Arsenal has enjoyed several successful seasons since Mikel Arteta took over as manager, and they are on track to set a new record.
The Gunners have made significant progress since Arteta’s appointment at the end of 2019.
The former midfielder joined the club at a time when it lacked direction and appeared to be heading nowhere positive.
The 18 months under Unai Emery, which initially held much promise, ultimately fell short of expectations, leaving the team in need of a saviour.
Arteta stepped in as that saviour, and over the last four seasons, he has done an outstanding job.
By the end of this term, he will have completed five full seasons as Arsenal’s manager, with the team improving in every campaign.
The Gunners are now poised to become the first club in Premier League history to increase their points tally in each of five consecutive seasons.
According to The Sun, they have accumulated 56 points (2020), 61 points (2021), 69 points (2022), 84 points (2023), and 89 points (2024) over the last four seasons.
They could earn even more points this season, but it may still not be enough to secure the Premier League title.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is great to see that we are improving, but it is painful because we still haven’t won the league.

Well if we are to win the title, I am pretty sure we will need a 90+ points season. So either break the record and win the title, or don’t break the record and not win the title.
Well, the not so enviable record for Arsenal between 2019 and 2022 is that, for the first time in the Premier League era, they clocked less than 70 points for three consecutive seasons !!!!!
On a brighter note though, probably the most enviable record Arsenal.could achieve is that next season, they are gonna play their 100th consecutive season in the top Division (less the WW II years), if they don’t get relegated this season of course. It’s gonna take a mighty long time for the next club to hit that magic century. Everton will do it if they avoid the drop for another 28 seasons – in 2052.
Mikel, our savior. 🤣 Anyway, good job.
It’s an obvious improvement, albeit from a pretty awful base line, and Arteta and the staff should certainly get the credit for it.
As always in a competitive league though, it’s not the absolute points increase (a larger points total season on season) that ultimately matters. It’s the relative points increase compared to other clubs, or one other club probably – City. As the article says, Arsenal can go on increasing their points total (which is good in itself) but title success as always depends on whether any other club gets more. Hopefully, in 2024-25 no other club will.
It’s really amazing the amount of difference in praise, image, etc. etc. there would be had MC not been in the race or simply things went a little more our way or a little less theirs and instead of finishing 2nd twice in a row we had finished 1st. We would be hailed as one for the PL history books as opposed to forgotten 2nd place also runs.
Yes. As in comedy, timing for PL title challenges is everything (along with some luck).
All these records that Arsenal are creating, well done.
But the last time I looked, you don’t get any trophies for them do you.
And as for Arteta being Arsenal’s saviour, don’t make me laugh.
Yes he’s done well in recent seasons, but until he’s brought the club a few trophies, lets not get carried away.
And just a foot-note to the celebration of nearly 100 years unbroken in the league, Arsenal actually bought their way into the league all those years ago. (Still an impressive record all the same).
DEREK, do you have any proof that The Arsenal bought their way into Division One all those years ago ?
Does, several mean 2?
Herr Drier,
In answer to your question, I was given some misinformation sometime ago regarding Arsenal buying their way into the league.
But if you type in on google, Arsenal voted in ahead of Tottenham in 1919, it will give you the correct answer.
Apologies to everyone, that I gave unintentional misinformation, My bad.
My understanding that the reason they say that Arsenal bought their way in. As you say the vote went in their favour despite them finishing below Tottenham. The question being was perhaps the “voters” were rewarded for picking Arsenal ahead of Tottenham.
Sort of like voting for Qatar to hold the World Cup……

Admin Pat. Fine reply and source re the Arsenal/league history. Thanks.
What Andy Kelly doesn’t know about the history of The Arsenal isn’t worth knowing.
Thank you Admin Pat,
Your answer makes perfect sense.
And I suppose a brown envelope may have possibly (not definitely), been involved.
A bit harsh on Emery in this peice. Emery wasn’t backed in the way mikel has been. Remember that it was not just mikel that came in. Also changed several directors and even restructuring at board level.
I have keenly watched Emery at villa and am impressed. They trust Emery and don’t force players like Pepe on him.
