Arsenal’s 22-Year Wait Ends: From Nearly Men to the New Standard
About this episode
The episode discusses Arsenal's long-awaited Premier League title victory and the implications for the team's future.
Sunday, the 24th of May, 2026, and Arsenal have done it. Finally, properly, undeniably done it — the Premier League title is theirs after a 2-1 win at Selhurst Park, a coronation that felt more like a sunny parade than a frantic decider. Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke put Arsenal in control, Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back and a VAR call denied a late Yeremy Pino equaliser. The day also underlined Arsenal’s depth and direction: 16-year-old Max Dowman became the club’s youngest Premier League starter, Eberechi Eze returned to Selhurst in red, and Mikel Arteta’s side now step into a new role as the team others must chase — not just a title won, but the start of something bigger.
