The final reduction of the once-supreme Arsenal was effected on the 5th of May 2009.
The delusion and blindness of Arsene Wenger had long descended into senility and insanity, his once-admirable faith in the promise of youth turned into an unholy obsession which perhaps bordered on paedophilic obscenity.
The rot became an infection, the infection a cancer, until the whole team on the eve of the Champions League game at Ashburton Grove was little more than a tottering sham, a pathetic excuse for an aspiring title-holder, the merest of shadows of its former self.
Thus passes the once-Invincible Arsenal into darkness, that team of footballing titans and heroes, who could call upon the legendary names of THIERRY HENRY, PATRICK VIERA, ROBERT PIRES, DENNIS BERGKAMP, TONY ADAMS, SOL CAMPBELL, FREDRIK LJUNBERG, MARC OVERMARS, EMMANUEL PETIT, MARTIN KEOWN, NWANKWO KANU, SYLVAIN WILTORD and RAY PARLOUR to strike fear deep into the black hearts of the cursed Mancunians.
Yet the Invincibles live Immortal in history. Their degenerate successors shall be forgotten for eternity.
