‘We’ve got our Arsenal back’ – Gunners legend Keown on why Arteta’s side are ready to end title drought
‘We’ve got our Arsenal back’ – Gunners legend Keown on why Arteta’s side are ready to end title drought By the time Martin Keown walked away from Arsenal as a player in 2004, he had helped define one of the greatest periods in the club’s history. Three Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup were won, with the crowning glory arriving in 2004 when Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles stormed to an unbeaten league campaign. More than two decades on, Keown believes Mikel Arteta’s side are finally ready to bring the glory days back.
“We’ve got our Arsenal back again,” the former defender told Hayters . “In the last two or three seasons, I do feel that. Arsenal are back in the fight.

And while some supporters have wavered during another tense run-in, Keown insists he has never lost faith in the current squad. “Without doubt, I’ve seen that Arsenal are back in the fight,” he said.
“They’ve weathered the storm. Man City came back and there’s a glimmer now for Arsenal to go and finish the job. “It does feel in the media that the narrative changes a little bit around Arsenal.
Suddenly it’s theirs to lose again, whereas before it was always Man City’s to lose. Maybe that’s just coming with the history of not winning it for 22 years and the weight that puts on the shoulders of these players.
