Get that back into the spine of the first eleven and you'll see a massive difference.

Every successful team has their fair share, we used to. It's no surprise that since they left, we haven't won the league. We used to have players opposing teams loved to hate. Now? Not really. Just written off as skilful technicians.

The biggest problem was that the essential pub ethic that is so essential to winning the PL wasn't passed on by the Invincibles as it was to them by the back four of old. They all shipped out of the club too quickly and so there was no continuation of that ethic. Wenger was never going to instil it, that had to from the players but Wenger clearly didn't value it highly enough. That has been one of his biggest mistakes, especially when he leaves his players to their own devices to much.
Agreed - there was a mentality in those teams that did not put up with any BS from other teams but could dish it out themselves. GN and JC highlighted it in the video, those Arsenal teams had other teams scared in the tunnel before the game because they knew they were in for a fight, GN "it was never fun to play games against Arsenal". Im a believer in the psychological aspect of sport and I do believe that this does influence the outcome of matches.
