Why Arsenal have changed their official account name to ‘Arsena’ on Twitter

With all English football suspended until the end of April at the earliest, Arsenal decided to spend Friday evening celebrating their magnificent Invincibles season from 2003/04 because why not?



The Gunners remain the only team to go an entire Premier League campaign without losing a single game, a feat which Liverpool fell short of this season when they were beaten 3-0 by Watford at Vicarage Road.

Arsene Wenger ’s iconic side, which boasted the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira, is remembered as one of the greatest teams in English top flight history and Arsenal fans were given the chance to relive all the action from start to finish.


After all, there’s not going to be any actual live games for the foreseeable future and we all need our football fix in these uncertain times.

An official feature length documentary was streamed for supporters to enjoy on Arsenal’s website and Gooners will have noticed that the club’s account name on their official Twitter page had been altered to mark the occasion.






But why ‘Arsena’? Why drop the ‘L’? Well, it’s quite simple really. Seeing as the Gunners managed to go the whole season without suffering a defeat, the ‘L’ (loss) was removed for one night and one night only.

Many supporters put two and two together after giving it a little thought and Arsenal’s admin confirmed it for themselves with a cheeky reply to one fan on their feed.

Earlier this week, Emmanuel Petit controversially claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s current Liverpool side have ‘something special’ which the Invincibles were unable to offer.

‘I have huge respect for my old teammates, but when I look at Liverpool, and what they have been doing for the past two years,’ the ex-Arsenal midfielder told The Mirror.

‘People are looking at them now because last year they won a European trophy, but really they have been like this for the past two or three years. ‘It’s amazing what they are doing it is rare to see a team winning so many games and being so dominant against their opponents all the time.

‘They were both great teams in history, but for me this Liverpool team have something special.

‘It is hard to explain what I feel when I look at Liverpool, but I don’t remember thinking the same way when I was looking at the Invincibles.






‘They have impressed me more than Arsenal’s Invincibles.

‘I am pretty sure Arsenal fans won’t be happy with that. But I have to be honest. When I look at this team, the motivation, the intensity, so many talented players. Something is different with them.’
