Isn't this what Arsenal Debate is for?
I'll leave this one here again because your ducking the points made and that's no way to debate.

What's the purpose? Are you battling perception on GW or looking for evidence of improvement in the team? Looking at what previous title winners have done is pretty pointless because they haven't gone 10 years or so without winning the league. That's what all this debate adds up to. Our inability to sustain a title challenge. Of course all teams drop points but we're a team that always seem to hit a glass ceiling. Since last winning the league, we've only finished the season with over 80 points twice (2004/05 and 2007/08). Nobody has won the league with less than 80 points since the late 98/99. That says it all really. We're just not improving.
The important comparison is the league table and how we perform. Comparing the times we've come back from a goal down or whatever else is pointless it means little in the grand scheme of of things. It goes back to what NQ said about viewing results in isolation and counting how many times we've come back from a goal or two down is pretty pointless.
