Oh my goodness, after 22 years Arsenal are champions of the Premier League. I don't know about you but I've been tearful on and off since.

It hasn't sunk in yet maybe it will by the parade on 31st May 2026.

After 22 years without a Premier League title, Arsenal could finally be crowned champions tonight - and somehow Bournemouth may hold the key.

Luke Anthony reacts to the massive Premier League title race as Arsenal wait on Manchester City’s result against Bournemouth. If City drop points, Mikel Arteta’s side could end over two decades of hurt and finally bring the title back to North London.

The episode looks at Arsenal’s incredible journey under Arteta, the pressure of chasing Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, and whether the apprentice can finally become the master. With rumours surrounding Pep’s future at City, this title race feels even more historic.

Will Bournemouth do Arsenal a favour? Or will the title race go down to the final day against Crystal Palace?

In a game that truly tested Arsenal, we came out on top - and that’s what makes this result so significant. After disappointing setbacks against Brentford and Wolves, the pressure was mounting. Questions were being asked about consistency, mentality, and whether Arsenal could respond when the stakes were high. This wasn’t just another fixture on the calendar - it was a must-win game that had the potential to define momentum in the Premier League campaign.

The result says one thing — the performance maybe another. We get into how Sunderland gave us a proper game despite the scoreline.

Six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a brutal run ahead… plenty to unpack, plus the usual nonsense along the way.

Arsenal fans, this is one that hurts. In this episode, we relive the Emirates heartbreak as Manchester United edged a 3-2 victory, dissecting every twist, missed chance, and defensive lapse that left supporters frustrated and questioning the team’s consistency.

We dive into the raw emotions of watching a promising Arsenal side falter when it mattered most, debate what Arteta could have done differently, and explore what this defeat means for the club’s Premier League title ambitions. From tactical missteps to moments of near glory, this episode captures the highs, the lows, and the “what could have been” of a truly dramatic game.

What a derby. What a statement. What a player Eze is.

We can all relax (and brag) until Wednesday after beating our bitter rivals Spurs. Arsenal didn't get out of third gear and didn't need to.

In this epsiode. we gloat, bask in the glory and breakdown our take of the game whilst looking ahead of our next two fixutures against Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
