Match Reaction v West Brom (home) 15/16

Yes because it’s a stupid distortion of the truth by Wenger. People aren’t criticising just because Leicester are in front. They are criticising for watching the same season unfold yet again. And they are criticising because when all the other ‘big’ teams made it clear they weren’t in with a shout of the title and we stil were, we absolutely screwed it up. If we had been off the pace all season like Utd or Chelsea, or City to a degree, then we can lump ourselves into their category. But the reality is, we can't. We kept ourselves in the race until the usual point in the season when the increase in pressure becomes too much for Wenger and his players to handle.

The only area where i don't agree with you is that i don't think it would have been any more acceptable had we fallen off the pace the same time chelsea and united did.
City in actual fact only fell out of the title race a few weeks before we did.
But i do agree broadly with what your saying, when city who would have still been the favourites up until February lost back to back games at home to Leicester and spurs fell away that should have been the green light for us to go full steam ahead, but we just clammed up.
Like we clammed up in 2008, Like we clammed up in 2011, Like we clammed up in 2014.

I do discuss this a lot with my Brother who whilst certainly isn't an AKB, he is of the opinion that Wenger should not be sacked and deserves the entire length of his contract to try and achieve something....because he feels the club owes it to Wenger for his consistency in a period where he has had nothing to spend and had to sell our best players (yeah fair to say i don't agree with him).
He believes if Wenger is unable to win the title next season his contract should not be renewed, but he believes managers aren't given enough time and Wenger can only be judged on his performances from 2014 onwards (again i disagree with him)
