Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn fears his old club's season could be over after the opening MONTH!
He fears the club may have to kiss goodbye to their title hopes if they make a bad start - while crashing out of Europe would be unthinkable.
Winterburn, who spent 13 successful years with the Gunners, told the Daily Star: "Arsenal have a difficult start.
"If they don't pick up points in those three games people will start saying it's impossible for them to get back in it.
"That might seem like a ridiculous thing to say after only three games but that's the way it is. The pressure will be on them."
