With this title, Arsenal join Liverpool as the only English clubs to have been top flight champions in eight different decades. Man United and Everton are next on the list with titles in seven different decades. That's what you call having a history.

This beautiful piece of writing by @poorlydrawnarsenal.com is so much more beautiful to read now Arsenal have done it. The Arteta story doesn't happen without Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, and Granit Xhaka. They deserve this moment just as much as the players in this year's team.

It is so sad – and explains a lot about this season – that the Arsenal XI which started against Barca in last year’s UWCL final have never been on the same pitch since. Nor have the XI which took the lead in that game. And now – with Beth and Katie leaving – they won't ever have the chance again.

Twenty years ago today, we saw one of this century's most unforgivable acts of cultural vandalism, as HBO declined to renew the actors' contracts for a fourth season of Deadwood. The greatest written TV show in history, cut down in its prime.

I bow to no-one in my appreciation of Emily Fox, but when she gets shoved over in her own six-yard box, she needs to stay down until the ref calls a foul or stops play, not get up and carry on. If she stays down, there's no corner and no second goal. It may be admirable but it's not smart.

How did this go from a Chelsea throw-in ten yards inside their own half to a free kick inside Arsenal's, either side of the Bompastor red card?

Only 4th March, but Arsenal have already played the same number of games they played in the whole of their 2021/22 season. Here is how their records for the two sets of 45 games compare.

The quotes confirm what we all feared, every 38-year-old dude in America listens to Arsenal podcasts

Vicky Lopez must drive her team-mates absolutely mad.

The Top 25 teams in English football in terms of average home attendance over the course of the 2024/25 league season. For the second season running, Arsenal are the only club to have two teams in the list.

Walking round the house this evening singing cup final songs, it occurred to me that 'We're the famous Arsenal, and we're going to Wembley' is a nice fit for 'She's the famous Mariona, Mariona Caldentey'. That may come in handy during the merry month ahead.

Chelsea may be cruising to an invincible WSL title, but facts are facts: if it wasn't for Emily Heaslip's dodgy penalty decisions vs Arsenal and Kirsty Dowle's fastest whistle in the west vs City, Renee Slegers' red army would now be top.

I was down a Dick Cavett rabbit hole on YouTube last night, and it struck me how much he looks like your man Martin McCann from Blue Lights.

At the age of 56, Vinny Samways remains the youngest man alive to win the FA Cup with Tottenham.

When I first saw this headline, I thought it said 'Kemp's fury', which is just about plausible, and would have made a much more enjoyable story.

By my count, Alex Burghart will be the 39th person to appear at the despatch box at PMQs since the once-a-week era began in 1997, and Rayner vs Burghart will be the 21st different PMQs match-up since the 2015 election (a good indicator of turmoil). There's still never been an all-female match-up.
