🔴⚪ 89 points was not enough that season.
91 goals was not enough as well.
It was a good season. A brilliant season, even. But certain games derailed everything:
Fulham at The Emirates.
Spurs at The Emirates.
West Ham at The Emirates.
Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Villa at The Emirates.
We didn't manage those games. And we paid the price.
Then came the following season — one that should have been even better. But we couldn't catch a break.
Red cards that shouldn't have been red cards.
Officiating decisions so biased they made your head spin.
And just when we were finding our feet through all of that — injuries.
Wave after wave. The season collapsed.
Yet even in the middle of all of it, we kept fighting. We used a defensive midfielder as a striker for half the season and were still grinding out results. We called on academy players and they turned up.
This season — this beautiful, title-winning season — wouldn't exist without those early sacrifices. Without those painful dropped points. Without those boys who gave everything even when everything was falling apart.
So when I see fans trying to water down those efforts, trying to act like none of that mattered — I just laugh. Because you are clearly blinded by bias. You want to enjoy the harvest but you don't want to remember the planting season.
As the saying goes — if you don't remember where the rain started, you will never know where it stops.
We remember. That's why this moment hits different.
COYG. Always. 🔴⚪
🚨📊| THE STAT THAT DEFINES ARSENAL'S TITLE-WINNING SEASON.🏆
Across 61 matches in all competitions, Arsenal have been behind for just 403 minutes.
That's it.
To put that into perspective, the Gunners have played 5,490 minutes of football this season and spent only 7.3% of that time trailing.
Even more astonishing?
▫️ Arsenal have trailed by 2+ goals for just 26 minutes ALL SEASON.
Those 26 minutes came in the Carabao Cup Final.
Not in the Premier League.
Not in the Champions League.
Not across a gruelling 61-game campaign.
Just 26 minutes.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have spent only 8.6% of match time behind on the scoreboard, the second-best record in the division.
This is what elite control looks like.
While other teams rely on comebacks, chaos and moments of magic, Arsenal's dominance starts much earlier:
🔸 Rarely fall behind
🔸 Rarely lose control of games
🔸 Relentless defensive structure
🔸Elite game management
🔸 Consistent for 90 minutes
The biggest compliment you can give Mikel Arteta's Arsenal isn't that they win.
It's that they almost never allow opponents to dictate terms.
For years, critics said Arsenal lacked mentality.
Now they're one of the hardest teams in Europe to put behind, let alone beat.
This isn't luck.
This is coaching.
This is structure.
This is control.
This is a champion's mentality. 🏆
Back in December we were only 2 points ahead 😭
January came and Pep added two of the best players in the league to his squad, while Arteta made no signings. We dealt with a ridiculous injury crisis, competed in four competitions, and kept playing three games in seven days multiple times.
Pep’s side lost just one league game from December to May and we still came through it all. Gunners continue to celebrate this title with passion , drink it in, we worked too hard for this. Ignore the noise ❤️🏆
We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
