Arsenal FC Forums

Arsenal Station will look back at the decade that has come and gone with a few features including a few decade review articles from me and our guest contributors and a piece with my own personal rankings of the players and moments or matches of the decade. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

And so another decade has passed in our club’s long and glorious history-perhaps, its most glorious decade yet. Herbert Chapman and George Allison’s dynasty won 5 league titles and one F.A. Cup in the 1930s. In the decade past, Arsenal have won 2 league titles and 3 F.A. Cups. Yet the dynamics of the game, as sport and business, and the league has changed so much, that I tend to think trophies are much harder to win nowadays. Either way, those of us who have followed the club throughout the decade know that we were lucky enough to witness something very special. It was a decade full of dozens of magical moments-the kind of moments that are the reason anyone watches football or follows a club. We experienced many unprecedented highs over the last ten years that, at the close of the decade, it is worth recalling a few, though space restricts me from mentioning everything worthy of recognition

‘The Noughties’ in bland form, the silverware totted up and placings confirmed. A decade of achievement by Arsenal Football Club, on and off the pitch. The success of the earlier years has become an millstone around the necks of the current squad, the stick with which they are beaten. As the squad produces some of the best football seen in the history of English club football, abuse is disguised as opinion with the level of support degenerating to booing our own players.

The word ‘support’ disappearing from the vocabulary, replaced by an ‘I know best‘ mentality that if followed would lead to the bankruptcy of the club, with no silverware to show for it. If the team is perceived to be in decline, the curve that some of those who purport to follow the club has morphed into a sheer drop.

Against this backdrop, a rebuilding process is coming to fruition. A title challenge is being mounted, ‘The Teens‘ will soon show if that is genuine or a false dawn, the end of January / start of February sees Arsenal entertain or visit three rivals in the current top six. Shades of the turn of the last decade with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United encountered in an 8 week period, one point gained, two goals scored and eleven conceded. High hopes exist that such results will not be repeated.
