Arsenal Beat West Ham! VAR Controversy, Callum Wilson Drama & Title Race Fallout

Are Arsenal on the verge of becoming "The Untouchables"? In this episode, John Cross, Chief Football Writer for the Daily Mirror, breaks down Arsenal's monumental achievement of capturing the Premier League title after a 22-year drought. Reflecting on the incredible transformation under Mikel Arteta since December 2019, John dives into how the Gunners cured the toxicity, rebuilt their culture, and finally outgunned Pep Guardiola's Manchester City juggernaut. We discuss how Arsenal shook off the "bottler" allegations after devastating defeats, their shift to a pragmatic but resilient mentality, and the massive performances from stars like Declan Rice, David Raya, William Saliba, and Bukayo Saka. Plus, with the Champions League Final against PSG just 10 days away, John explores what a historic double would mean for Arteta's legacy, the shifting landscape of the Premier League with Pep departing and Arne Slot at Liverpool, and rumors of Julian Alvarez arriving at the Emirates this summer. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - The 22-Year Wait is Over: Arsenal's monumental Premier League title win. 00:28 - Arteta's rebuild: Curing the toxicity and changing Arsenal's culture since 2019. 00:55 - The Ultimate Prize: Previewing the Champions League Final against PSG. 01:23 - Overcoming the "Bottler" label: Bouncing back from defeats to Manchester City. 02:24 - Holding their nerve: The crucial Burnley victory and Arteta's "mini-season" mentality. 04:04 - Unfair criticism?
