    Arsenal are Premier League champions.


    Amy Lawrence, Adrian Clarke and Art de Roche join Ian Stone to reflect on the club's first title in 22 years.


    The panel reflect on how they’re feeling the morning after, the celebrations outside the stadium, the communal experience of the fans celebrating together all over the world, avoiding final day anxiety, similarities to the 1989 title celebrations, paying tribute to Mikel Arteta for what he’s done for the club in his first managerial club, the player celebrations and showing they have the bottle to get over the line.
