That's not true. It is correct for last season that Arsenal was stronger in the first half, but the season before Arsenal got 40 points after 19 games and then in the second half they got 49 points and yet it was not enough to beat Manchester City because they 16 wins and 3 draws and ended the second half of the season with 51 points. That is why the EPL is the strongest league in Europe and in the world. If Arsenal wants to win that title, they need to play a season with almost perfect score. In 23/24 it was Manchester City playing on that level, in 24/25 it was Liverpool in the first half with 46 points.

Arsenal still is not quite there. I think what sets Manchester City or Liverpool apart is that they have a few players that play in their own league. Liverpool has Salah, Manchester City has Haaland and I wouldn't know whom to mention from Arsenal who fits into the same category.

You don't have to agree with everyone's assumptions about Arsenal or any other team if you think they are not true, so stick to your own assumptions based on the facts. Arsenal are admittedly a good team in the Premier League, but I don't see them as a team that is fierce to win the title anymore. I don't see Arsenal winning the Premier League title for 22 seasons in a row, so I should take them seriously in the title race?

Since their last success in the 2003-2004 season, Arsenal have only managed to win some titles in two different competitions and that is the FA Cup and the English Super Cup (FA Community Shield). If Arsenal were really serious about winning the Premier League title, then they should have won at least 1 in 22 consecutive seasons, but they have never managed to.
