#Arsenal have sold Leandro Trossard for a fee close to what we paid, after the best years of his career with 36 goals and 34 assists in 174 games. He will go down in history as the player who scored our most important, title winning goal; a true cult hero.

Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:

🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.

The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.

That tells you everything.

Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.

For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.

Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.

Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.

Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.

The jealousy was obvious.

The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.

That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.

The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Arsenal becoming Champions of England:

Arsenal didn’t ‘get lucky’, they took the crown from Manchester City. There’s a difference. For four years everyone in England acted like the Premier League belonged to City permanently, like the rest of the league were just guests waiting for permission to compete. Arsenal changed that.”

“After that defeat at the Etihad, the media buried Arsenal. Pundits folded instantly. Fans were laughing, rivals were posting memes, and suddenly the title race was ‘over’. But champions don’t panic after one defeat. Weak teams do. This Arsenal side responded like real winners.”

“And let me say something that will upset people, this Manchester City side is not the City machine people pretend it is anymore. The fear factor is gone. Teams go to the Etihad now believing they can survive. A few years ago opponents were beaten in the tunnel before kickoff. Arsenal smelled that weakness before anyone else.”

“What impresses me most is the mentality. Arsenal have been mocked for YEARS. Banter club. Soft. Bottle jobs. ‘Trust the process’ jokes every single season. Yet now look at everybody. Silent. Because the same club people laughed at just dethroned the most dominant English side of the modern era.”

“And for the rival fans crying already, no, this is not a ‘one-off’. That’s the scary part. Arsenal are young, hungry, aggressive, and they play without fear. Liverpool fans won one league and called it a dynasty. Chelsea fans spent billions and still can’t build an identity. United fans live in nostalgia. Tottenham fans celebrate finishing above Arsenal like it’s a trophy parade. Meanwhile Arsenal are champions of England again.”

“People wanted Arsenal to fail so badly because they know what this club looks like when it rises. The atmosphere changes in football. The arrogance returns. The belief returns. And the rest of the league starts getting nervous.”

“So congratulations to Arsenal. They didn’t back into the title. They earned it. And the funniest thing? The tears from rival fans have only just started.”

🚨🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Arsenal winning the Premier League after 22 years: an emotional speech 🎤

“This team… this team… honestly, I’m actually feeling emotional for them right now. For years people called them soft, fragile, bottlers… every season it was ‘stay humble’, ‘show some mentality’, ‘build some muscle’, ‘they’re not built for the big moments’. 😭

Well… where’s Mr. Mentality now? Where’s the man telling everyone to stay humble now? Where’s the man mocking them with a bottle. I can’t see them 👀

Because Arsenal have gone and done it. After 22 years. And they didn’t do it in an easy season either, they did it in one of the toughest Premier League campaigns I can remember. The pressure, the intensity, the competition… and they still came out on top.

If right now, you are still doubting this team then you’ve been left behind, and it’s only a matter of time you will stop doubting them.

You have to give credit where it’s due. Mikel Arteta deserves enormous praise because he rebuilt this club step by step and got people believing again.

I can already see Arsenal fans becoming the loudest people on earth for the next 20 years… and honestly? Fair enough. They’ve suffered enough. Congratulations to Arsenal Football Club.” 🏆❤️

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

We did it, together.

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

Cry Harder!!!! 😂😂😂

[B. @InvertTheWing]

Just absolutely comical. I don’t think a single soul respects this run.

Atletico-Sporting-Leverkusen run. Needed to get away with 2 blatant penalty decisions to beat the only competent opponent they got.

Easiest Champions League run in recent memory.

[Bayer 04 Leverkusen @bayer04_en]

Two hard-fought games 🤝

Well played, @Arsenal, and best of luck for the rest of your season.

[Gaurav Nandan Tripathi @Cric_Beyond_Ent]

Now this is a crazy stat:

Jasprit Bumrah has conceded just 10 sixes in the 25 T20 World Cup games he has played so far!!!

2016 - 2
2021 - 2
2022 - 2
2024 - 4

His overall record reads 49 wickets in 25 games at an avg of 14.8, economy of 5.75!! and SR of just 15.4 😭

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

9 wins in 29.. now i understand this statement 😂😂😂

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

Hurzeler: "I will never be the type of manager who tries to win that way."

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

Chit chat chitty chattt..

[James Olley @JamesOlley]

Hurzeler is scathing about Arsenal’s approach: “I will never be that kind of manager who tries to win in that way.”

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

138 corners have been scored so far in the premier league this season but it’s the 16 scored by Arsenal that’s ruining the league.

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

Hope we score through corners in all the remaining games and see them burn!!!!

[The People’s Champion 🇯🇲🇵🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @troopzafc]

Haven’t scored one in a minute and man are crying now 🤣🧂

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

Well said. We were asked to man up when we complained abt physicality and now when we are actually physical the narrative changes to killing football..

[Terry Flewers @terryflewers]

Arsenal must be the only club in football that’s been criticised for 15 years for not being able to win ugly or deliver when it matters, and then when they actually do grind out results in a title race, they get attacked for that too. It’s a no-win narrative, and that kind of inconsistency is what’s killing the game.

[TheOptimistcGunner @krish_aug27]

Same feeling 😂😂

[Vada London Arsenal Tamil Podcast @vadalondon]

Same feeling 😭

Dei @Arsenal corner goal enga da? 😡
