And I do really believe that, especially Manchester City, and I don't want to sort of revel in them losing because it's not about them today.

But I don't think they can do this.

I don't think they can...

make something happen like what happened last night and and it is something that i think arsenal fans should be really proud of because i think there has been this really weird narrative all season about how much we celebrate are we embarrassing and i think maybe as a fan base we need to get a bit better at not caring not caring about all the noise and the talk sport headlines and and just enjoying it

How old would I have been?

Seven or eight?

I grew up just outside of North London.

My dad sort of pushed me into being an Arsenal fan.

I think mainly because they're sort of the closest Premier League club.

It was also a bit of a wind up because his father-in-law, my granddad, my mum's dad was a Spurs fan.

And so I think he found it quite funny to push me towards Arsenal.

Obviously, I was 11, 12 when we won it last time when we were invincible, when we had players like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

And I was stupid enough, well, young enough and naive enough, I guess, to just think it was going to be like that forever.

I thought we'd always have players like Thierry Henry.

I thought we'd always have, you know, I thought we'd go invincible again.

And then, you know, you watch the Wenger thing kind of peter out and it's sort of sad and depressing and, you know, he's someone who gave us everything and it was almost cruel watching the way he maybe lost touch with the game a little bit and, you know, obviously the finances and the stadium, we can't compete every summer watching players that you love leave for other clubs and go on to win things.

You know, the Emery thing was mad, that was depressing and then we take that chance on Arteta and...

It always felt right, the Arteta thing.

And I think it's funny looking back on moments over the past few years.

I remember when we lost to Brentford on the first game of the season, people saying, should he go?
