    I’m really happy that Per Mertesacker was still at the club for this title win. His academy was a big part of Arsenal’s success over the last few years.

        Yep. No 8-2 smashing, no Mertesacker or Arteta. No Arteta signing, no Arteta as a manager.

          Per honestly has a lot to do with this. Without him, we might not have Bukayo, ESR, Myles, Ethan, Max…and all the others who came up during this reign

        I still can’t get over that we’ll first have to consider registering Dowman when he finally turns 21 in 2030, and that’s only because he was born on Dec 31st. If, like Jack Wilshere, he had been born 1 day later on Jan 1st, the first year we’d have to register him would be 2031.
