You can buy referees, you can fix matches, you can hide agent fees, you can breach all FFP rules but you can't buy either loyalty or respect because they are not given. THEY ARE EARNED
Arsenal won the same amount of games (45) as Chelsea (26) and Man Utd (19) TOGETHER this season.
Stop getting rattled by fan bases who spend their whole season watching Arsenal fight for every title while their teams where playing for nothing since November.
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
On a serious note, it was a brilliant gesture from Arsenal to have Emmanuel present the players with their medals. We take everything for granted but many people with disabilities feel excluded and cut off, so his smile when giving out those medals was priceless.

“Chelsea let me go like I was replaceable. Now I’m standing here wearing the badge of Arsenal with a Premier League medal around my neck while they’re still explaining ‘the project’. Football is beautiful sometimes.
People called me a squad player, said I’d never handle the pressure of a title race. But pressure at Arsenal is different — it creates monsters. Every training session feels like a final. That’s why we became champions.
I came here and immediately understood why this club is massive. The aura, the fans, the mentality… when the Emirates starts moving after a goal, opponents already know it’s over.
And honestly? Watching rival fans cry about Arsenal winning the league made it even sweeter. They spent years saying this club was finished. Now they have to watch us celebrate on top of English football again.
This team didn’t just win the Premier League — we took it personally. Every joke, every meme, every ‘next season FC’ comment… we remembered all of it. Now the same people are posting our trophy pictures.
That’s the difference between doubting Arsenal and stopping Arsenal.” — Noni Madueke
"For 22 years the old Arsenal artillery has laid silent and dormant, gathering dust, gathering doubt... but this season has lit the fuse
After 22 years of gloom, it's about to go BOOM!
The Arsenal cannon fires again, Arsenal roar like it's 2004"
