(ARSENE WENGER)Arsenal are recognised as one of the giants of English football and a consistent challenger for top honours. Arsenal, under the leadership of enigmatic Frenchman Arsene Wenger , shook off their 'boring' image and began to serve up some of the most attractive football in the league. Thanks in the early days to the immense influence of Tony Adams and the astute signings of players such as Thierry Henry,(now departed for Barcelona) and Patrick Viera (now departed to Juventus and recently at Inter Milan). Arsenal climbed back to the top of the pile. Their rise culminated in a second Premier League and FA cup double in 2002, to add to their 1998 achievement. Three runners-up finishes in the interventing years displays how the north Lndon giants have lived up to their high standards over the last dacade. The famous old Arsenal defence has a new look these days, but the replacements , and the recruits to midfield and attack have done enough to assure fans that they can live up to the achievements of their predecessors. The Gunners added a third Premier League crown of Wenger's reign as their astonishing and unbeaten run throughout the entire 2003/04 league season saw them lift the title. The 2006/07 season saw the Gunners move away from Highbury(their home for the previous 93 years) to the plush new Emirates Stadium.
