I’ve never spoken about this publicly, so bear with me. But I want to articulate why this Premier League win for Arsenal isn’t ’just football’. In July 2025, my son was born with a rare condition called CDH. It’s a hernia that forms in the diaphragm, which means that the major organs develop in the chest cavity. This puts extreme pressure on the development of the lungs. We were told throughout the pregnancy that he had a 30-40% chance of survival. We had to wait until my partner gave birth to see whether he would make it or not. He had life saving surgery on day 5 of his life - and we endured a 2 month stay in a hospital in London. At times we were told that he might not make it through the night - but by the grace of god, and throughout a rollercoaster of ups and downs he survived the intensive care process. During that time was the start of the Premier League season - and the one escape that I had was Arsenal football club. We had been at hospital for a month, and hadn’t left the hospital grounds. We were there 24/7. I felt so guilty leaving him, but made the choice to find a local pub and watch Arsenal’s season opening game against Man United. And for that 90 minutes, I was able to escape the pain and sadness. Watching Arsenal become the one thing that helped me escape, even for just 90 minutes over the course of those few months. We needed a name for my boy. Something to signify strength, courage and being brave hearted. We chose Leo. He was born on the 19th July. Leandro (Leo - number 19) Trossard’s goal against West Ham. That historic goal. Will forever live in a lot of people’s memories forever. For me, it felt like destiny. Leo is now thriving. And in his first season as an Arsenal fan, he’s been spoilt. Football means so much to all of us. This football club means so much to us. It’s more than just a game. It shapes people’s lives, their character. It’s hope, it’s escape, it’s proof that hard work pays off. Whatever your reason is for loving this club and loving football - enjoy every single second of this joy. This one is for you, son. 🦁

For Those Who Waited 22 Years.

Every Arsenal fan needs to watch this.

You really can’t understand what this Premier League title means to an Arsenal fan unless you’ve lived through the last two decades with them. This is a fanbase that watched their club go from Invincibles to years of banter, financial restrictions, stadium debt, constant ridicule, losing big players, finishing outside the top four, and becoming the punchline of football conversations online. An entire generation of Arsenal fans grew up hearing stories about league titles instead of actually experiencing one themselves. Went from being utter joke, losing 8-2, 6-0 to Chelsea. Mourinho called their coach a Specialist in Failure. Some Arsenal fans were children the last time this club won the league. Some are adults now with jobs, families and responsibilities, and this is their first real moment of seeing Arsenal crowned champions. That emotional gap matters. This is not just “another title” to them, it feels like closure after years of patience. And the journey makes it even more emotional. This wasn’t bought instantly. Mikel Arteta inherited a broken squad, a disconnected atmosphere and a club many people thought had lost its elite standards permanently. Arsenal finished 8th twice. People laughed at the project, laughed at the process, laughed at the signings, laughed at the young players. Every setback became viral content. But the club stayed committed. The fans stayed committed too. They watched young players like Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Martin Ødegaard and others grow from prospects into leaders. They endured title races that ended in heartbreak. They watched rivals celebrate while being told Arsenal were “soft” or “not serious”. So when this title finally arrives, it’s not just celebration, it’s release. Years of frustration leaving at once. That’s why the emotions look different. Arsenal fans are not celebrating like a club that wins the league every other season. They’re celebrating like people who waited years to feel respected again. Like supporters who defended their club through every difficult era and are finally seeing belief rewarded. And honestly, that’s what makes football beautiful sometimes. The long waits make the moments hit harder.

The foul on David Raya was obvious & is nothing like some of the goals Arsenal have scored from corners! Arsenal were pulled up three years ago at Leicester for holding the goalkeepers arm!! #MNF #WHUARS ⚽️📊

Jermain Defoe and Jamie Carragher give their view on West Ham’s disallowed goal against Arsenal… 😬

My life expectancy may have reduced by ten years this afternoon, but it was a small price to pay, @Arsenal.

Arsenal fans when they go 1-0 down at West Ham in May, having already won the title.

Bukayo is one of us. We’re delighted to announce that Bukayo Saka has signed a new contract with The Arsenal 🙌
