No man. Look at how many matches you can afford to lose if you want to win the title. Not taking into account draws here but have a look:
2009: Manchester United lost only 5 matches
2008: Man U - 5
2007: Man U - 5
2006: Chelsea - 5
2005: Chelsea - 1
2004: Arsenal - 0
2003: Man U - 5
2002: Arsenal - 3
I think you see my point. It is next to impossible to recover from two losses in your first four matches and then go on to win the league. Five losses is the most any champion has lost in the years I've quoted. I don't see Arsenal even finishing in the top four, never mind challenging for top spot.
