I’m not a big fan of Arteta and his football. But I wasn’t a fan of Pep and his football either and all the titles him and City won do get counted, still. So, if we win something – and there is a very good chance now that we will – I will celebrate it as if Mikel is a phenomenon that only happens once in a century.
It’s been 22 years since we last won the Premier League title. As for the Champions League, we have never won it, having played our only final in 2006 losing to Barcelona 2-1 after going down to 10 men in the 18th minute. I was too young to even remember it, and more into cricket that time.
We are 3 games away from the league title – West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Palace (A). All 3 games are winnable. David Moyes did Arteta a favor after Everton limited Man City to a draw and gave us the upper hand. It’s in our hand, we go on and win our games and what City do of theirs won’t even matter.
The harder one of the two trophies is the Champions League. PSG under Enrique has been brilliant and is playing some of the best football right now. They beat Bayern in the semis and I would say they will be the favorites in Budapest. But, hey, it’s a 90 min game and whoever is ready to kill and die on the pitch that day will walk away with the trophy. Whoever wants it more, will decide the outcome.
–
We are in a wonderful place. We can surely win the league title and we can surely go out and choke PSG in the finals. However, this also means that a couple of bad performances will leave us with no trophy, and the only improvement will be of playing finals instead of semis compared to last season.
If you would have told Mikel and the players that they can win the title by beating West Ham, Palace and Burnley and Champions League by beating PSG at a neutral venue, at the beginning of the season, they would have bite your hand.
Hopefully they would be dreaming of it. The manager, the players because we fans surely are.
–
West Ham today, they have their own relegation battle so anything can happen. I hope we don’t mess it up but it’s not the time anymore to do speculations, guess what can happen, who will start and what kind of football we play. The only thing that matters is, 11 players on the pitch and a win.
We can do it. We have come close three seasons earlier and we can do it the 4th time. I am keeping my hopes high.

Rather a long way of showing how hard you tried not giving a fuck but failed Squeaky Vera.
When are you going to enjoy this league win even if it means you were wrong about Tets? Get over it, you’ll be less tense. It’s not my fault you’ve spent the last four years holding daft opinions. On everything.
Have fun. Like these guys.

Squeaky Vera, you should lighten up. You’re letting me upset you. All I’m doing spreading joy because it’s clearly been a while since you had some.
Be like these guys. Happy

Squeaky, you’ve stopped posting about football.
What’s going on man?
A special club with special supporters, bar a handful of plastics on here. They support the oppo.

At a time when it feels like large gatherings of people are often built on divisiveness and hate, this was all about love. Love of the team, love of the club, love of the achievement, love of fellow fans regardless of what they look like, who they worship, where they come from, who they love, or anything else. Fuck knows we need more of that
Aitcho,
Very good point mate, and well made. That was one of things that I always considered placed Arsenal above other clubs. Also another reason why I loved living in N5.
Arteta gets slaughtered by rival fans and a tiny minority of Arsenal fans but I think he conducts himself superbly in press conferences, just needs to calm down a little on the touchline though he has improved in that area also.
Hopefully he will be our manager for at least another 5 years, a period when I will expect the Arsenal to dominate as this squad hasn’t reached its peak yet and this title success will be the catalyst for the greatest period in our history .
I just hope we bring in a couple of elite offensive players and the home grown players like Dowman, Skelly and Nwaneri also become elite , they may have to show patience as Skelly did this season but they are all very young in footballing terms but to me look like they have the right mentality to succeed .
Aitcho
We are aware one can collect a lot of information using AI Tools and copy /paste a plethora of posts to further an argument . But things from the heart reverberate and therefore are appreciated even if it is only a single good one. You have written good stuff in the past and can do it again . Quality always trumps quantity.
Let us listen to what KP tried to say a couple of days back . That man is a perennial diplomat, must say .
Let us not bring this site to the pedantic level of Le Potage.
hear, hear Hoopah!!
Hoppah, I’m not overly concerned by your thoughts and earnest support for your mutual fluffer Squeaky Vera even if I find it cute
Don’t worry about me, enjoy being a league champion.
Enjoy it like these guys

