with a squad which should be able to compete with a few additions and enough money to allow us to stay competitive.
Things could have gone better but they could certainly have gone a lot worse.
You're still going to use the money excuse then? Even after this season?

What Leicester and West Ham and even Watford have shown us is if you give an outsider just a tiny bit more of the pie then they can do great things. Well we may not have had as much cash as the chavs and the gypos but we certainly had more of the pie than Leicester City, and for a lot longer than a single season too.

The money excuse is gone. Exposed. Dead.

What has top 4 ever actually done for us, btw? Has the CL been prestigious or embarrassing for us? Yes I know we got the cash, but how much of that was spent at the key moments when we could have really improved? When we were just a little but short? So many transfer windows.

Wenger kept us in the top 4 but consistently failed to do what it takes to go on and at least try to win that competition. A decade ago we made the final with players like Henry and Vieira in the team. Ten years on, what exactly does this Top Four Trophy give us? It has attracted the likes of Ozil and Alexis, but what have THEY given us?

I'm not trying to blame the players or anything else except one thing. One person and we know who it is. No more excuses for him.
