Arsenal the denominator again 👀🤯
Thierry Henry on why Arsenal divide opinion in football:
🗣️ “People keep asking why Arsenal get so much attention, so much criticism, so much reaction… it’s actually very simple.
Arsenal are not a club people can ignore.
When they win, it becomes a global conversation. When they lose, it becomes a global celebration. That doesn’t happen to small clubs.
That happens to clubs that matter.
And Arsenal matter.
That’s why every decision, every mistake, every defeat gets amplified beyond normal football discussion.
Look at what happens after a night like the Champions League final against PSG. It’s not just PSG fans celebrating you see rival fans, neutral fans, even people who don’t watch Arsenal regularly suddenly very interested.
That tells you everything.
Nobody spends that much energy reacting to a club they don’t care about.
And yes, part of the noise comes from the size of the fanbase. Arsenal supporters are everywhere, and when a fanbase is that big, opinions become louder, arguments become bigger, and rivalries become more personal online.
But let’s be honest… every top club in the world behaves the same way when they’re successful.
People say they don’t like Arsenal fans, but what they really don’t like is the visibility that comes with success and expectation.
Because Arsenal are back in conversations for the biggest trophies, every result now carries weight.
That’s not hatred. That’s relevance.
And the truth is simple clubs that nobody talks about don’t get loved or hated.
Arsenal get both.
And that alone tells you exactly where they are in football.”
What a day 😅….. the parade was exactly what I expected it to be, good vibes, good energy and nothing but jokes with my boys. Big up @Arsenal football club 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Can’t wait for next parade next summer 🏆 #Champions#AFC 🔴⚪️
LA CELEBRACIÓN MÁS GRANDE DE LA HISTORIA EN INGLATERRA 🤯🏴
La Policía Metropolitana de Londres confirma que más de 1,5M de personas han acudido a la rua del título de Premier League del Arsenal 🏆

Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