Soppy bollocks
Just remember, the more the greedy billionaires whore the club around, the more they earn and the more you will get ripped off down the fuckin line.
Prices for tickets and tat should be going down , you soppy cunt but of course they will go up and up and up.
Stan and Josh want more.
More of your fucking money.
Maybe another club or an IPL franchise for them.
Greedy no good ponces.
Same as the World Cup in the States. The billionaires get richer, the players get richer the supporters get poorer.
You will fuckin learn one day or you will continue to be soppy cunt who can’t get a ticket.
You are being mugged off.
I saw the light fucking years ago.
Even long before Dein walked out with £75 million and sold us out to these carpet baggers.
Might as well as stayed at our nice little quaint home and quintessentially English Highbury Stadium.
Watch the football by all means , have your opinions ,debates and little arguments but don’t give the greedy billionaire cunts another fucking penny.
You will learn,
Or you will continue to be that soppy cunt , who can’t get a ticket.
Right now, I’m that happy guy whose team is top of the league Fartso.
The light you saw was delusions of being relevant to any discussion of football today.
Highbury still has its lovely exterior, the pitch is garden space for the people who live there, it’s quiet pleasant. The interior, by the time we moved out wasn’t fit for the modern age. You’d know if you’d ever gone. It would have been a embarrassing today with most National League teams having better facilities.
I didn’t get a ticket for the final, most of us didn’t. No issue for you as your focus will be on hoping Spurs don’t go down old man
How did supporting the oppo go for you this season you plastic?

We are where we are now partly due to wenger keeping us in top 4 despite having no money to spend , we could easily have become a mid table club or worse , the football during the period he’s talking about was still fantastic to watch but as it’s all about winning the big trophies unfortunately he was slaughtered by the media and some fans .
For me wenger is our greatest ever manager and sacrificed his reputation to stay at the club and pay for the Emirates as he could have gone to any of the elite clubs in Europe and won the big titles
It’s a pity that we do have a minority(but loud) group of uneducated fans who disrespected wenger and now I’m sure it is that same minority who are doing the same to Arteta, those types of “fans” unfortunately can never be educated on the nuances of the game , many of those have probably never kicked a ball or attended a game in their lives.
Wicksy
One day when Wenger has passed away the facts will come to the surface. I agree Wenger was one of our greatest managers but I would include GG as one of the best because he really did work with very low funds and earnt a fraction of what Wenger earnt.
Wenger , Graham, Dein & the moronic cunt are are all alive and kicking, with huge fuckin bank balances.
They all travel business class.
And they dont worry about getting their tickets, only the plebs have that problem.
I would not worry about them too much , because they got called a cunt a few times.
I used to get that work, often, and not get paid extra.
Now pass me the fuckin violin and sick bucket.
NORG
For all Gooners still alive, George Graham was, is and always will be our greatest ever manager. Period. And that’s even after factoring in his dalliance with the Middlesex team. No other wankers even get a look in.
Kroenkephobe
Rioch took us 12th to 5th in his only season and brought Berkgamp and Platt.
Imagine the bollocks and hype , if this moronic cunt did that in his first season, instead of taking us to 8th twice in his first.
Rioch was old school, chronically underated , played the game the right way , didnt suffer fools and had his principles. Yes them fucking things.
It was about this time, when he got sacked , I knew the club was losing its way from being a serious club and money was its master.
He should have had a catchy slogan , like Trust the Process and brought a fuckin labrador, into training, he would have most have most likely lasted a lot fucking longer.
KP
Having met GG a few times in Abetone, an Italian restaurant in Winchmore Hill he was always a gentleman – he impressed my wife. With todays spend GG would have had us in the top spot season after season.
Mikel Arteta: “It was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. I went home, went outside in the garden. Start to build a fire, had a BBQ and wasn’t watching the game. Then suddenly the magic happened. My son opens the door, started to cry and said ‘we’re champions daddy’.” ❤️🔥😭
Does this sound true to you? Really Aitcho?Arteta in his garden cooking up some eyelid and pig helmet laden porky hot dogs while his fate is being decided by Bournemouth and Man City on a TV a few metres away where we’re supposed to believe his uptight offspring is sitting silently rooted to the DHS sofa (bought on HP), and ‘daddy’ (yuck) is completely and deliberately oblivious to what might be unfolding? Innocently spooning potato salad onto some paper plates while junior croupier is dealing out the cards (geddit?) at the vitality stadium? Opening a bottle o’Bokey Bola (TM eh fake Killroy?) and watching it fizzily erupt out of the top of nasty plastic cups while Nordic rent boy robot Haaland scores in vain to make it 2-1?
No…it’s all utter BBQ bullshit, mierda de Toro, whatever you want to call it. Why not just tell the fucking truth and confirm that you were sweating your balls off as the clock ticked down? This geezer is a complete phoney as Holden Caulfield would have said if he’d met him in ‘Catcher in the Rye’.
To thine ownself be true… motherfucker!
