"Arsenal's anxious wait for a first Premier League title in over two decades came to an end on Tuesday night when Manchester City drew at Bournemouth. The celebrations amongst Arsenal fans and players were jubilant, and that will undoubtedly continue when the trophy is lifted at Selhurst Park on Sunday. A couple of Arsenal players have taken particular glee in goading their doubters."
"There was a feeling that the Gunners might not hold their nerve having led the table for most of the 2025/26 season, before losing 2-1 to City at the Etihad last month. That match was labelled a potential title decider, but Mikel Arteta's side won their next four games while City twice dropped points. Very few will describe Arsenal as bottlers again after a battling end to the season that included three tense 1-0 victories."
"With champagne in his hands and egged on by Saka, Lewis Skelly said: They called us bottlers, and now we're holding the bottles! Very few will describe Arsenal as bottlers again after a battling end to the season that included three tense 1-0 victories. And Arteta's side could yet achieve an impressive double, with the Champions League final against European champions Paris Saint-Germain to come a week on Saturday."
"Saka himself had a message for Arsenal's detractors in a video posted by defender Jurrien Timber. Light that up," he said. "Let me tell you something. Twenty-two years, 22 yea"
