"There's a scene at the end of the film version of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, when Arsenal win the league at Anfield in 1989, where fans who live around Highbury spill out of their houses, congregating outside the ground to celebrate and sing. You may like That title triumph came after an 18-year wait, following their previous success in 1971. If or when Arsenal win the title this season, the wait will have been 22 years."
"The Norwegian confidently, but importantly not arrogantly, tells us that he believes this will be the Gunners' year. Back in late April 2004, the UK number one single when Arsenal last sealed the Premier League was F**k It (I Don't Want You Back) by Eamon. Should they win the title this season, it's pretty likely that particular song won't make the playlist."
Fans poured into the streets around Highbury to celebrate Arsenal's 1989 league win at Anfield, marking the end of an 18-year wait since 1971. A new title this season would end a 22-year drought. Modern celebrations are likely to be more social-media based while players would feel relief first and elation second after years of being nearly men. Arsenal have finished second three successive times, a joint top-flight record. Martin Odegaard expresses confident belief that this will be the Gunners' year. Memories of 2004's UK number one during the last title win are noted, and Odegaard dreams of lifting the trophy before his first World Cup with Norway.
