The fear factor has GONE

It has been a long and hard decade since Arsenal last won the Premier League and despite the introduction of top players, including Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona in the summer, no improvement in fortunes has been seen.

Teams like Southampton and West Ham are proving that so-called smaller clubs can challenge a so-called big club like Arsenal for league positions and points out just how far the Gunners have fallen under Wenger.

Arsenal are no longer seen as the giants of English football that they once were.
