Arsecast Extra Episode 695 - 20.05.2026 🏆
5/20/20261 hr 48 min
In this episode we're talking the morning after Arsenal were confirmed as Premier League champions for 2025-26. We chat about our experiences of Tuesday evening, how it played out on the pitch and off it, the subsequent celebrations, and try to put into words what it means to win the league again after 22 years. There's discussion of the journey the club and fans have been on together, Mikel Arteta finally getting over the line at the expense of Pep Guardiola, some key players and moments, and reflections on how this season played out. We also answer listener questions, and while focusing on the positives, we take a little time to start the process of giving a bit back to some of those who have invested in Arsenal's failure, as well as some words of appreciation for the Arseblog and Gunnerblog communities who have played a big part in our experience of this fantastic achievement. All that and lots more.

It'd sell loads. Y-y-you know, um, I, I, I was thinking that, you know, for this podcast, because of the occasion, because of everything that, that... Like, I need to do an intro, I need to do some audio stuff. I, I, I'm just overwhelmed because there's so much, I don't know what to do. I didn't know what to do. I just thought the best thing is for us to sit here and start recording and, and see what happens. This is a first, James.
