⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽

Congratulations to Arsenal in advance.

In my hometown, there's a wise saying: "What belongs to the priest goes to the church," and City had many opportunities to snatch victory from an Arsenal side that truly gave their all. Personally, I was surprised that Arsenal became consistent in winning matches. Arsenal's performance was hard-fought, very sweaty, and they truly deserved to win. They did it with goals and by winning matches; that's how things are proven. Haaland really  No disappointed me.

I also congratulate all Arsenal fans.

Manchester City is struggling in the hands of Bournermouth just to get a draw. I said it long ago when the fixtures were remaining about 6 matches. I told people that the problems of Manchester city would be Bournamouth and Aston Villa which is the final day fixture but I was disregarded.

I don't think anyone disregarded you. And I believed everyone was saying that the Manchester City fixtures in the final games are stronger than the Arsenal matches and that has been the discussion in the two or three Premier League Threads. When a thread was created in our local board concerning the Trophy of the league and I told them that, Arsenal have hope and people said there was no hope for Arsenal but today the hope has come to pass. Congratulations to Arsenal. But I doubt if they will win the Champions League.

Arsenal didn't had a "bad" game against Burnley or they did not "barely" won. This is a team that wins 1-0 in most of their games, stop being shocked about it. They have elite defense so they do not concede goals that easily, you have to be VERY lucky to be able to score against them.

And on top of that they just focus on scoring once, when they are ahead 1-0 then they just defend all game long and let the clock run out. This is why we should consider this situation to be normal whenever they win 1-0, that is their aim. I understand wanting to see them win 3-0 or whatever, which does happen rarely, but that is not their goal, they do not want to dominate games, they just want to make sure they can get the three points and get the title and they are doing it all the time.

[Amphenomenon]

What a night for the gunners cheering for Bournemouth! I just like the spirit Bournemouth got in with into this game against Manchester City and it's really going to be the most disappointing game for City if they could not get an equaliser and get a win in that game.
Xabi first game and he's already bringing in class into the Chelsea team, can't remember last when the blues won a game in the EPL and it's so unfortunate that Tottenham Hotspur has to be the first to meet Alonso because losing this game to Chelsea further feepen their relegation mark.

I don't see this as a disappointment because they will eventually lose the title in the end and so this will just be fatser.

Sigh, Arsenal are going to become EPL champions, this is difficult to accept or hold unto but it is what it is. City did terribly, they were actually inconsistent and the most consistent team will always be the EPL champion and this time it is not City who often capture it from Gunners.

[Odohu]

Congratulations to Arsenal on winning the league, it was not a smooth ride but it was worth it. I think from this point onwards, the barier have been broken and Arsenal will maintain consistency in the league every other year. Their next match is just a ceremony because Crystal Palace will happily allow themselves to be beaten because of the contract of Eberechi Eze. This is indeed a good time for Arsenal supporters to celebrate the club that have given them countless depression.

Congratulations Arsenal on winning the league

It's been a very long ride that Arsenal have been trophy less, a whooping 22 years of being trophy less ended today, Thanks to Bournemouth for holding Manchester City to a draw, I must say Arsenal deserves this trophy, like I'm so happy they lifted it. They made efforts and showed various levels of commitment to winning the trophy, especially in this unity time. I'm happy for Arterta, the whole Arsenal team and my very own Arsenal supporters. Tonight is your night, celebrate with pride, you earned your silverware

Even aside from this fact, another thing is that when I saw both teams remaining games, when there were 5 matches left, and Manchester City had about 6 games left to play due to their one outstanding match, I did say that Arsenal was at a bit of an advantage if both teams should lose or draw any of their games because Arsenal had secured more points than City, while City would be playing to catch up in points with Arsenal.

[GIF-JOBS]

At the last minute I thought maybe Manchester City would score another goal in the last second and win the match incredibly, but it didn't happen, they scored 1 goal in 95 Minute, but if they could have scored another one they would have had another match for the title, but this match ended in a draw and Arsenal's title was confirmed. Congratulations to Arsenal. and now Arsenal's final target is the Champions League, where they will face PSG, if Arsenal can beat PSG there too and win the Champions League title, then it will really be a golden season for Arsenal. But I am a PSG supporter there.

Manchester City drawing 1-1 to Bournemouth has made Arsenal to win the 2025/2026 premier league title. Manchester City played awful and literally handed the title to their rival. I might not be an Arsenal fan but I am truly happy for them after 20+ years of not winning the premier league and taking second position for like 3 straight seasons. This shows the power of not giving up and consistency Arteta had. Surely we rival fans banter them a lot but technically due to some of their delusional fans, they really played like a team that wants to win the league unlike the previous seasons. The title drought is finally over , massive congratulations to them and their supporters.

Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the English Premier league after 22years ago. This is a milestone for Mikel Arteta.

Concerning Arsenal winning the league, I saw it clearly the day Manchester city drew against Everton. That draw wasn't needed at all. If it was the Manchester city of Guardiola that we know used to be in mad form towards the season end, they wouldn't have lost that match.

I also think that Arsenal will not be able to win the champions league. They should enjoy the English Premier league title to the fullest and just try their best luck for the champions league finals. But to me, they aren't the favourites. However Arsenal has chances Vs PSG than against Bayern Munich.

And it's finally sealed. The street of North London finally grabs the title after a very long and dramatic season with doubts and too many questions.  A lot of people doubted, and where hoping that City could keep applying the pressure until the very last minute of the season, but it turns out that reality has a different plan. I knew Bournemouth were never going to make things that simple for Manchester city. They even had so many opportunities to extend their lead, but they were very unlucky with the wood work tonight.

