I'm really happy that Per Mertesacker was still at the club for this title win. His academy was a big part of Arsenal's success over the last few years.

In a way I am thankful for that drubbing way back in the day that led to this...

Yep. No 8-2 smashing, no Mertesacker or Arteta. No Arteta signing, no Arteta as a manager.

Per honestly has a lot to do with this. Without him, we might not have Bukayo, ESR, Myles, Ethan, Max...and all the others who came up during this reign

I still can't get over that we'll first have to consider registering Dowman when he finally turns 21 in 2030, and that's only because he was born on Dec 31st. If, like Jack Wilshere, he had been born 1 day later on Jan 1st, the first year we'd have to register him would be 2031.

Havertz, the final goalscorer of our 22 year title drought. Beautiful moment for him.

Also so happy for Gyokeres, he had a rough start to his Arsenal career but he's now just as much a champion as anyone else in the squad and he played a big part in getting us over the line with his goals and work rate.

Eze returns to his boyhood club and wins the title in his first season back. Poetic!

This is without a doubt the most successful era in club history. Champions of Europe last year, champions of the world this year, first premier league trophy in 20 years, and we're in for a UCL final still?

Last time Arsenal were champions, Louis Dunford was 12 years old, and it would be 3 years before he started playing piano.
