William Saliba: “There were a lot of jokes, people made fun of us. Even when we were top of the league, they were saying we were going to bottle it. If you want to change that, you just have to win. Now that we’ve won it, they can’t say anything anymore.” 🤫🏆 [@lequipe]
For 22 years, you mocked and ridiculed Arsenal fans. We took it on the chin without complaint. You even coined the term "hatewatch" and built entire narratives around Arsenal, yet we never cried about being hated.
Now that Arsenal are no longer your easy target, you've let banter turn into bitterness. The reality is simple: you can no longer bully us the way you used to, so you've switched to playing the victim and accusing Arsenal fans of not being able to take a joke.
The irony is incredible. We spent two decades absorbing the punches. Now that the tables have turned, suddenly banter is a problem.
I've got news for you: Arsenal are no longer the punching bags. You are. So if you're going to dish it out, you'd better be prepared to take it too because we’ll show no mercy. As a matter of fact, we’ll punch harder because that’s what CHAMPIONS do, attack without any remorse.
📲 Declan Rice on instagram: “An absolutely incredible couple of weeks celebrating bringing the Premier League back to North London after 22 years.
“As I said when I joined this great club, my dream is to win trophies here. This is the first of hopefully many more.
“We have a really special group of players and a manager that has absolutely transformed this team. It's a privilege to be part of it.
“Thank you to the fans for all the support not only this season but since | joined. You've welcomed me with open arms from Day One!
“Now, full focus on the World Cup and I look forward to seeing you all next season. Enjoy the Summer.”
Ben White yesterday was pure chaos 😭
• Spent half the celebrations shouting “Hincapieee, get your bum out!” into the mic
• Launched Ødegaard’s Meta glasses into the crowd 😭
• Caught a burger from a fan, ate it, then washed it down with a Ribena
• Grabbed the mic and basically ORDERED Rice to perform Rice Rice Baby
The trophies were great but Ben White was the real entertainment. Absolute vibes. 🤣
