In Numerology, 44 is often viewed as a master number, amplifying the energy of 4: stability, foundations, hard work and discipline.
It symbolises building solid foundations for long term success, divine guidance and protection, and the rewards that come from resilience, self discipline and turning goals into reality.
To finally emerge victorious in the hunt for a Premier League title after consistently finishing second and enduring years of ridicule from rival fans, Arsenal had to embody those very qualities.
They built solid foundations, trusted the process, remained disciplined, and proved that consistency eventually pays off.
But why 44 after talking about 43 yesterday? Many may ask.
Because, ladies and gentlemen...
It's been 44 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title.
@TomCantonMedia@Football_LDN Midfielders of 27-28 are approaching prime, so while mid/long term there should be a focus. For now, no. Win the lot, then plan longer term.
Rockefeller's 38 Letters is a popular book/collection, The 38 Letters from J.D. Rockefeller to His Son, compiling wisdom on business, life, integrity, resilience, and legacy.
More often than not, it's cited for its practical lessons on success, mindset, and fatherly advice.
But why talk about Rockefeller and the 38 letters today?
Because, ladies and gentlemen, book readers and sports lovers, just like Rockefeller had his 38 Letters, Arsenal now have their 38 Days since we won the Premier League title.
A goal conceded in the 37th minute.
Of all the goals Arsenal conceded last season, this one stung the most. Not because it sealed the defeat, but because of who it came against.
It was Matchweek 23. Arsenal welcomed Manchester United to the Emirates. We took the lead through a Lisandro Martínez own goal, only for Bryan Mbeumo to capitalize on a misplaced back pass from Martin Zubimendi, round David Raya, and equalize in the 37th minute. The afternoon would end in a painful 3-2 defeat.
Now one may ask: why revisit such a painful moment? Why dust off the archives of defeat? Why count the seconds of a game that ended in sorrow?
Because, ladies and gentlemen.
Today marks 37 days since Arsenal last won the Premier League title.
The year is 2019.
An 18-year-old boy, previously rejected by Manchester United after 4 unsuccessful trials, joins Arsenal Football Club from Ituano FC for a reported £6 million fee.
He’s given the No. 35 shirt.
Few knew his name. Fewer believed what he would become.
🎶 “His name is Gabi, He’s from São Paulo, And he plays for Arsenal, La la la la la la la!” 🎶
We sang whenever Gabriel Martinelli hit the back of the net.
From relentless pressing to that crucial goal against Manchester City in the title race, he quickly became one of the key sparks in Arsenal’s revival, playing with fearlessness and energy every time he stepped on the pitch.
A boy arrived wearing 35. A star emerged wearing 11 to lift the Premier league title.
But why the shirt number 35 for an unknown 18 year old?
Because ladies and gentlemen, it’s been exactly 35 days since Arsenal won the Premier League title.
In January 2023, Arsenal missed out on £86M Mudryk and signed Trossard for £26m instead.
One became embroiled in a doping scandal. The other helped deliver Arsenal's league title.
Why mention the £26m fee today?
Because it's been exactly 26 days since Arsenal won the league.
Today is a very important day in the history of important days as it not only marks the 3rd day of the World Cup but also the 21st day since Arsenal won the premier league title but you knew that already.
It’s the 2nd day of the World Cup. If you add a 0 behind the number 2, you’ll get 20 and that’s exactly the number of days since Arsenal won the league title.
