The Gunners took a rather peculiar route to celebrate this phenomenal achievement. The EPL club removed the alphabet L in its entirety from their official Twitter page @Arsenal to commemorate the special occasion.
Their bio, which used to read ‘The official account of Arsenal Football Club’ now reads ‘The officia account of Arsena Footba Cub.’
The most unique title win in EPL history
In their 38 games during the 2003/04 season, Arsenal registered 26 wins, 12 draws and a grand total of zero losses on their way to the EPL title.
Wenger was criticized and laughed at when he claimed that Arsenal could go an entire season unbeaten.
Ahead of the beginning of the season, Wenger remarked,
After a superb start to the Premier League season, Wenger spoke of his belief that this dream could very much be brought to life, saying,
Apart from Arsenal going unbeaten in the EPL season, they also won several other awards for their surreal achievement. Thierry Henry scored 30 goals as a centre-forward in 37 Premier League games and won the Golden Boot for the season. The historic EPL club also kept the most clean sheets that season with 21, and scored the highest number of goals in the season with 73.
In what had to be two of the most obvious choices, Arsène Wenger was awarded the Premier League Manager of the Season while Thierry Henry was awarded the EPL Player of the Season in 2003/04.
To commemorate this unbelievable feat, Arsenal were presented with a golden Premier League trophy by the EPL, the first and only of its kind in the English top-flight. A version of this trophy was later presented to Wenger on his last ever managerial appearance for Arsenal on May 6, 2018. A fitting present for the genius behind what is an unprecedented achievement for an EPL club.
Arsenal continue to face a period of uncertainty, and former player Mikel Arteta is now at the helm of the Emirates to try and bring the Gunners back to the pinnacle of the Premier League.
