Summary
The story of Arsenal’s 2025-26 triumph is relatively unusual in modern football. Yes, it has some of the classic components: an exceptional team, a coaching guru and the obligatory enormous expenditure on transfers. But it is distinct because it is a tale of persistence and continuity.
On this episode, Jon & Joe perform Ring for Analysis on this article by James McNicholas https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7291434/2026/05/19/inside-arsenal-premier-league-title-win/
