Arsenal's captain's armband has faced accusations of being "cursed" in recent years such is the level of drama that seems to follow whichever player is burdened with it.
It should be an honour to be named the skipper of a club with the kind of prestige that Arsenal boasts, but instead, the last few players to be given the title have caused more harm than good.
That wasn't always the case though, in fact, the merry-go-round of skippers only started relatively recently as the club have plummeted to the desperate lows of eighth place in the last two seasons.
