Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged his players to get their ailing domestic campaign back on track by recapturing the spirit of their famous invincible side of the 2003-04 season.

On Wednesday, Arsenal played out a 0-0 draw with Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium and although they finally managed to end their point drought after three consecutive defeats, it wasn't a source of joy for the Gunners as they now find themselves at seventh position on the league table, behind the likes of Newcastle United and Liverpool.

Saturday 4th February 1pm

The Emirates Stadium

This Saturday afternoon we welcome Blackburn Rovers to The Emirates for yet another in the constant list of must win matches.

Rovers were established on 5th November 1875 and became founder members of The Football League in 1888.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Naturally, I'm describing Arsenal's 2011-2012 season. I'm a nice guy, and I don't want to hold Arsene wholly accountable for the team's woes, particularly due to the simple fact that, well, that's what everybody else already does.

This January's Arsenal transfer news was relatively quiet at the Emirates Stadium, with Thierry Henry returning to the club on loan from New York Red Bulls and German teenager Thomas Eisfeld arriving from Borussia Dortmund for a modest fee.

However, activity has not always been this sedate at Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger making some surprising and at times, blockbuster signings in January.

Arsene Wenger is on the brink of becoming the longest serving manager in Arsenal's 125 year history not to have won a trophy, we can reveal.

History shows that assuming we do not win anything this season which given our current form and the general malaise about the club seems unlikely (at this point I offer a disclaimer should we win both the FA Cup and the Champions League) - on Sunday July 5, 2012, we will have gone seven years and 76 days without winning a trophy.

Perhaps that should be, 2012 HAS to be different. More than some recent poor results, last night's 0-0 with Bolton felt like it signalled the death knell for our season.

I say this because for once we can't hide behind conceding fluke goals or wonder goals. I say this because despite keeping a clean sheet for the first time in what feels like eternity, we could not score at a ground where the likes of United and Chelsea scored five.

Here is your chance to win VIP tickets to see Arsenal face Blackburn in the Premier League at the Emirates on Saturday in a game that is vital to Arsene Wenger's outfit's season.

After the disappointing run of form, Wenger will be desperate to see off the Rovers challenge and grab three points so crucial in the Gunners' bid to capture a top four spot.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that lukewarm nature of the recently concluded winter transfer window is a clear sign that European clubs are now unable to match their previously sky-high spending levels.

The veteran Gunners boss compared the business conducted in January 2012 to the spending frenzy that took place same time last year, when more than £100 million were splashed by Chelsea and Liverpool on the purchase of just a handful of players.

Arsenal star Jack Wilshere looks almost certain to miss the rest of the season after scans showed his latest injury setback is worse than first feared. The Daily Mail is reporting that our boy wonder is now even doubtful for England's Euro 2012 campaign as he is unlikely to feature at all for us this season.
