It still feels like a dream! Premier League champions after 22 years. Rivals fans won’t get it but it’s okay.

A French ad company once pitched the city of Paris on a strange deal: let us put ads on your bus stops, and we'll build you public toilets that clean themselves every time someone uses them. Paris now has 435 of them on its sidewalks. Taxpayers paid nothing. The toilets are called Sanisettes. JCDecaux invented them in 1981 and put the first two near the Centre Pompidou museum. They cost 1 franc back then. The city made them free in 2006. People used them 18 million times in just the first nine months of 2025. The cleaning is what people film and share. After you walk out, the door locks. The floor swings open. Jets spray the toilet, the walls, and the floor with disinfectant. The whole cabin gets a wash. About 30 seconds later, the door unlocks for the next person. If you try to walk in during the cycle, the door doesn't open. There's also a 15-minute timer inside, so you can't move in. Cities don't pay for any of this. JCDecaux builds the toilets, installs them, cleans them, and maintains them with their own staff (who, by the way, stay on the job for an average of 18 years). In exchange, the city lets the company sell ads on bus stops, info displays, and other things on the sidewalk. JCDecaux pulled in nearly €4 billion in revenue last year doing this around the world. This same trade was offered to New York. In 2006, NYC signed a $1.4 billion deal for 20 of these toilets plus 3,300 bus shelters. Two decades later, only 7 toilets are in service. The rest spent years sitting in a warehouse in Queens. The reasons get bureaucratic fast: neighborhood boards rejecting locations, state laws getting in the way, fights over wheelchair access, fights over which agency cleans them. Paris was swapping in 7 new toilets every single week during its 2024 rollout. New York managed 7 in 20 years. The same model now runs in 28 countries. The full network is 2,500 toilets strong, used by over 30 million people every year. Berlin alone has 278 of them, the second-biggest network in the world. San Francisco, Stockholm, Lagos, and Abidjan all use the same trade. Nobody pays except the advertisers. A private ad company has been keeping millions of strangers in 28 countries from peeing on the street, for free, for 45 years now. And most cities still can't pull it off.

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.

@ESPNUK that's our club ❤️‍🔥

@DavidWard252495 @talkSPORT Lol...you guys are predictable...I knew some rival fan somewhere would use the word "cringe". You can dish it but you can't take it. You'll be fine.

@talkSPORT Firstly, congratulations to them. However, I have never seen a fan base so rattled by a tiny plastic bottle. That Man City fan really got in their heads. Manager at weekend, now this dickhead. Might be champions but will always be cringe FC.

💧 "I'm just having a drink out of this bottle..." Incredible scenes from #AFC legend Martin Keown! 🤣

This dude pretends to be an Arsenal fan but really isn’t. Arsenal’s first title in 22 years and yet, look at this. Yeah, maintain the gimmick..we see through you!

❤️🤍 Arsenal fans celebrate at Emirates Stadium.

This belongs to all of us.

We did it!!! 22 freaking years!! We can finally call ourselves Premier League champions!!! Number 14!!!!!

CHAMPIONS!!! CHAMPIONS!!! CHAMPIONS!!!! The Arsenal! Champions of England!!!!

Can't wait for Arsenal to win the league, so I can go on LinkedIn and post about the power of patience and perseverance during hard times.

@akgage No Michael Laudrup, Rui Costa, Lothar Matthaus... but they included Frank Lampard! *smh Rubbish!

Rubbish

We are almost there! Destiny, glory! It might be tomorrow, it might be Sunday, but we are so close! Oh Lord!!!!

@Mastermind1808 @akgage @damben1 Oh so it's not necessarily a logical argument, it's just based on what you feel? Oya naa. Nothing do you, chief. 🫡

@tegs2108 @akgage @damben1 Loool. What's else will it be based on outside of my feelings? But to fact check me, can you name one manager that's gotten better after that age threshold? Please don't say Gasperini.

“50 year olds dont get important jobs They dont win important things too.” Ancelotti, Gasperini, Unai Emery all winning is fluke. So says the professor. 🤦🏾‍♂️

@Mastermind1808 @akgage @damben1 But there's no logical explanation to this "theory". You should be able to propose reasons why you believe this is true. How did you arrive at the magical number of 55? Where's the study? I've also given you examples to show that this isn't true.

@tegs2108 @akgage @damben1 Why would I need to tell you why they are declining? All I know is they are no longer as good. No longer as dominant. If i said I noticed that managers slump in form after winning MoTM? Will I be required to provide a why?

@Mastermind1808 @akgage @damben1 But isn't Pep still the standard when it comes to positional play? Even Gasperini's Atalanta was well known for its M2M pressing. Ancelotti has never been fixated on positional play. I'd say he leans more towards relationism. Give me an example of these "bolder" ideas.

@tegs2108 @akgage @damben1 Fresher bolder ideas from younger coaches. When Pep and Mou came on the scene, didn't they replace some managers who were "best in the world" at the time? Their time came, and their time will go. Isn't that what happens to everyone?

@akgage @Mastermind1808 @damben1 It's a strange one, I'm not going to lie. And so far, I haven't read any hypothesis. No disrespect, but this seems like one of those "based on my feelings" sort of argument.

@tegs2108 @Mastermind1808 @damben1 Tegs, it has zero sense to it Nothing about it makes any sense. If I were a GenZ, I go find one name for am; maybe racist or sexist or something… But I am the agenda king Mourinho won titles,took jobs without the big cheques & remained competitive! 😂😂😂😂

@Mastermind1808 @akgage @damben1 Your argument is still not solid. I've already mentioned coaches who are still winning in their 50s, or after 55. What exactly is the decline? In cognitive function? Tactics? Let us know. Ancelotti won 2 UCL in his 60s. Gasperini won Atalanta's first European trophy at 66.

@tegs2108 @akgage @damben1 Do declines happen in one day? Do people just fall off a cliff? Even Ancelotti went mid for a bit before going back to Madrid. Is the older version of Mourinho not inferior to his younger version? If he won the Copa Del Ray in 27/28, will that be as good as prime Mourinho?
