On May 15 in 2004, the day Arsenal's name was flying althrough England, the day the north London club finished the whole season going unbeaten in 38 competitive matches.
The lone squad to accomplish this exceptional accomplishment after Preston North End in 1888-89.
From being unbeaten in 38 games to no European football, how the powerful have fallen in the wake of insolidarity.
Arsene Wenger was the manager of the club from 1996-2018. In this long term residency, the Frenchman had taken his squad to 3 Premier League, 7 FA cup, 7 community shield wins.
Without a doubt the Invincibles period was the best long stretches of his administrative career, the years that followed were not so wonderful for him.
The horror was obvious in the last long stretches of Wenger, as he regulated some odd enlistments, nonchalant spending on players whom the club needed to pay to leave, and building a side that slipped into unremarkableness.
The Invincibles squad was apparently the best at any point in the Premier League. In any case, the north Londoners never figured out how to hold these players on a drawn out premise.
A few players who were a necessary piece of the squad left for different clubs in the accompanying seasons. Wenger acquired players yet they couldn't accomplish the guidelines set by their archetypes.
Things took an uncommon turn in 2017 when Arsenal endured a humiliating loss to Bayern Munich across two legs with a scoreline of 10-2. This outcome end up being the last nail in the final resting place for Wenger, as the Frenchman left the club the following season.
Unai Emery was signed as Arsenal's administrator toward the beginning of the 2018 season. During his short spell in London, the Spaniard figured out how to keep the squad unbeaten for 22 games in the Premier League that season.
He even driven the Gunners to the Europa League final yet neglected to get Arsenal's first European prize after they lost to London rivals, Chelsea.
Seeing the absence of aim from players and helpless outcomes, the fans turned their indignation towards Emery. He was under a ton of pressing factor from the fans and the administration. He was sacked not long after, leaving behind the squad in chaos.
In December 2019, the Emirates club appointed formee midfielder, Mikel Arteta, as their lead trainer. In his first season, the Spaniard drove them to a record fourteenth FA Cup win.
Notwithstanding, that noteworthy success is by all accounts ancient history as the Gunners have hit an extraordinary failure. They finished eighth in successive seasons and have passed up European capability without precedent for a very long time now.
The present status of Arsenal can't simply be accused on the manager and players as the club's proprietors and board have had a significant influence in this Downfall.
Long periods of fumble of resources, ill-advised utilization of assets, and an absence of responsibility appeared by the proprietors has driven the club to this miserable circumstance.
The gunners are presently stuck in a circle and they will think that its difficult to emerge from it. Without European football and the pandemic effect on spending plans, it will be hard to draw in top-class players.
What the North London club and the crew urgently require are certainty, tolerance, and a supernatural manager in charge. One might dare to dream for more quiet oceans and more splendid days ahead. No one but time can tell now.
