Inside Arsenal's revival

Arsenal is a beautiful football club. Arsene Wenger’s invincibles team starring legends like Thierry Henry & Dennis Bergkamp, is one of the most iconic teams ever. But it’s been a while since they challenged for the title. The club slowly but surely fell off, before failing to qualify for European football in both 2020 and 2021. For many fans, Arsenal became the laughing stock of the Premier League. There was an air of disappointment & cynicism surrounding the club.

However, things started to change last season under one of the Premier League’s youngest managers: Mikel Arteta. In fact, the Gunners almost qualified for the Champions League, narrowly missing out on the final day of the season.

But this season, Arsenal have started off with an impressive winning streak, while producing a refreshing & entertaining brand of football on the pitch. Some people are even talking about the possibility of Arsenal challenging for the title again. So what’s happening at the North London club? How did they manage to turn their fortunes around? And what’s that like for the fans at the Emirates Stadium? We spoke with Art de Roché, who follows Arsenal for The Athletic, Robbie Lyle from AFTV, and Jack, a leader of the upcoming Arsenal fangroup: the Ashburton Army, to answer those questions.
