Arsenal win league

bbop

fair play easily the best team

WhiteWashMan

i thought they had to beat spurs to win?

PHB

yep, but that was only if chelsea beat newcastle

Since chelsea have lost to newcastle Arsenal are now the champions, I think

They have a habit of winning it at the right places don't they?
Old Trafford(Their rivlas that year)
White Hart Lane(vs. Spurs )

Well done the arse. Deserved it. Leman acting the egit again. One more hurdle for them, going through the season unbeaten.

WhiteWashMan

bah, stupid newcastle!

PHB

I get 66 quid if Birmingham beat them
I get 50 if Leicster beat em

It'd just be so great

Although I dont think it should have been a peno (it was hardly a push), Lehmann is such a complete muppet and I was delighted to see Keane score the peno. Fair play to Keane, push the opposing keeper over and win your team a peno. Lehmann is a total liability and if Wenger has any sort of sense he will dispose of him in the summer. You could see the incident coming as soon as keane put him under pressure at the corner.

Easily the best team in the division this season so well deserved

Don't sky count titles won before 1992 now then? listening to Sky News it's all about the winning their 3rd Premiership title

As a Forest fan hopefully they will now let up a lose a game

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

Seems like every time I go to The Goat to watch Arsenal matches they get a disappointing result, but today I leave a happy gooner

Congrats to Arsenal, well deserved. the big difference between Arsenal last year and this has been their dicipline. Apart from the handbags at Old Trafford, they have had no key players missing through suspensions.

Pepe LeFrits

A little OT, but if these Van Persie rumours are true (and I reckon they are), he must be hankering to move to Highbury now

valor

congrats to arsenal

Big Ears

Well done Arsenal fully deserved .

Fair play to Arsenal, best team overall. I'm looking forward to the fight for the title next season already because I reckon 4 teams will be after it next year, call it a hunch!

woosaysdan

i just like to say congratulations to arsenal what they have done this season imo wont be repeated even by arsenal!!!(the whole unbeaten so far thing!!!) but next season will be different!!!

johnor

Yea Great Season for Arsenal, Wonder how much better it could have been had they spent their money on the likes of Frey or someone instead of Lehmann....I rate Stuart Taylor more than him.....

Again Congrats to Arsenal...love to see the odds on birmingham ending their run

Seem to be contradicting yourself there. Definite peno as far as I 'm concerned, Lehmann wrapped his arms around Keane's neck and then pushed Keane. Keane responded to that.

Still, fully deserved championship for the Gooners, the 2nd they have won at White Hart Lane (and both times they won the double)...:mad:

Spurs look safe at last, Leeds need to win all three of their remaining matches to finish above us. So North London is a happy place for everybody...

Why?, Wenger wants the Record and will go for a win only 4 games left now.

Pepe LeFrits

made me laugh when I saw it on TV today, not least because of the message but also because of the spelling

Dustaz

I was working all day but jesus..... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!



Bit of an anti-climax (for me anyway not seeing a single frame of the game) but winning the league at spurs will keep the hearts warm for a few more years.


As to the unbeaten run, now that they have actually won the league, wouldnt it be fair to say they won it unbeaten regardless of the next few results?

Pepe LeFrits

oh, and they said Sol Campbell would never win the title at White Hart Lane!

badum-tish.

Just think he might be inclined to play some of the "squad" players he has....bookies dont tend to look at that kind of thing and I reckon Brum are in with a shot...

Keown needs to play every game to get a medal?? If i were wneger id give Taylor a run in the team ahead of Lehmann. Id imagine Bently will play a few games?? I know you say he wants the record but he might be happy to not have it hanging over their head next season...

Taylor is injured, might see Stack though.

Senderos, Hoyte, Fabregas, Bentley, and Aliadiere are also possibilities.

That little dance Arsenal did at the end was hideous though

I'm scarred for life!

Champions!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

WHL '71, Anfield '89, Old Trafford '02 and now WHL '04 - talk about timing it to perfection

The Arsenal team, Sol Campbell and all, came out again afterwards to celebrate with the (Still locked in the ground) gooners, theres some pics on the first 3 or 4 pages of http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/ph/fo_arsenal_p.html

6 Arsenal players in the PFA team as well.....The outstanding Kolo Toure really should have been in there as well imo.

Congrats to Arsenal, I'm a happy little bunny today! Although they won it with 4 games to go, I still felt it was a tight championship right up to the end, more so than other recent years. I believe Arsenal will now switch into exhibition gear the the remaining matches - expect some high scorelines!!

LizardKing

Fair play Arsenal ... Best team in premiership .. no doubt ...

vorbis

CHAMPIONS!:D
I thought our two goals yesterday were class. Bit harsh to give the penalty against Lehmann though. Still I reckon we should be looking for someone else. He's dependable but I can't ever remember him making a save that he had no right to. (ie. stopping a one on one). We need a goalie that can win you matches you don't deserve to.

Mossy Monk

happy days

and the best bit was looking at the face on the spurs fan i was watching it with, he was happy with the point though

Yeah....well done Arsenal...well deserved...

Well done Arsenal, best team in the league by 2 country miles

How did lauren get on the PFA team and not Toure?!

robbie1876

How did lauren get on the PFA team and not Toure?!

I had the same thought. The PFA team is based on the year 2003, not the current season. Lauren had a last season, whereas Toure is just coming into his prime now. Don't worry, he'll be in next year's team!
