"After three consecutive years as the Premier League's designated nearly men, the Gunners finally look poised to win the title, ending a dry spell that has lasted more than 20 years now. Though dominant domestic campaigns are often accompanied by lackluster continental showings, Arsenal has to be considered one of the big favorites on that front too, their 3-1 home win over Bayern Munich last month still standing as the single most impressive result of this Champions League season."
"And the good times for Arsenal fans aren't just limited to what's happening on the pitch, either. If Zohran Mamdani is now internationally known mostly for running a wildly successful, potentially paradigm-shifting leftist campaign that shocked the world by winning him the mayoralty of New York City, a non-negligible amount of his coolness comes from his endearingly dedicated Arsenal fandom. Hell, even outside the worlds of sports and politics, it seems like the entire internet can't stop talking about Gooners."
Arsenal look poised to win the Premier League title after three consecutive near-miss seasons and a more than 20-year drought. Domestic success is paired with serious Champions League credentials, highlighted by a 3-1 home win over Bayern Munich that stands as the season's most impressive result. The squad is described as the strongest, deepest, most complementary roster in Europe and sits under manager Mikel Arteta, one of the game's few genuine difference-makers. Arsenal fandom has surged into broader culture, with figures like Zohran Mamdani publicly known for dedicated support. The team's style is hyper effective but remarkably joyless, producing spectacles that primarily thrill hardcore supporters. Recent results include a 4-1 North London Derby win and a 3-0 victory over Brugge in the Champions League.
