The Invincibles

Seeing my beloved Arsenal unbeaten record coming to an end really drives my heart to an abyss. With the away defeated result at Old Trafford in 2004, many critics have been put in place ever since, stipulating the Gunners' untouchable record is now no more than a piece of history. Few commentators predicted the Gunners would finish the season 2004-05 lying on the EPL table no higher than 3rd spot. The Gunners stuck together and worked their head off to reclaim 2nd spot (when they were 5 points behind 2nd spot) and beat the Red Devils on the FA cup final. The intensity of old rivalry between the 2 massive clubs may have been eroded by a ‘third party’ in 2004-05 – the Blues. Chelsea should be congratulated with the consistency they showed so did their arrogance. The Blues have publicly vowed to emulate the Gunners' unbeaten run and soon after the cocky Morinhno's men got a timely fight-back from the tactician Arsene Wenger, saying "for us going through whole season undefeated is a REALITY, for them it is a DREAM". lol

The Gunners could, I strongly believe, count on the season 2004-05 as successful. Arsene Wenger may have paid the price of over-employment on relatively inexperienced youngsters. His faith will definitely be paid off by the talented young stars for the years to come. For now think deeply the likes of Pilippe Senderos, Gael Clichy, Robin van Persie, Mathiey Flamini, Francesc Fabregas, and Jose Antonio Reyes.

You might want to put up that football embraces large elements of varied perspectives, but the numbers do not lie.
· the 49 unbeaten run
· Biggest margin win on 7 - 0 demolition men result
· the sweet victorious over FA cup final
· the Community Shield
· Scoring 87 goals that is the highest goal-scoring team in EPL (15 goals more than Chelsea). Also the highest goal-scoring record under Wenger’s era
· Securing 83 points – third highest under Wenger’s realm
· Wenger has once again proved that he NEVER failed to steer the Gunners falling under 2nd EVER in 8 years.
· Thierry Henry shares the spoils of Golden Boot, manages back-to-back Hat-trick in spite of long-standing minor but nagging injury.


Irrespective of how the football worlds looking at my Gunners, I am still very proud to proclaim that when it comes to fascinating attacking and perfect computer game-like inch' passing football, Arsenal FC remains the only team to go for.

A writer shares his views, which truly reflects the footballing styles of Arsenal. It goes like this……

Though the English Premier League title remains our first priority when fresh season kicks off, we will be ready to challenge the most prestigious cup – Champion League. Not only do we possess the ingredients but also we will be mentally capable of taking the trophy off Anfield.
