    It might sound unfair, but I am going to say it anyway.... that side should have won more than the two titles in 02 and 04. Even at his peak Wenger's sides had weaknesses. Even with a side as good as that. Our defending dipped a level in the season after both of those title wins. Complacency......

    But we were devastating going forward that opposing team were almost frightened into submission. Team were more concerned about what we could do to them so they didn't attack our weaknesses.

    We don't play good football now and our weaknesses are easier to exploit. We also have more weaknesses.

    I'm not sure "complacency" is quite fair. We were a good side and won trophies but nobody, least of all us supporters, demanded or expected us to be title-winning machines the way Liverpool and then Manchester United were.

    We weren't greedy; we were happy and content with what we'd won, and this was true even under George Graham.
