Brace yourselves, non-Arsenal fans. They're coming for you.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Still, it could be worse, Spurs fans. You could be getting pushed towards relegation by Chelsea on the same night Arsenal became Premier League champions.

Oh.

[🚨The Celebration Police🚨 @PLCPolice]

Arsenal celebrating like they’ve won the league

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

So, after all this, you’re telling me that Man City are actually the bottlers?

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Listen, if Spurs don't get a result here, they can always console themselves with the fact their neighbours have just been crowned Premier League champions

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

We're 20 minutes away from Arsenal fans finally being happy. I'm not sure the world is gonna be able to deal with that.

Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately

115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years

Gary Neville could barely contain his delight about the possibility of that being a red card. Unlucky Gary.

Tom Hiddleston (actor & Arsenal fan): “Pressure is a privilege. If you’re feeling any pressure, you are breathing rare air that very few of us get to live inside. For the Arsenal squad, I hope that’s something they can take in!” 🧠❤️

🚨Guillem Balague has said it perfectly… absolutely spot on.

Two things bother me about the narrative building around Arsenal.

First, we're told constantly that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Fine. So what does it mean to be consistently fighting for the title in that environment? You can't celebrate the league's brutal competitiveness and then dismiss sustained title challenges as not good enough. Pick one.

Second, and in my opinion this matters more, failure in elite sport is not losing. Luis Enrique said it. Many others have said versions of it. Failure is not trying again. It's accepting the ceiling. It's going through the motions. Arteta has never done that. Every setback has been fuel for the next attempt.

The problem is social media runs on binary outcomes. Win or fail. Hero or fraud. No room for nuance. No room for the manager who rebuilt a club into genuine title contenders and is still hungry for more.

Simeone has been at Atlético for over a decade. Two league titles, two Champions League finals. Still no European Cup. Nobody serious calls that failure. They call it one of the great managerial tenures in modern football. And I'm convinced that given 14 years like Simeone, Mikel will win more leagues than him.

Arteta may or may not win the league this year. He may not lift the Champions League this year or next. But as long as he keeps pushing, keeps trying, keeps competing at this level, failure isn't what this is.

Find another name for it.

Spurs taking five points from Man City to help Arsenal win the title, before getting relegated themselves.

What a football club.

Chelsea Masterclass Gary Neville you absolute idiot @GNev2

Bahahahahahaha

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

Can’t believe Chelsea have now recorded THREE moral victories over Arsenal in one season.

Embarrassing for the Gunners.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

LITERALLY EVERYONE: I reckon Chelsea should try to actually do something here.

GARY NEVILLE: God Arsenal are terrible aren’t they?

We are leading, and Chelsea need a goal or they are out of the Cup🤷🏾‍♂️

These commentators are pissing me off man. They’re just glazing Chelsea non stop.

“Chelsea are more than happy to keep Arsenal at bay”

You do realise they’re 3-2 down and need to score?

[GoonerTalk @GoonerTaIk]

“They’re walking Arsenal towards a cliff edge, it’s very clever,” says Neville.

What cliff edge? What is clever? We’re winning the game and they’ve wasted half of their own time.

Today is 10 years to the day since Neville lost 7-0 to Barca and quit management. You can see why.
