Robert Pires: Part of Arsenal's 'Invicibles'


The Frenchman was part of the Arsenal side which went unbeaten throughout the 2003-04 campaign en route to winning the league.

The current Gunners side lay sixth in the table on Sunday morning after their 2-2 draw against Hull the previous day, 11 points off the pace set by Chelsea, who remain on course to go unbeaten all season too, albeit with 30 games still to go.

When asked if Arsenal could win the Premier League title this season, Pires told Press Association Sport: "It's very difficult.

"The current squad lacks the physical power the Invincibles team had in players like Sol Campbell, (Patrick) Vieira, Gilberto Silva and Thierry Henry.

"But in football, everything is possible. They have (the points gap) with Chelsea, but we can still win the league."

Pires, who left Arsenal in 2006, is currently playing with FC Goa in the Indian Super League - his first game with the club ended in a 2-1 defeat.
