After the retirement of captain Tony Adams, Wenger appointed Patrick Vieira as club captain. The 2003 campaign ended in disappointment as Arsenal saw the title grasp out of their hands after a late collapse.

The 2004 season saw Arsenal do little business in the transfer window given the financial demands that came with their new stadium project. The only signing made then was goalkeeper Jens Lehmann who replaced the England veteran David Seaman.

After being unbeaten away from home in the league in the title winning season of 2002, Wenger had made a bold claim that they could remain unbeaten throughout the course of a season.

Many who heard him talk that day would have discounted his talk as the English Premier League is one of the toughest leagues in the world. But the professor proved everyone wrong when his side took the league by storm in the 2003-04 campaign by winning 26, drawing 12 and losing 0 – a feat last achieved by Preston North End 115 years before, in the Football League.

During the club’s victory parade, Wenger remarked “My Prediction was a season too early!” This side came to be known as the “Invincibles” & their unbeaten run ended at 49 as they were beaten by Manchester United 2-0 on 24th October 2004. The accomplishment of going unbeaten in the Premier League is unlikely to be matched any time soon as the league has become more competitive than ever before.
