Arsenal a side still to be feared?

 Remember those days where the name 'Arsenal Fc' stuck a fear into every living soul in the premier league and even humbled those who stood up to them?..Remember when we were absolutely sure they would beat teams out of the top 4?Remember not worrying if they went a goal behind? Well that was the invincibles for you..The name of Robert Pires,Thierry Henry,Fredrik Ljunberg and others just gave us our money and time worth just watching them..

 ut since the disappearance of that golden generation(Clichy,Van persie and Lehmann the only current players from that squad) are Arsenal a side still to be feared anymore?..Emirates stadium haven't celebrated a single success since replacing the history filled Highbury stadium which probably would make get those supersitious people thinking 'what if we didn't leave,would things be different'..Well possibly but with a side which has clearly been replaced with plastic instead of Steel has lost it's golden touch ever since the golden generation left..

 No denying the fact that young players could add more stamina to the side but was it to stupid just to release all the oldies at once?..With an average side of only 24 years old..This current philosophy which i deem stupid if your playing in a top league where teams don't give a damn even if your a teenager...Arsene has to act fast and not become a stubborn little kid..Doesn't mean his a El professor in this field means he shouldn't listen to anybody..

 Placing a keeper who went out on loan in a second division side?..Defender who just 2 seasons ago was playing in a 4th division side in France?...In positions in what are literally a foundation of a team?That's crazy talk!I wouldn't have any problems if this was the Championship but this is the Premier league for crying out and in league deemed the top 4 best in the world it's obvious you would need serious experience..Look at Man Utd for example,they have a great mixture of experience chumps and young kids in the team,Chelsea no different and even the best club in the World Barcelona do it..So why Arsenal should be different if it's not reaping fruits?

 And to justify my thoughts,they lost to a side who have been having a few up and downs in the league in the form of Stoke.A side which they could have comfortable beaten but found their end of a defeat..Lack of defence steel and bad passing the culprit again and Not doing anything?...I feel sorry for those paying over priced tickets just to watch crap..Looks like the talk of the premier league and most feared side(the other Man Utd who are still on fire) are long forgotten...

 Anyway here's a few pics to bring back memories of the best in the Arsenal business :)
