The day after the night before ! Still feels so surreal!! Who is going to the parade on the 31st? I will be there 100%
 
There are no ifs or buts now with Arteta.
He decided how to do this, took all the criticism and still did it his way.
His team, his squad.
Title winner.
This is the culmination of the process - and now the process turns into a stage of trying to stay at the top of English football.
What he has done is pretty incredible. Taken a hopeless team full of wasters, developed an entirely new squad all within PSR rules and and won the league against teams financially doping.
Might be the greatest turn around of a team in PL history.

One player who I'm super happy for is William Saliba.

He's only 25 years old, but he's already had to endure so much hardship having lost both his parents as a teenager. He was forced to grow up to become a man younger than he should have, and, although he's performed at an elite level on the pitch for the last few years, there were no trophies to show for it. Now, he can hold his head high as a Premier League champion - and I couldn't be more made up for him. He deserves this more than anyone. His parents would both be immensely proud of what a fantastic person and player he is.

Definitely a troll account and not a real Arsenal fan. You don't like Arteta, you don't enjoy watching us, you don't like our song.
Nope - HH is not a troll.
I have known him for years
He's passionate about what he believes in - that is it.
I agree with him on a lot of issues, but not on Arteta thats for sure.

Meh. When you don't like the manager, don't like the way your team plays AND don't the main song that is now pretty much the fabric of the club then I'm not sure what the point of supporting that team is. You're just kicking yourself in the face. And if you're going to be like that, don't bleat to everyone else about it

It would be like me force-feeding myself dogshit and then angrily complaining to everyone how disgusting dogshit tastes and how I've eaten dogshit all my life so don't tell me not to eat dogshit. Just don't eat bother eating it, or if you insist on it, stop whinging to us about it.
 
They bottled it...

EXACTLY.
You want to know what has REALLY happened to City.
The very day they signed Haaland they were in decline - precisely because of him.
Guardiola made a crucial error in changing a formula that had City playing football with threats all over the pitch.
He failed to win the CL so he thought he needed a striker like Haaland.
They would have won the CL anyway - and Haaland has been an absolute donkey in pretty much all the big games in the CL , even the one they won. He did NOTHING in the SF or Final that year.

But the decline starting was obvious. their play became too focused on him and it left them vulnerable to games he didn't score. Far more vulnerable than they used to be. Over a season that is crucial and has led to them not only dropping more points but also scoring less goals. It is an absolute case study in why you don't need a 20 goal striker to win the league.
You have to have threats all over the pitch.

Arteta learned that under Guardiola and did not change it when he got to Arsenal.
We broke scoring records two season on the trot with a top scorer on 14 goals.
This year - we are champions- our top scorer has 14 goals.

Football is a team game and sometimes people get carried away with individual players - especially forwards.
There are actually no players in the the world of football today that I could say are at the level where they alone are the difference between winning trophies or not.

Disagree. Mbappe definitely on his own decides trophies. Just in the completely opposite direction. If he joins you you're ****ed and winning nothing... but if and when he leaves, you've got a great chance of winning everything. :D

Nah LOOOOL, this Rodri guy is shameless <laugh><laugh><laugh> how is he still making excuses after how mediocre they've been for most of the season? Has he actually just said 'the Premier League didn't want to give us more rest'? He can't lose with class, can he? Mug.

I can't wait to see the full version of this - they're just like us <laugh>
 
I loved watching the player last night

They are just like us fans.

You love to see it

Laughed when I heard what Hincapie was saying at the referee at the end of the game when he wasn't blowing his whistle for FT.
That's exactly what I would say from my living room , except in English.
