I'm not an arsenal fan, but I love this jersey and wish they can reintroduce it having won the EPL after 2 decades

In 2005. I was literally captivated by the amazing performance of Sol Campbell, arsenal's center back at the time. That guy was so full of motivation and dedication, anyday, anytime.

Gabriel maghalles reminds me so much of him smiley

I'm not an Arsenal fan, you can tell from my moniker. Would you have preferred playing fancy football without winning any trophy?
Arsenal had finished 2nd three times in a row, Arteta had to adopt a pragmatic style of play and it has eventually rewarded him and the team.
I personally prefare Arsenal fc playing their swashbuckling style of football under Wenger and not winning anything than this eyesore Arteta is playing that is no better than prime Diego Simeone at Athletico Madrid but like i said in my last post,online banter with rival fans made the Arsenal fandom obsessed with winning the EPL by any means necessary.Hence,this unmemorable EPL victory that will be deservedly forgotten about 3years from now except that it occurred 20+years later.
P.S. I must commend you for asking your question/s reasonably.

I started supporting Arsenal the day they lost to FC Porto 2-1 in 2009 and later flogged FC Porto 5-0 in second leg at Emirates Stadium.

Even Adebayor fell in love with Arsenal because of Kanu. My first memory of anything club football was in 92-93 or there about. Our Neighbor who schooled in London had about 5-6 Video tapes of Arsenal seasons in the early 90s. Players like David Platt,Ray Parlour Winterburn, Tony Adams, and the main man then Ian Wright. We never understood anything then because , na highlights. U will just see Ian Wright banging goals anyhow. Na country football I been understand by then. It was years later I understood it. Na my School friends later make me Choose Man Utd. Congratulations Arsenal 🍾💥🤍

1997. I have endured the mockery, the pain and the "unbanterly" banter but here I am and I have no regrets whatsoever!

So many memories. KANU 3 - Chelsea 2 game. That crazy 7- 5 FA Cup victory over Reading from losing 4 nil. The FA Cup final vs. Hull City from losing 2 nil.

Sad ones. 4 - 4 vs. Newcastle from leading 4 nil. The 8 - 2 loss at Old Trafford.

A lot.
You are definitely an old timer. I watched every of those matches you mentioned.

1999...We was following kanu nwankwo after Atlanta 1996, before then we had seen his work in Ajax with Finidi, Patrick Kluivert , Seedorf, Edgar Davids and co. After Atlanta we heard he went to Inter Milan to play with Ronaldo but his heart condition gave him some trouble so he was sold to Arsenal. At Arsenal, we were introduced to a gliterrati of players like Thierry Henry,Bergkamp,Overmars,Wiltord,Pires,Viera, Sol Campbell, Kolo Toure, Ljungberg, Nicolas Anelka, Ashley Cole etc...Back then people supported Arsenal because it had a higher propertion of black footballers in the premier league and was way ahead of it's time in terms of racial integration,sound football economics (Wenger will use 10million pounds and buy 15 players and most from africa),gameplay ( the first club to play tiki taka before Barcelona), tactics (anybody in the team can score) and general football support vibe...
Just like you...in 1997
When Baba unleashed the likes Bergkamp and co.
Back then the Iceman was one of the best players world over...then Overmarrs......

When Nicholas Anelka began playing for them but this victory no sweet me because i no just like Mikel Arteta and the whole Arsenal internet fandom/haters

Supporting and watching Arsenal FC used to be enjoyable but then online banter with rival fans made the Arsenal fc fandom to become obsessed with winning the EPL.

Now that they have won the EPL [many times playing atrocious football under Mikel Arteta] .What next?

The fun has been sucked out of that club
You ain't an Arsenal fan.

I started supporting Arsenal at this same time, I do follow religiously Wednesday Football highlight on NTA . Ian Wright did wonders with breath takin goals. I also remembered the Andy Cole and Dwight York (Used to love those two black players) of Manchester United,
