An estimated one million Arsenal fans lined the streets of London for their parade today 😳🔴

Side effect of Arsenal winning the league. I've been an appalling father and husband since Tuesday. Wife could have already walked out the house with everything but I totally missed it because I was watching Eze laugh at the guy as the bottle for the 400th time

Louis Dunford — the man who wrote Arsenal’s club anthem, “The Angel” or “North London Forever” as you may choose to call it.

Dunford wrote the angel the song to honour his North London roots as he’s from Islington but that song resonated with Arsenal’s fanbase. It’s become an important part of today’s story.

In the buildup to the Leeds game in the 21/22 season, he was having a drink with his mates and he made a tweet about Arsenal playing the song at the Emirates. Arsenal fans saw that tweet and gave it wings.

“We were sat in the pub and my mate was going to me, “They’ve got to
play it at the Emirates,”’ Dunford told Charles Watts in an interview.

“So, as a genuine joke, I tagged Arsenal on Twitter and said “Play ‘The
Angel’. The people want it.” I was just thinking that my small following of
Twitter fans would think it was funny. And then, the next day, I woke up
and it had exploded overnight. I had over 1,000 retweets. I couldn’t
understand what had happened. Over the next couple of days I went from
having 2,000 followers to 10,000, then 15,000, then 30,000. I was like,
“Fucking hell, all this over a drunk joke!”’

The song came in at a time when Mikel Arteta was searching for things to help strengthen the connection between Arsenal fans and the club. The song was too good to miss.

Arteta played it to the players on the training ground. Dunford was invited to London Colney. He met the players and sat in the Director’s box in the Leeds game.

Dunford’s song wasn’t the first one tried as an anthem, but his song stood out, connected with the fanbase and told a story.

I wasn’t born in North London and there’s no time I listen to the whole song and don’t feel a genuine connection.

It’s the power of place, people, and genuine talent.

That was how Dunford became a permanent mention in Arsenal’s folklore.

A drunken tweet, a beautiful song, a fanbase that craved a higher purpose, and a club on its way back up.

Today, these streets are our own.

You deserve more Arsenal fans 💔

So proud of this man, hes a born leader and his attention to detail on and off the park is something that will set him apart. His work ethic is incredible. Congratulations Mikel and @Arsenal ❤⚽️💙

Those sky blue freaks let their games go to general sale and we're out on the streets at 4am chanting about Santi Cazorla

Congratulations to Max Dowman, who has become the youngest person to win the Premier League 🏆

Good morning from your Premier League champions 👋

ARSENAL ARE THE 2025/26 PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS! 🏆🔴

Another 200 must have crept in from somewhere - the stadium announcer confirms attendance at 1,639.

Just to let Arsenal fans know, Wizz air have released loads of affordable flights from Budapest to London on 31st May. I got ripped off with easyJet trying to buy flights straight after Tuesday but just thought I’d let you all know in case you had assumed like me that loads of new cheaper flights wouldn’t appear

With respect to my colleagues in the football writing industry, I am stunned that Bruno Fernandes has been named FWA Footballer of the Year instead of Declan Rice. Rice has literally won more matches this season (35) than Fernandes has even played (34).

#Arsenal got here by conceding last minute goals to Sunderland, Villa and Wolves, and showing a complete lack of bottle against Bournemouth. Today should never have been the title crunch game it was. We have watched City drop points and still let them back in. Unacceptable.
