It Would Be Empowering for Gooners if Arsenal Win Back-to-Back Premier League Titles

It’s empowering as a Gooner to think that Arsenal could be on the verge of winning back-to-back Premier League titles come the end of the season.

It’s early days, but even Arsenal-critical Sky Sports commentator and Manchester United legend Gary Neville thinks the league double could be achieved too. That says a lot. Not that anyone can predict the future, but the table, our position and the momentum are already heading in that direction.

To some extent, as they say, “nothing is impossible”, and in football we have seen that many times over. Sheffield Wednesday knocked Arsenal out of the League Cup 3-0 over ten years ago in the early stages of the tournament, while Nottingham Forest, then of the Championship, shockingly thrashed us 4-2 in the 2018 FA Cup third round.

I shall say no more!

On the more optimistic side, let’s not forget that the one and only Arsenal pulled off a miraculous 38-game unbeaten Premier League run in 2003/04.

So who’s to say the best team in North London can’t win two consecutive Premier League titles?

Arteta has the chance to make Arsenal history

Arsène Wenger might never have achieved that, and the only manager to win back-to-back titles in N5 was Herbert Chapman 90 years ago, before The Arsenal eventually completed their only hat-trick of league titles in 1935 under George Allison, who took over following the original footballing pioneer’s death a year beforehand.

However, Mikel Arteta still has time to override that slightly melancholy footballing fact.

When we think of Arsenal, we tend to think of the sunnier, successful moments, such as the 14 league titles and 14 FA Cups which our precious Gunners have claimed across their almost 140-year history.

If Arsenal could win a second title in two years come May next year, it would be impeccable and, to some extent, make up for the three near title misses during the early 2020s, which were heartbreaking to witness and traumatising in a football sense.

Could back-to-back titles create an Arsenal dynasty?

Arteta would then cement himself as an Arsenal legend by winning two titles on the trot and show that he had created an all-conquering dynasty in North London, rather than a solo-season one-off as some wrongly dub us, after we also reached the Champions League final despite defeat.

Like with everything, time will tell if Arsenal and Arteta can bring the Premier League title back to the Emirates for a second year on the bounce.

Well, COYG!!!

Do you think Arsenal can retain the Premier League title this season, and would back-to-back championships establish Arteta’s side as a genuine Arsenal dynasty? Let us know in the comments.
