All tickets for the screening have sold out.
The ticket sight actually crashed due to the demand by red members.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get one, so it's in front of the telly with several several beers.

Are there any fan parks around the stadium?
21 May 2026 17:59:29
Not sure Highbury, mate, but I think there be thousands around the stadium, especially on the concourse.

I've spent a few days coming down from Tuesday's news. It has been a wild ride and I've been thinking of all sorts of ups and downs. Mad Jens getting sent off in Paris, Arshavin's 4 goals at Anfield and us still drawing, Eboue being subbed on and off (I still love him) , the hopelessness of finishing second in 2016 and the doldrums that came after, Emery to Ljungberg to Arteta and a quiet feeling of hopefulness growing over the past few seasons.
Particularly, I remember on August 28, 2011, I had just moved to Hong Kong, and went to the pub to watch us play Man U. I wound up inadvertently at a Spurs supporters' pub. We lost 8-2. By the end of that game, the Spurs fans were actually comforting me, telling me it would be ok. We signed Arteta three days later, though things weren't ok for a long while after that. But it's great now.
It has been a wild ride, and I have been grateful to have been on it with you lot. I'm feeling confident ahead of Budapest. But mostly, I'm proud of the lads and just so, so happy.

Wonderful post, Alex, just laying it out there, how you felt. Imo during them barren years we did come close on 2 or 3 occasions. I think the Birmingham game, when Eduardo broke his leg, convinced we would have won it that year. Then the season when we lost the first game of the season at home to Villa and everyone was screaming to sack Arsene, and we were top by Christmas, then Ramsey and Theo got injured and we faded away, but we did win FA Cup. Then the season Leicester won it, and I think that was Arsene's last chance to win it. I am nearly 70, so I have memories of Bertie Mee, Fairs Cup win and the double, then Terry Neil's Cup finals team, then George Graham, then the Wenger years, but a lot of young Gooners have not got them memories and they have taken a lot of stick from other teams' supporters and the media, but they have stayed loyal, especially the away support, which is magnificent, so I am so made up for them.
Like you, I am confident about CL in a strange and calm way. Mikel has had his detractors and I have rinsed him on a few occasions on this site, but he made a conscious decision imo this season to play like we have this season and not the free flowing football of previous seasons to make sure we get over the line, and that alone, to stick to that when the whole world and his dog was giving it to him big time, deserves to be rewarded. He clearly loves being manager of our club.
Anyway, take care Alex, mate, and everyone else also.
COYG. ❤️ ❤️

Great post, both of you. I am a younger gooner, so I only know Wenger and the recent days. After we sacked Emery, I was convinced that we would fade away, and I was unsure how long it would take us to be back in the mix. In that period, Spurs were challenging for the title, went into the final of the Champions League, and suddenly it felt even darker and bleaker. We won the FA Cup with Arteta, but the last few seasons, when we were the 'nearly team', again dented the confidence.
But, what a turn around this season. Not only have we got the monkey off the back, but it has given us confidence that we can win the CL. Whatever the result next week, with continuity and a few additions, we can definitely dominate the near future. Up the Arsenal! COYG!

Well done to Villa and Emery. It was a shambles when he managed us but, given how hard it is to replace a legend, I don't hold it against him. We needed Emery because it let us go and get Arteta, is the way I like to look at it.
Villa were thoroughly deserving of that EL win and managed to do it with some beautiful goals. Well earned celebrations tonight!

Congratulations Aston Villa, worthy winners and well deserved trophy.
How did Emery lose Europa only with us?!
21 May 2026 08:45:15
Of all the clubs Emery has managed, I think we had the worst mix of management issues and expectations. For all his faults at PSG, he was well resourced and never had to worry about CL qualification. When the expectation of the club and its fans is so high, he struggles, but when he is an underdog, and given freedom to operate, he excels.
Great manager - just a bad fit for Arsenal and other clubs with our expectations.

Fair point, Wire, I am happy for him and Villa.
They may be our toughest challengers for the PL next season.
20 May 2026 17:36:04
A massive congrats everyone, still buzzing, unbelievable feeling. Never doubt it, however, never felt more nervous in my life. So glad we crossed the line and it was well deserved. Yes we had bad days here and there but the boss and the players always had that hunger in them which made me believe they can do it.
And I truly hope that winning the title will give the boys that hunger for the CL FINAL.
COME ON YOU GUNNER.
Love to everyone one on this page including the Ed.

We won the league fair and square, glory glory the V'arse'anal.

Sounds like a dodge movie.

What a great couple of days. I'm so happy for the club, they deserve the trophy. Some say we're the worst champions in a while because of the way the big teams all stumbled at various points this season.
Personally I think that was because the rest of the league has become more competitive than before. There are no easy games, apart from our neighbours perhaps. :)

Fact of the day 16 year old Max Dowman has won the Premier League more times than Tottenham have in their entire history.

I love that Ireola and Arteta have been friends and team mates since childhood. Seems fitting somehow 😊.
