I can admit I'm wrong, I'm not so up myself that I'm incapable of it but the general point I made stands. If that's all Arsenal won in that time then yes, a crisis.

Seriously why are you finding this so difficult to understand? I assume you're not being deliberately awkward?
Yes the modern era seeing as this part of the discussion is about Arsenal's failure to win anything in the 8 years since the FA Cup in 2005.
If you don't want to call that the modern era then fine call it what you will but I'd rather you concentrate on the point at hand rather than silly games with words.
For a team like West Ham to reach the CL final during those 8 years then yes I'm sure that would be considered an almost cosmic achievement but Arsenal at that point were on the back of being a much bigger and successful team. They went from being 'invincible' to almost a comedy team. If you can't see that then frankly you don't know football.
