Having read lots of posts and seen plenty of footage on here from yesterday then for me we should be aiming to finish 17th next season.
Itโs obviously a far bigger achievement than winning The Premier League and competing in those European competitions! ๐โฝ๏ธ
After almost seven years at this club, itโs hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didnโt know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didnโt just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.
PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS ๐
๐จ๐จ| BREAKING: Arsenal have become the ๐ ๐๐๐๐ side in Premier League ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ to neither concede a penalty or receive a red card in a single campaign. ๐คฏโ๏ธ

๐ฃ๏ธ Jens Lehmann to David Raya on the Champions League final: โDo us a favour & play 90 minutes, do NOT get sent off! If you win it, you are giving something back to the fans which we couldnโt. I didnโt deliver because I got sent off.โ โ๐ฅ
Iโve never spoken about this publicly, so bear with me.
But I want to articulate why this Premier League win for Arsenal isnโt โjust footballโ.
In July 2025, my son was born with a rare condition called CDH. Itโs a hernia that forms in the diaphragm, which means that the major organs develop in the chest cavity.
This puts extreme pressure on the development of the lungs.
We were told throughout the pregnancy that he had a 30-40% chance of survival.
We had to wait until my partner gave birth to see whether he would make it or not.
He had life saving surgery on day 5 of his life - and we endured a 2 month stay in a hospital in London.
At times we were told that he might not make it through the night - but by the grace of god, and throughout a rollercoaster of ups and downs he survived the intensive care process.
During that time was the start of the Premier League season - and the one escape that I had was Arsenal football club.
We had been at hospital for a month, and hadnโt left the hospital grounds. We were there 24/7.
I felt so guilty leaving him, but made the choice to find a local pub and watch Arsenalโs season opening game against Man United. And for that 90 minutes, I was able to escape the pain and sadness.
Watching Arsenal become the one thing that helped me escape, even for just 90 minutes over the course of those few months.
We needed a name for my boy. Something to signify strength, courage and being brave hearted. We chose Leo.
He was born on the 19th July.
Leandro (Leo - number 19) Trossardโs goal against West Ham. That historic goal. Will forever live in a lot of peopleโs memories forever. For me, it felt like destiny.
Leo is now thriving. And in his first season as an Arsenal fan, heโs been spoilt.
Football means so much to all of us. This football club means so much to us. Itโs more than just a game.
It shapes peopleโs lives, their character. Itโs hope, itโs escape, itโs proof that hard work pays off.
Whatever your reason is for loving this club and loving football - enjoy every single second of this joy.
This one is for you, son.

From the Highbury generations to the Emirates generation, a special thank you and huge congratulations to the squad and everyone involved. Itโs a fantastic achievement. One down. One to go!
