How did lolpool, Chelsea, and United all finish outside of the top 4 places during that time then?

We all know plenty of them on OA.
Not seen one post demanding loyalty.
Yeah the facts are the facts and I can’t argue that the last 4 seasons of Wenger haven’t been better than the first 4 seasons post Wenger.
Lots of that is on this pathetic club not knowing what people to appoint though.

Sometimes I blame Arsene for not implementing a proper succession plan. But then again there’s only so much one can do.
Everybody with a working set of eyes can tell you that regardless of how the 4 seasons after him have gone - his dismissal was long overdue.
It’s easy for people like BW to romanticise the last 5-6 years of Wenger time at Arsenal but was awful. We never looked capable of challenging for major honours, we were routinely embarrassed in Europe and we lost a title to Leicester fucking City
On top of that, Wenger recruitment became disastrous and he was steady dishing out big contracts to undeserving players leaving us with a bloated squad and an inflated wage bill

Losing the league to Leicester was more catastrophic than us missing out on top 4.

Yeah mate as you’re aware, I was an advocate for Wenger’s departure several years before it finally happened.

I would also add being top of the league at Christmas time , losing Eduardo to a horrific injury and Wenger signed an injured midfielder on loan until the end of the season.
What was that about.
Crazy !
I remember listening to Stan Collymore who was at the Emirate’s stadium.
The fans and game was well over ,
Collymore said to these words
‘I’m looking down on the magnificent Emirates pitch , there are 22 tractors cutting the pitch, the club have all these but won’t go and buy a goal scorer’
That summed everything up about the last years of Wengers tenure.
