The Invincibility of Arsenal
21Arsenal were rudderless. Their figurehead was gone, so too was any resemblance of a clear direction and the new coach was hardly making friends from the dugout.
In the background, however, David Dein had a scheme up his sleeve, one that he had cherished even before the days of Anfield ’89.
He knew a man who knew a thing or two about football and finally the time was right to unleash him on the Premier League. This time, it wasn't just Arsenal who were to become modernised, but the entire league. This is the story of Arsene Wenger's heyday at Arsenal, of the double double and the invincibles.
