At first glance, the question posed in the headline of this piece seems ridiculous.
It is four games into the Women's Super League (WSL) season, and Arsenal are unbeaten. They are second, one point behind leaders Chelsea, are reigning European champions and this week had four players named in the top seven of the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
Comments in the BBC Sport inbox from Arsenal fans - "So poor from Arsenal", "There you go Chelsea, all yours again" - could be read as supporter hysteria.
Yes, a late equaliser conceded against Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium represents two points dropped. But blowing the title race - really?
Scratch below the surface though, and there is substance to the apparent clickbait.
Chelsea are the major problem. Last season, Sonia Bompastor's side went unbeaten through their WSL campaign - a first in a 22-match season - and dropped just six points.
Arsenal, after four games, have dropped four points already - a drab stalemate at Manchester United last weekend followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Villa on Saturday.
In such a compact league, any points dropped could be hugely damaging.
"Even though we're not at our highest level today - and that's going to happen throughout the season - what we need to do better is to find those ways of winning," Arsenal manager Renee Slegers told Sky Sports. "That second goal would've been so important for us."
Last season, a 5-2 defeat at Villa for Arsenal effectively handed the title to Chelsea, the Blues sealing the league crown that same evening. A few months on, a similar pall fell across north London on Saturday lunchtime.
