🚨 Arsenal are Premier League CHAMPIONS!
Mikel Arteta's process is COMPLETE! 🏆
Below, I revisit the ENTIRE process. From December 2019 to May 2026.
From the “Arteta Out” movement to worldwide criticism over many years, we have proved the doubters WRONG!! 💪
MEGA-THREAD! 🚨❤️
Arteta has reinforced that the style of play prevalent in the Premier League this season isn’t going anywhere, and I agree with him.
He noted that because most teams now play man-to-man, so it is incredibly difficult to create open-play chances. As a result, teams must rely on marginal gains like long throws, corners, and elite game management to find an edge.
When asked if he felt responsible for making the game "less interesting, he replied:
“That’s why there are rules. If you don’t want long throws; very simple; give four seconds for the long throws. C'est fini. But the biggest issue is the man-to-man, believe me. If all managers agreed that you cannot defend man-to-man, tomorrow you’re going to have a different league; I guarantee you.
Arteta also used the Newcastle vs Barcelona match as an example. He said Barcelona play the best football in the world in his opinion. But Newcastle admirably forced them into a grind due to their high intensity, man-to-man approach.
The league is only going to get more physical. That is the reality.
You can choose where to get your football education: from an active coach managing an elite team, or from someone chasing clicks on Sky Sports.
Up to you.
🚨 Arne Slot: “I am the same manager as last season! It’s so hard to create tempo in a game if the other team doesn’t want to have tempo.
“It’s so hard to create so many chances in the current Premier League where everybody is so physical and has a certain playing style”.

Arsenal are bottlers” is one of the laziest narratives in modern football ,and it doesn’t survive contact with reality.
2022/23: Youngest team in the title race. No one expected a challenge. They finished on 84 points and accelerated the project by years. That’s overachievement, not bottling.
2023/24: Took arguably the best club side on the planet to the final day. Won 16 of their last 18 league games. Finished on 89 points. That’s title-winning form in most seasons. Losing narrowly to a machine isn’t collapse, it’s elite competition.
2024/25: Decimated by injuries across key positions. Defensive rotations disrupted, midfield balance constantly shifting. Still competitive. That’s resilience.
2025/26: Seven points clear. Composed. Structured. Mature. Strong defensively. Managing games better than ever.
This isn’t a team that crumbles. It’s a team that has grown year on year, from promising to contenders to dominant.
The only reason the “bottling” tag exists is because Arsenal dared to compete earlier than expected, and people froze that moment in time.
Progression isn’t bottling. Pushing greatness to the brink isn’t bottling. Building sustainably at the top level isn’t bottling.
It’s called evolution.
And when the trophy comes, the narrative disappears overnight.
"Arteta’s side are known as the set-piece kings, but there is more to Mikel Arteta’s side than dead-ball brilliance. They have scored more goals from open play since Christmas than any other team." 👀
What we learned from Arsenal's narrow win over Brighton 👇

Arsenal averaged 31.4 seconds per restart vs Brighton.
#BHAFC average 26.5 seconds per restart this season but averaged 38.7 vs Man City (H), 33.7 vs Chelsea (A) & 33.2 vs Brentford (A).
Common dominator? They won all three matches.
Context is key. ⬇️

Arsenal were 4 minutes below the team with the least time wasting in the Premier League this season (Leeds) m, where the ball is already out of play for 34 minutes per game.
So this really isn’t the “gotcha” people think it is.
The desperation to attack Arsenal is starting to damage the quality of football discussion. Let’s do better.
You tell us mate. Your own club Liverpool have wasted 2 minutes 6 seconds MORE than Arsenal on average all season.
When will you stop ruining the beautiful game?
🗣️Michael Owen was not impressed with Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler’s criticism of #Arsenal after his side got beat by the Gunners last night: “Hürzeler might change his mind if he’s going for a title. Then and any old win will do. Listen, Arsenal have played well for the vast majority of the season and it’s the oldest saying in the football book, sometimes you’ve got to win playing ugly. Arsenal have done that as well this season and fair play to them. They find a way of winning.
“That’s starts in Arsenal’s case with having a very strong defence, a very good goalkeeper and a very organised defence, a solid midfield. They aren’t what Liverpool have been, aren’t what Manchester City have been over the last decade or so. Basically blitzing teams scoring loads of goals but also conceding a few as well so they’re not that style of play.
“They are well drilled and as soon as they score one you rarely see them not picking up the points. Of course they had a bit of a blip at Wolves not so long ago. Apart from that when they score you can just see them shutting out games. They hardly created anything last night but Brighton didn’t really look like scoring either. Brighton had a lot of pressure but Arsenal defended their box really well.”
