Since they last got their hands on the title in 2004, Arsenal have morphed from one of the most dominant and glamorous clubs the Premier League had to offer into one of its most widely ridiculed.
Over the next three years the north London outfit waved goodbye to their historic crop of Invincibles one by one; Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, Ashley Cole, Thierry Henry et al filtered out and, in turn, so did any realistic hopes of major silverware.
Aside from their appearance in the 2006 Champions League final, a game the majority of their outgoing Invincibles played in, and a handful of FA Cup wins, they have not come close to landing or competing for the big prizes Henry, Vieira and Co had become accustomed to.
