During the Invincibles era, teams came to Highbury prepared to get hammered 2,3 sometimes 4 nil in the 1st 20 mins !!! Such was the speed of our attacking relay team. I remember those days U really have to watch the game from the start, bcoz by the time the ref blew for half time, we usually were up by 2 or 3, sometimes 4.
Then teams began to learn their lesson & not give us so much space, Bolton started this & they play us really close that we couldn't execute our passing. Then we also began to lose Ljungberg, Viera, Pires.. & lastly Henry.. & nobody fear us no more these days. These days teams come to Emirates & know they can get results. & U dun really have to watch the game from the start to catch the goals... (okay some of U here will start to point out Walcott's goal vs Udinese & maybe a few others...but those are extremely rare cases..). & I watch the game nowadays praying all the time that the 90 mins will be over quickly, coz even if we were up by 4, we can still lose the game !! Very stressful.
I dun wanna live in the past glory, but I really miss those days.
