@Kaaiii29 Get some help! These delusions show that you are not all ok upstairs.. either that or you are just plain lying, quite pathetic if it’s the second one.
I’ve never spoken about this publicly, so bear with me.
But I want to articulate why this Premier League win for Arsenal isn’t ’just football’.
In July 2025, my son was born with a rare condition called CDH. It’s 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 hadn’t 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 Arsenal’s 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) Trossard’s goal against West Ham. That historic goal. Will forever live in a lot of people’s memories forever. For me, it felt like destiny.
Leo is now thriving. And in his first season as an Arsenal fan, he’s been spoilt.
Football means so much to all of us. This football club means so much to us. It’s more than just a game.
It shapes people’s lives, their character. It’s hope, it’s escape, it’s 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.

Tuesday night’s Tifo references Mikel’s comments to ‘jump on the boat’ for the rest of the season.
We won’t forget you MFers that decided to jump overboard when the seas got a bit rough
WE KEEP RECEIPTS
Vocês podem falar o que quiser, só não podem falar que esse time é artificial. É um time de verdade, que pertence a uma comunidade, que tem história sem asteriscos.
O Wenger no começo me quebrou. Pode não ter sido com a sua classe, mas foi com a sua garra, velhinho. 🥹
With this title, Arsenal join Liverpool as the only English clubs to have been top flight champions in eight different decades. Man United and Everton are next on the list with titles in seven different decades. That's what it looks like to have a history.
I couldn’t bring myself to write this until this morning. I didn’t want to do a story of the season. It’s bigger than that. It’s the story of how Mikel Arteta gave Arsenal back to the fans.
Read it later. Enjoy yourself tonight. https://t.co/OJgeDpvqQc
