Nothing beats the absolute nonsense fans say when their club signs a player they didn't watch consistently

[The Arsenal Scout @thearsenalscout]

He bought Guehi and Semenyo and we leaned into Skelly and Dowman. Unbelievable.

Same for MLS. Give him a chance and you’ll be rewarded

EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is getting the documentary treatment.

“Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now” has been unveiled less than two weeks after Arsenal won its first Premier League title since 2004 and a week after the London club narrowly missed out on being crowned champions of Europe.

Realized United pundits and ex-pros just can't take Arsenal being the best team in England again.

The hate is embedded deeply into their hearts and it gives me incredible joy seeing them this deluded.

Threepeat.

@FkBanned 💯 it’s a necessity. For some reason I just felt it wasn’t our time yet. Like I felt in 22/23 with the league. We have to do it in the next 3 seasons for sure

[DTL-philosophy @DownTheLine92]

The next season for Arteta and the squad is about proving that they really are who they think they are in England. The PL has to be the biggest ambition, ahead of the CL, for that reason. Kill all the disrespect at home first

[DTL-philosophy @DownTheLine92]

I think the league is going to be very competitive but not for the reasons people think. You have to acknowledge that Arteta competed with Pep four times and finished above him twice. He also did the same to Klopp twice and frankly looked a level above him for those seasons.

The idea that Arsenal became a cultural phenomenon because it signed Black players is too simplistic.

Like much of London, Arsenal positioned itself as a club that extended belonging towards the margins. Not racial margins alone, but the margins of football's imagination.

Kanu arrived after heart surgery that could have ended his career. Bergkamp arrived carrying the weight of a disappointing spell at Inter. Henry arrived as a talented but unsettled player still searching for his place. Kolo Touré was potential before proof. Arteta arrived as a midfielder many thought was entering decline, only to be entrusted with the captaincy. Wenger himself was a foreign manager challenging the assumptions of English football.

The pattern was not diversity for its own sake. It was recognition before validation.

Arsenal repeatedly seemed willing to see people not simply as they were, but as they could become. It trusted before consensus arrived. It built a reputation for offering a second chance, a fresh start, or a path to fulfilment where others saw limitation, uncertainty, or decline.

That is why former players, injured players, and out-of-contract players so often found their way back to Arsenal. The club developed a reputation for treating people as more than their immediate utility.

Representation matters. But recognition creates loyalty.

People did not just see players who looked like them. They saw an institution that appeared willing to enlarge its definition of who belonged.

Absolute travesty if we failed to land it this season.

Arsenal's fan base have historically been the biggest meltdown merchants in the Premier League, no question.

An unlucky defeat, a well-fought draw... chaos.

But my word, the meltdown from outside Arsenal at their title win: Generational.

Simply lovely.

Easier to list the teams that shouldn’t go for Jackson on a cut price fee.

Don’t get caught up on the final action when you don’t have the capacity to even get there at volume.

Jackson does, for fun.

"Let’s not forget that Arsenal have won 45 games in all competitions this season. Only five sides in Premier League history have won more, and none have done so in the last five years."
