MY OVER VIEW:Arsenal may have been off the pace in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/1993, but they made up for it by winning both FA and League Cup.
The EPL crown eluded them until 1998 - two years into manager Arsene Wenger's tenure - when they the league and FA cup double. Under the Frenchman, the Gunners shook off their "boring" image and began to play some of the most attractive football in England.
In 8 of his 11 seasons at club, Arsenal finished first or second. And together with star players such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera and Dennis Bergkam, Wenger took Arsenal to another "double" in 2002.
The Gunners reached the Champions' LEague final in 2006, becoming the first London team to do so, but lost to Bacelona with one goal first scored. Thier EPL title in 2003/04 saw them become only the second team to win the league without losing a match - earning them the title "The Invincibles." Overall they went 49 matches unbeaten, which is a national record.
