And it's massively frustrating, especially when I really think this squad are capable of more.
But when you consider how hard other clubs have tried to break into the top 4, how much money they've spent to leapfrog us. For all his faults Wenger has seen them all off except Chelsea and now City who we really can't compete with while they have effectively infinite resources.
This is where my conflict lies. In some ways he's done brilliantly to keep us top 4. In other ways he's made baffling, repeated mistakes which have stopped a very talented squad from achieving its potential. It's a maddening combination.
But Wenger isn't suddenly the clueless muppet some on here make out, we wouldn't still be top 4 were that so.
