Same old Arsenal?

Same old Arsenal. That was the phrase on everyone's lips after the Blackburn game, but even though Arsenal have been known to give away leads, this is becoming ridiculous. I feel 'same old Arsenal' is the wrong phrase to use as I would prefer the Arsenal of last season well over the present one. Certainly at the moment, Arsenal are playing their worst football in their prestigious 125 year history. Conceding 14 goals in the opening 5 games is no joke and at the moment they are sitting at 16th on the table. But the problem is not with the quality of players but the spirit of the team. Eventhough Wenger switched from buying embros to fully developed players, what is actually needed at the moment is that enthusiasm and spirit on the pitch which is lacking. But inspite of this humiliating defeat, one thing that angers me more is that Wenger is saying that Arsenal are at the start of a new cycle. The reason why this angers me is that this was the exact same statement he made in 2006 and in 2010 he said that the cycle was complete and Arsenal were ready to challenge for honours. That cycle produced zero results and the fact that he is saying that Arsenal are starting a new cycle means that it may be awhile before the gunners lift that elusive trophy.
At the moment the only thing that Gooners can do is hope and pray that Arsenal's fortunes will turn but if things remain as they are, Arsenal is in for a rough season.
