Arsenal is being massively outspent by Chelsea, Man U, and City, particularly over the last 5 years or so. Heck, all those clubs now possess former Arsenal starters who left to get paid. One could argue the Gunners EPL ceiling is now 4th place. When you don't have the talent you can't expect the club to compete with the big spenders over the long run.

And while the losses to Bradford and Blackburn were inexcusable, I think Wenger is being used as scapegoat. Give him the kind of transfer funds Abramovich or the Sheik give their clubs and watch him start winning the trophies and subsequently get declared a genius again..
