Arsenal's disappointing 2-2 draw at Wolves on Wednesday has similarities to what happened to the Gunners 18 years ago.
Back in 2008, Arsene Wenger's side were top of the Premier League after 26 games, with 63 points and a nice five-point lead over Manchester United in second.
Similar to this season, their 27th game involved a trip to the West Midlands to face a side battling relegation in Alex McLeish's Birmingham City.
After an awful injury to Arsenal striker Eduardo and a goal from 10-man Birmingham's James McFadden, an 18-year-old Theo Walcott scored his first-ever goals in the Premier League to leave the leaders 2-1 up heading into injury-time.
But a foul by Gael Clichy saw the Gunners concede a penalty and allowed McFadden to score a 95th-minute equaliser – just a minute later than the one Tom Edozie scored for Wolves last night.
After drawing a game they had dominated, Arsenal defender William Gallas famously sat down on the pitch in what Match of the Day commentator Jonathan Pearce described as "a state of disbelief".
And while Gabriel Jesus shoving Yerson Mosquera wasn't anywhere near as dramatic, it shows that many Arsenal players were similarly stunned and frustrated after the final whistle in that game.
That 2-2 draw on 23 February 2008 saw their lead at the top cut to just three points after Manchester United won 5-1 at Newcastle, while last night's result gives Manchester City the chance to close the gap to just two points if they win their game in hand.
This current Arsenal side will hope the similarities end there. The Gunners went on to win just one of their next seven Premier League games 18 years ago.
Such a poor run of results caused them to drop to third place, nine points behind new leaders Man Utd.
Despite winning their final four games, Arsenal finished the season in third place with 83 points, four behind champions Man Utd and two behind runners-up Chelsea.
Looking at their remaining games this season, Arsenal's players have an immediate opportunity to show things will be different this time around with the North London derby this weekend, followed by a home game against Chelsea.
After that, their only game against the current top six is one that will likely be even more pivotal in the title race due to the draw last night – a trip to the Etihad to face Man City on 18 April.
With just two wins in their last seven games and echoes of that infamous result against Birmingham in their draw last night, Arsenal are in danger of telling the same old story when it comes to the title.
But with the future still unwritten, this current crop of Arsenal players still have the chance to put the ghosts of 2008 to rest by becoming Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years.
