🔴⚪ OTD — One Year Ago.
Liverpool had just won the league. Their fans were celebrating at Anfield. And in the middle of all that joy, they found time to hold up a banner mocking Mikel Arteta in a bridesmaid dress.
"Always the Bridesmaid. Never the Bride."
Dear Arsenal fans, do you remember it?
Please never forget
Mehn. They couldn't even enjoy their own title without dragging us into it. That's how much Arsenal live rent-free in rival heads.
And our boys? They walked into that stadium, formed a guard of honour for the champions, and kept their heads down. No drama. No excuses. Just dignity.
Because when you're building something real, you don't need to respond. You let the work speak.
Fast forward 365 days.
Arsenal are sitting TOP of the Premier League. Two wins from the title. Liverpool are 20 points behind us — twenty — and Anfield is no longer making banners about Arteta. They're watching us from a distance, hoping we slip.
We are not slipping.
Read that again. Slowly. Let it sink in.
The same man they dressed in a bridesmaid gown is now the most feared manager in English football. The same squad that gave a guard of honour last season is now the one that will receive one.
That banner didn't break Arteta. It didn't break this team. If anything, it gave us receipts to cash in.
You know what the funny thing is? Liverpool fans thought they were mocking a man who couldn't win. What they were actually doing was documenting a moment — a before-and-after — that Arsenal fans will show their children one day.
"This is where we were. This is what they said. This is what we became."
It didn't break us. It made us strong.
Champions Elect. 👀
COYG. Always. 🔴⚪
