The past month has been a hell of an experience and I never thought football could do this to me. The roller coaster of emotions which I've experienced is exactly the reason why I watch football. Mikel Arteta is an exceptional human being indeed.

I'm glad that I have a different perspective on football now because this final proved that AFC is a beast of a team. Only one bad action in our defensive shift costed us the trophy today, just the one.

Good morning from your Premier League champions 👋

I remember reading something that goes like, when you were young, you told your parents everything and as you grow older, the roles are reversed. And now we carry their worries like they did once for us.
A quiet, creeping normality...

Watching pure technicians like Mac Allister and Gravenberch share a pitch with someone like Declan Rice really lays the difference between footballing ability and just running around convincingly.

@amuldotexe I was listening to this keenly because I had a similar conversation with a friend/mentor of mine who feels that one should strive for true independence - attained by focusing on doing whatever you enjoy and building skills in that, irrespective of which skills pay more.

@vishalvibes_ @monali_dambre I do the same too !!! Could you recommend a good place for hot chocolate?

I'm 31 years old, I've seen Arsenal play some of the best football in Europe. Wengerball was a beautiful sight, it was fluid, quick, attractive football and beautiful on the eyes. Yet, it was married to finishing 4th, with the odd 2nd or 3rd thrown in for a bit of flair. Big games over and over, being beaten by our rivals time after time. 5-1 at Anfield, 6-0 at Stamford Bridge, 8-2 at Old Trafford, home and away being thrashed by Man City. 

So tell me why I've now got every media outlet & jounralist looking for a clicks telling me I shouldn't be happy with what I'm seeing? 

"1-0 to The Arsenal" or "Boring boring Arsenal", this isn't a new part of the game, this is Arsenal's history. 

Social media are more than happy to talk about some of the best defences in the Premier League. Ferdinand/Vidic, Terry/Carvalho, Adams/Keown, Campbell, Van Dijk, Kompany. Or Chelsea only conceding 15 in a season, a remarkable feat. 

Liverpool being crown "set piece kings" a few years ago during the title run, Chelsea having a piece done by Jamie Carragher about how Champions use set pieces during a title run - By now it's an issue? An issue much less brought up Jamie Carragher himself. 

For years Arsenal were beaten by physical teams, lesser teams would play Arsenal with the pure intention of kicking us off the park. But now, we're too physical?

Arsenal go play defensive away to big teams, get accused of not going for a win or being "scared" - Yet no one talks about Haaland playing CB during Man City's trip to Arsenal this season?

Arsenal go all out attack and try to go toe to toe with teams we weren't simply as good as a few years ago & get beaten. Arteta is "out his depth" or Arsenal aren't good enough - Yet, when do you ever see a team go to Arsenal and attack us for a game? Man City tried and lost 5-1. PSG had Donarumma to thank for not leaving the 1st leg with a defeat. 

When it's Arsenal who are the ones being beat or being treated like the little boys of the league, the media are quick to paint Arteta as the bad guy or find a fake story about a possible squad fall out. But when it's Arsenal being the bullies, dominating the game and acting like a big club should, suddenly it's an issue? 

You can keep your days of beautiful football with Fabregas, Hleb, Nasri, Rosicky, Wilshere, Arshavin, Diaby etc. 
You can keep your horrid defence of Sokratis, Luiz, Chambers, Cedric, Lichtsteiner, Mustafi.

The squad as a whole right now is one of the best squads Arsenal Football Club have ever had. It is completely unfathomable to me that this squad do not win silverware - And when we do, I cannot wait for every single media outlet to have to post their graphics that 70% of our goals were set plays. I can't wait for them to have to make graphics of Mikel Arteta lifting the Premier League trophy.
