Declan Rice “They pointed and they laughed, they aint laughing now. I love this club and I love this manager. Its incredible the joy we can give people. Next year we are coming for so much more, so lock in or get locked out”

[Harsh @DammitArsenal]

Funny how rival fans spent all day telling us not to have a parade because of the Champions League final. Deep down, they just hate seeing a club this massive celebrating a league title. The tears are part of the occasion.

You really can’t understand what this Premier League title means to an Arsenal fan unless you’ve lived through the last two decades with them.

This is a fanbase that watched their club go from Invincibles to years of banter, financial restrictions, stadium debt, constant ridicule, losing big players, finishing outside the top four, and becoming the punchline of football conversations online. An entire generation of Arsenal fans grew up hearing stories about league titles instead of actually experiencing one themselves. Went from being utter joke, losing 8-2, 6-0 to Chelsea. Mourinho called their coach a Specialist in Failure.

Some Arsenal fans were children the last time this club won the league. Some are adults now with jobs, families and responsibilities, and this is their first real moment of seeing Arsenal crowned champions. That emotional gap matters. This is not just “another title” to them, it feels like closure after years of patience.

And the journey makes it even more emotional. This wasn’t bought instantly. Mikel Arteta inherited a broken squad, a disconnected atmosphere and a club many people thought had lost its elite standards permanently. Arsenal finished 8th twice. People laughed at the project, laughed at the process, laughed at the signings, laughed at the young players. Every setback became viral content.

But the club stayed committed. The fans stayed committed too.

They watched young players like Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Martin Ødegaard and others grow from prospects into leaders. They endured title races that ended in heartbreak. They watched rivals celebrate while being told Arsenal were “soft” or “not serious”.

So when this title finally arrives, it’s not just celebration, it’s release. Years of frustration leaving at once.

That’s why the emotions look different. Arsenal fans are not celebrating like a club that wins the league every other season. They’re celebrating like people who waited years to feel respected again. Like supporters who defended their club through every difficult era and are finally seeing belief rewarded.

And honestly, that’s what makes football beautiful sometimes. The long waits make the moments hit harder.

Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey calls Tunbridge Wells’ water issues a “public health emergency” and asks the PM to convene Cobra to get a grip of the “crisis”

Keir Starmer thanks him for raising the important and "shocking" issue

South East Water has let down thousands of customers in Tunbridge Wells.

The CEO must go and the Prime Minister must convene COBRA before it becomes a public health crisis.

Criticised for beating Man City 5-1
Criticised for Drawing 2-2 with 10 men
Criticised for winning 1-0 (A) at Old Trafford
Criticised for celebrating a goal
Criticised for celebrating winning
Criticised for defending well
Criticised for scoring set pieces

It’s an Arsenal thing.

Media and other fans literally wanking themselves silly today.

I’m pretty sure 99% of them wouldn’t have minded a CL semi and 2nd in the league. Is that good enough for The Arsenal? No, but the vast majority would jump at that.

But despite opposition fans going nuts - some from proper two bob clubs too - I’ve still seen my team win the league 5 times (once unbeaten), the FA Cup 10 times, a couple of league cups and a European trophy. And seeing the likes of Bergkamp and Henry in our shirt… that’ll do me just fine.

Roll on next season with some more signings, not having half the team missing with injury, and the FA not making up new rules to send our players off. Then let’s see how we go.

We are The Arsenal so fuck all the rest.

Pep Guardiola couldn't win the Champions league in 4 attempts with a Bayern Munich super team.

It took Pep Guardiola 7/9 attempts to win the Champions league with Manchester City.

Klopp has only one Champions league trophy in his entire managerial career.

Mourinho was hired by Real Madrid and given unlimited resources to deliver the Champions league and he failed.

It's only Mikel Arteta who's expected to win it with his first and second attempt.

I know where we were before this man and where we are at the moment. Call it a blind faith or whatever but I'm not giving up on him.

We fall short, rise up and go again until we make it Mikel. We go again next season Mikel.

Some Arsenal fans… this is the crisis you’re on about.

Morning All,

Seeing loads of negative stuff on here about our beloved football team from some of the fanbase, most of whom couldn’t run a bath never mind a competitive PL football team.

I even see a many calling out the manager for not being able to break down a dogged Everton low block yesterday, I see them calling out certain players again because they don’t think they’re performing how they expect them to perform and for not buying a Striker in the Summer even though you know we were definitely trying to buy a Striker, all the while having to be careful about FFP.

Our manager is one of the best in the world in my opinion, one that is also still learning on the job. What he’s done to transform us from that dead pool of players 3/4 seasons ago to now is like night and day. We are now a football team that can compete with anyone in the world, and we’re still building and will always continue to build. But nothing is guaranteed and we have no entitlement to win the biggest competitions but you can see we are really trying and edging closer.

The fans, the players and the whole club are all together for the first time in many years again now, so please don’t get sucked in to the nonsense from the click baiting operations like the likes of AFTV again, they get rich when we turn on each other, and on our bad results on pitch. That’s what they want. Just concentrate on what we’re doing and believe in the manager, the boys and the club. If we all do that I think we will grab some silverware on the way. Most of all, embrace it, enjoy the challenge, nothing is easy, if it was, you’d get bored of it anyway.

We are The Arsenal.
