22 Years of Waiting, 22 Years of Heartbreaks

Arsenal last won the Premier League title in the 2003/2004 Premier League season. Nobody knew it was going to take another 22 years to do it again

Along the line, there were pains, mockery, trolls, and dragging. Arsenal never stopped; they kept pushing and trying to get over the line. Their character/attitude was questioned. They were called names

For three successive seasons, Arsenal came close but ended up in second position. From 2022/2023 to 2024/2025, Arsenal finished second on the table behind Manchester City and Liverpool

Finally, Arsenal got over the line to become the winners of the 2025/2026 Premier League title

Yes, it’s 22 years of waiting, but do you know that Arsenal’s 22 years of waiting is the shortest in the Premier League top five teams

22 years of Premier League title drought is the shortest amongst the top five teams in England

Chelsea has the longest waiting period. Chelsea waited for 50 years to win their first Premier League title.

That was under Jose Mourinho in the 2004/2005 Premier League season. Chelsea won the Premier League title for the first time in 50 years

Manchester City experienced the second-longest Premier League title drought. Manchester City won the Premier League title after 44 years. This was in the 2012/2013 season

Roberto Mancini was the manager who won the league title for the Citizens. Liverpool was the third team to experience a long wait: 30 years to win their first Premier League title.

This was in 2020, when Jurgen Klopp led Liverpool to their first Premier League title during the COVID-19 pandemic

Manchester United won their first Premier League title in the 1992/1993 season. This was after 26. Alex Ferguson was appointed manager in 1986. He won his first Premier League title in the 1992/1993 Premier League season. This was 26 years of waiting

So Arsenal’s 22 years of waiting remain the shortest amongst the top four teams in the English Premier League.
