Well how wrong was I?

Phenomenal performance from England.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

With Mexico being a co-host and the way England have played this tournament, I do not fancy England at all tonight.

Hopefully, Saka & Rice can inspire a victory.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Leo Trossard.

Pound for pound one of the best signings of Arteta's tenure.

Classy, ruthless, efficient and likeable. Has very much played his part at Arsenal and we wouldn't have the title without him.

Sad to see him move on but appreciate squad needs to keep evolving.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

I find this Bruno situation fascinating.

Verbal 55m offer rejected instantly with NUFC insisting player not for sale.

That means they would only sell for HUGE fee, which we don't seem willing to pay considering where we are starting at valuation.

So why still interested?

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Open against Coventry at home. That won't be easy as they will be making their long-awaited PL comeback.

Big games seem spaced out, apart from City A, LFC H.

Run-in doesn't look too bad.

End at home for potential title life at the Emirates?

Let's Go!

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Couldn't get Calafiori so had to settle for less.

🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO!

Verbal agreement in place between all parties, player too — he’s the left back wanted by Mourinho. Details to follow.

Cucurella leaves #CFC and joins Madrid after World Cup. ⚪️🇪🇸

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Did not even realise it was the start of the World Cup today.

Normally you can't avoid it.

It feels like there is just no hype for the World Cup in 2026.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

I once craved the approval of the media and everyone for Arsenal.

Now I understand they are only there to antagonise and rage bait, I no longer care.

Narratives are always against Arsenal and this is further proof.

Stop reading, stop caring. Celebrate the PL, fuck the agendas

Saturday’s broadcast was all Arsenal, all the time, thanks to fan presenter Laura Woods and a pundit roster loaded lopsidedly in favour of the north Londonders at the expense of PSG balance, writes Alan Tyers ⬇️

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

En route to the parade today to celebrate the players, the manager, the staff, the progress and the Premier League win.

After 22 years, we should savour every single second of this before talk inevitably switches to next season.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Special mention for MLS, who was on the outside of the team all season before starting the semi final and final of the UCL.

Big season for him next season and could force his way into the England squad.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

So much emotion from yesterday, hard to really put into words.

Feeling for Eze & Gabriel but 2 kicks of the ball do not undo all the effort and hard work they have put in all season and they played key roles in getting to the final and the PL win.

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

Congratulations PSG.

Everyone thought they were going to hammer us and we took them all the way to a shoot-out.

Gabriel was odd choice for 5th but he had the balls to take one and I have nothing but admiration for him.

Could have had a penalty too.

Love this team. COYG

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

No Palmer, Foden or Gibbs-White are huge calls.

I think it is fair to say Bellingham & Rogers have had better seasons but to not include any of that trio as squad depth is a shock.

Surprised to see Quansah over Maguire as well as inclusions for Henderson, Madueke & Toney.

[England @England]

It’s official. Your #ThreeLions players heading to the @FIFAWorldCup! 🏆

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

In fairness there are lotsof fans who have congratulated Arsenal but there are plenty who continue to criticise us and our celebrations as "undeserved" and "cringe".

Ironically it's because of that disrespect that these celebrations are so loud.

You created this, now enjoy it

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

The bottle narrative has been thrown around lazily for the last 4 years and probably beyond.

So the players are giving it back tenfold! And they have every right.

If you were willing to give it, and every man and his dog shared their view on Arsenal, you have you take it now.

Max Dowman becomes the youngest-ever player to win the Premier League 🏆

[𝗗𝗘𝗖 𝗥!𝗖𝗘 @DR41fanpage]

I told you all. It's done 🏆❤️

[Jay Bayford @ThatGooner_Jay]

The celebrations will be bigger than the disrespect we've received throughout the last 22 years.

[Lukas-Podolski.com @Podolski10]

Congrats @Arsenal 🏆👏🏻💪🏻 #champions #coyg
