Just saw a stat - Arsenal Women account for 41% of total WSL attendances
Incredible the job we’ve done for women’s game. Literally carrying it on our shoulders
Forget 'Set Piece FC', Arsenal have won the title without '115 charges' lurking in the margins like Man City, without buying their own women's team like Chelsea, without petro-dollars behind them. That should be celebrated, writes IAN HERBERT https://t.co/z0bdODbQb3
The day I knew football is cooked was when we piped City 5-1 last season, and the media and rival fans started dragging us instead of City. That shit still hilarious. 🤣
Social media suggests 90% of football fans believe Arsenal waste more time than other teams in the PL. Yet the facts go heavily against this. How have they come to hold this fake idea as incontestable truth?
If Arsenal win the league, watch the narratives:
• I’ll only praise Arteta if he retains it — this is a one-off
• Do the League + UCL, then we’ll talk greatness
• They’ve won it before, nothing historic
• Elite teams sustain it, not win it once
• Where are the other trophies?
•They didn’t reinvent anything, just repeated history
•Everyone else handed it to them
•£1bn spent… bare minimum
•Asterisk it — Liverpool had an off-year
•Others collapsed, Arsenal didn’t win it
•Boring, robotic football — standards have dropped
•Doesn’t erase the recent bottle jobs
•One-season wonders don’t build legacies
•My high standards are why they won
You can buy referees, you can fix matches, you can hide agent fees, you can breach all FFP rules but you can't buy either loyalty or respect because they are not given. THEY ARE EARNED
