Leave banter aside, Arsenal winning the Premier League is good for public health.
It’s good for the culture. It’s good for the society. It’s good for academics.
There’s so much to take from it. So many opportunities will come from it. Arsenal are a cultural club with a universal reach.
If Arsenal win the Premier League, they should collate all the reactions from the world. It will be beautiful. It’s for generations.
The streets of the world are Arsenal’s home. From Legba, a carpenter in Sagamu, to the President of a country, there’s a great deal of people invested in this team’s success. They’ve been through the pain. They’ve felt the touch of ignominy. They’ve felt agony. They’ve patted themselves to sleep, and woke with renewed belief.
It’s interesting what a simple game can do to you.
It’s just football. But it’s also not just football. It’s a collective sense of belonging. It’s pride. It’s emotional investment. It’s opportunities. It’s resilience. A lot of transferable traits and qualities picked from a simple game.
The race is not over and I hope Arsenal enjoy the rest of it now. They’ve suffered. We’ve suffered. These three or five games to the end of the season?
Enjoy every bit of it.

Is this a serious question? I’ll assume it is. Let me explain.
You go to the GP a with a sore throat.
GP talks to you, examines you and feels it’s nothing serious.
GP sends you away but gives you weirdly strict safety-net advice for a sore throat.