And to all the true Arsenal fans that have stayed with the Club till this very minute, congratulations to you all. And as for those who still think the Crystal palace game is going to be a big decider, well I guess it's time to move on because that won't be necessary. What a night... What a game.

Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the English Premier league after 22years ago. This is a milestone for Mikel Arteta.

Yes, big congrats to Arsenal. I thought it was all over again this year because Arsenal narrowly won the premier league. They do as usual which is disappointments, but fortunately for the club, Manchester City was not so strong the way they have used to take the league from Arsenal in the previous season. I am not a fan of Arsenal, but I know the club is really worth the league since 2018 or so.

[LGD2Business]

The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived, Arsenal have won the title again after 22 years. After Manchester City drew in today's match, Arsenal clinched the championship before the final week of games was even played. Arsenal are experiencing this for the first time since the 2003-04 season. They truly deserved it.
Mikel Arteta had been trailing behind Pep for years, but this time he managed to surpass him. Arteta has been managing Arsenal since 2019, he has once again demonstrated the importance of stability. While teams that change managers every season can't win the title, those that stick with the same manager for longer periods achieve success.

[MK-74]

Manchester City drew 1–1 away from home, and the title race is over.
It was a very important match for City, they were hoping to carry their title hopes into the final week, but it didn’t happen.

Arsenal’s 22 years wait for the championship has come to an end. With City’s draw, they officially declared their title.

A famous Turkish broadcaster had previously planted soil from Galatasaray’s pitch at Arsenal’s stadium. Maybe that also played a part in Arsenal becoming champions. 😂😂😂

[Franctoshi]

The wait is now officially over, top spot secured. What a journey! What consistency! As Arsenal has ended their longest gap between titles in the Premier League record, meaning that it took Arsenal roughly 22 years (2003/04-2025/2026 seasons) to be crowned the Premier League champions once again, what a team! And what a journey.
It was indeed numerous effort and consistency put together in the last three seasons that has helped the Arsenal football club achieve this.

[dezoel]

Manchester United could have scored 4 goals if Mbeumo managed to take advantage of 2 chances that could have been confirmed as goals. But he always lost control of the ball and was in such a hurry that the ball often bounced over the post.

On the other hand Arsenal secured another 3 points over Burnley with a narrow score and obviously I don't like Arsenal's minimal goal productivity. They must be more aggressive in scoring goals.
Until the 37th match is not yet official as the winner of the EPL title, Arsenal must wait for the results that Man City will get in today's match against Bournemouth.

United guaranteed the third place already, but this was a good win, they are just not caring about it too much because they know that they will finish the season third place. I think it's clear that we should be considering this situation to be very different in the end.

I understand the way they are looking at this, and it does look like they are just looking at the season as something that is soon to end and relaxing right now. I bet that they will do better next season if they can keep Carrick in charge.

That’s why people said that in every situation there’s surely relief, all this while that Arsenal performances look very poor in the premier league a lots said they’ve have already give up for them because thy don’t see they can able to win the premier league any more. But with the power of not giving up as you stated earlier the champions still be yours; this show that in life what ever your doing even at times things goes wrong just try and build yourself one more every day is a second chance to try.

Once again congratulations to Arsenal consistency has paid them off, I don’t know that Bournemouth strong and a dangerous club. Because even the last time they meet Arsenal and win Arsenal I thought it was Arsenal that didn’t play well, but their today match against Manchester City it has clear that their stubborn club.

[Amphenomenon]

Y'all are just too concerned about City draw and thereby Gunners lifting the league but I can't be congratulating a rival, yes I knew they will win it after City tie with Everton.

My team won against Tottenham, at least we were able to keep our heads up against them although we have been shity since this or even before then. Winning against Spurs was something I fear might not happen but thank God we won and got all three points that doesn't change much for us.

[pawel7777]

Congratulations to Arsenal and their fans. It was a long wait. Some of their fans and players weren't yet born when Arsenal last won the Premier League title.
It's a well-deserved win, but the truth is, their main competitors have been a bit disappointing this season. Man City earned 91 points two years ago, this season, they may not see 80. But Liverpool have been much worse. They started the season quite confidently, but things fell down like a house of cards later on. Hopefully, in the 2026-27 all 3 clubs will be at their best.

Arsenal can now focus entirely on the Champions League final against PSG on Sat 30th May. I haven't checked historical records, but I think if they manage to win both trophies, this could be their best season in history. I really hope they are strong enough to beat PSG.

[Stable090]

Congratulations to Arsenal for winning the English Premier league after 22years ago. This is a milestone for Mikel Arteta.

Honestly the congratulations has to be louder!!!!! they forth so had and I think football just won, for the past three years they have been on the line I think it’s well deserved. Congratulations once again to all the Arsenal fans.

Concerning Arsenal winning the league, I saw it clearly the day Manchester city drew against Everton. That draw wasn't needed at all. If it was the Manchester city of Guardiola that we know used to be in mad form towards the season end, they wouldn't have lost that match.

Exactly that was where it ended for Manchester city, you could see it clearly from the players reaction after that match against Everton, but they just had to keep pushing and Arsenal also were lucky to get a win at there game against crystals palace it would have still being a different ball game now. However it was also an interesting season even though most of the top 6 teams didn’t put up a good performance.

I also think that Arsenal will not be able to win the champions league. They should enjoy the English Premier league title to the fullest and just try their best luck for the champions league finals. But to me, they aren't the favourites. However Arsenal has chances Vs PSG than against Bayern Munich.

About the champions league it’s open for them, they can also get it easily if PSG decide to be awful as they use to be something, nobody thought Chelsea could win them in the club World Cup final. So I thing they will also win them in champions league also, it’s just an Arsenal year I think.
