Arsenal have been in clumsy Premier League title battles before and failed to get past the finish line. There are so many titles that 'got away', some of them more recent than others.

Despite that, Arsenal have been, for the most part, a top Premier League club in this century. There are not that many clubs that have been more successful than the Gunners, and now, it seems like the success will continue to arrive for these young players.

They are at a point where they can genuinely start a dynasty, not just because they are the best team in England and the reigning Premier League champions, but also because they stand strong where others lack - the lack of stability for rival clubs, transition periods for new managers and departures of cornerstone superstars will lead to some slumps, and Arsenal will be there to take as much as they can in that regard.

Arsenal have the mentality and the squad depth to start a dynasty

However, it wasn't always like this. Arsenal, despite having talented teams in the past, failed to do this in different eras. It had little to do with the teams other clubs had, and more to do with the mentality of some of the club. Everyone collectively struggled at key moments of the season, and that alone has cost them a bunch of Premier League titles in this century.

Most of them have been in the last few years, when Manchester City kept collecting these titles like infinity stones - the only club that were able to consistently challenge them for these titles were Arsenal, and there were many points where a lack of title-winning pedigree and the experience in critical moments cost the club.

Now, they have gone past that point. Finally. Arsenal, despite struggling in some games last season, have finally achieved something that had eluded them all this time, which is why next season, they will have more experience of dealing with such situations, and also the calmness and composure of a title-winning team.

It is also worth noting that they also have some other issues completely sorted. For one, their depth chart looks brilliant. This is a thing that has cost them so many points over the last few years. Their star players would face some sort of injury, and the replacement wouldn't nearly be good enough - either that, or they'd play out of position, which is just as bad, sometimes.

Now, Arsenal have a great team, and the core of that group have stuck around through the highs and the lows for a number of years. The chemistry that this group has is at an all-time high, and that matters much, much more than people think.

It is a brilliant time to be an Arsenal fan at the moment, and this will only get better as the years go by.
