I certainly remember the bizarre substitutions and over playing of certain players as well as persisting with out of form players being apparent since Arsene first came to the club. I certainly remember "filler" type players in the squad and the less than talented getting games.
Yes, I think there's something in that. In 2002-2004 there are numerous examples of us collapsing when we should have won trophies (2003 we should have won the league, was in 2002 or 4 when we went out of 2 cups in a week before the Liverpool game).
