Shouldn't be handball. He kept his arm tightly along his side. Never used it to achieve control. Glad the ref discerned rhat properly

Incredibly proud of our club ❤. Arteta and his staff, the players, the owners, the fans and everyone associated with the club. People forget where we have come from in such a small amount of time. From the complete lack of connection with the fans to the total unity now. That in it's self is a remarkable achievement but to be also challenging for the title is amazing! Also I think people forget that this is Arteta's first time as a manager. How he has adapted, learned from possible mistakes and improved so quickly is unbelievable! Exciting times ahead!

I saw a lot of “Arsenal fans” criticizing this team on social media. it's disappointing not to have won the league but I have nothing but pride in what this team represents and I don't just mean the players. all the workers at the club gave it their all.

we're building something very very special at this football club, proud of the team COYG ..

Kai’s reaction in his interview absolutely melted my heart.

We are on Rodris mind. That's good for us. Their nerves grow.

Went to the game. Paid a daft amount for basic hospitality, totally worth it to show my appreciation and only left when asked by the stewards. Lovely to see the families on the pitch and the kids soaking up the atmosphere.

I was dreading yesterday But felt uplifted after Mikel and Martin spoke. The atmosphere was amazing the connection with the fans players and manager Mikel and Edu have taken us so far from where they began backed by josh and co again.. the future is seriously bright

Emery had a say in this. I wished Man City had Crystal Palace instead of Westham.

so proud of this team! 115 charges and the arrogance of denial.

Hi Charles, Kiwi gooner ( Ray) here and I feel your pain as well mate... i've been feeling pretty down all day today, work was hard ( particularly with an office full of Chelsea and Man united fans ). On Rodri's comments well i don' t want to sound bitter ...but maybe Rodri's right. To commit 115 FFP breaches requires stamina and mental application. Hence their amazing success. That's why there are so many Manchester City fans all over the world. Nothing empty or soul less about their success ... AT ALL......ok that's out of the system. Love our team and can't wait til the start of next season . I really feel we're going to do it this time. Arteta's drive and determination is the key as to why he won't allow this team's motivation to drop after this disappointment. Great times ahead keeps me positive despite the disappointment.

So very proud of Arsenal but gutted

Every other teams fans stay behind to appreciate their team,ARSENAL FANS stay behind to celebrate failure,apart from City Arsenal as a club are living rent free in other clubs heads,all of them more worried about what we are doing than worrying about their own Thanks for a brilliant ride Boys we are proud of you,back stronger NL IS RED FOREVER COYG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Proud of this team ❤️

Was good to meet you outside Finsbury Park as you were going to pins yesterday, thank you for all the content this season.

In my opinion, we still do not have enough ‘match winners ‘ in the squad. We need players who can make something out of nothing.

I wonder if they will go onto next season with Havertz as the main striker? He did pretty well being involved in 20 Premier League goals, and only started as a 9 for 13 games.

I’m an Arsenal fan in Accrington about 25 miles from Manchester. It’s hard I can’t even watch the local news without them reminding me about yesterday

Thanks for all your Videos this season Charles. Thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. UTA

Arsenal end the Premier League season on a high with a victory on the final day. We finish the season 2nd having conceded the fewest goals. We were second best to a team who're yet to come clean on 115 charges of wrongdoing. Proud of the Gunners & proud to be a Gunner. If we keep going at this rate, it's a matter of time before we win a major trophy.

It's been a privilege watching the boys and staff operate at the highest level season this season Charles.We have time on our side if the boys stick together.COYG

Really proud of the team and hoping we address some of the teams weakness in the summer and I think next season will be our season. Happy with Havertz and the teams performance goal wise but feel like we still need a striker. The margins at the top are so fine and a game like the Villa one where we didn’t finish any of our chances are what ultimately cost us and to mitigate that we need a natural and instinctive forward. Add to that an another wide player and a midfielder and I think we will be good for next season.

Thank you very much Charles for all the content this season, very much appreciated! Yesterday was a tough one. I didn’t see myself getting emotional but seeing the look on some of the players and fans faces made me emotional. I’m very confident that this squad and manager will deliver us something next season and I can’t wait! One thing about the NBC coverage in the USA is they talked about the 115 after they lifted the trophy. Sounds like more information will come out next season. We shall see… One last thing, yesterday was a poor poor day for KSE. Arsenal not winning the league and their NBA team, Denver Nuggets, dropping out of the playoffs. Would’ve been awesome to see both teams win it this year.

I think it would be brilliant for Arsenal if we can play City early doors next season. They take a while to get going, we have seen that every season. They start slow but finish like a train. With any luck we play them really early in the season before they’ve defrosted and snatch 3 points from them early doors Come on Gooners, stay positive, City’s window is closing and ours is only just beginning to open! We are close to winning the biggest honours!

Let's not forget that Newcastle game where ball looked like it went out and the push on gabs, that's the kind of games that messed us up

Pain from yesterday coupled with pain from shoulder surgery today. One of the medical people looking after me was a Spurs fan and he was magnanimous enough to say that despite the final standings Arsenal deserved the trophy - made me feel a bit better and thought it was very honest of him. Oh it might have been a lady actually - I'm a bit confused on details still. But wanted to show my support for your channel tonight so listening as soon as possible

Thanks for the show Charles it’s fantastic! I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers, you’ve been nearly on 100k for ages! Anyway thanks for these they are great and I can’t wait to be an even better side next season.

Thank you Charles for all your work and insight you give to put things into perspective

Really disappointed with the lack-of-professionallism by other clubs' fans the past few days. I don't understand why they think it's funny to mock us when all they are doing is ignoring the fact that we went toe-to-toe against the best club in-the-league and we have not had their depth-of-players! We've done an incredible thing and how we have no title is just the sheer scale-of-class this season v Manchester City. We're very nearly there. We are in such a good place. I could not have wished for anything else when Arteta got-the-job! Roll-on the Euros. Who would be your dream summer signing Charles and why? Thank you for the exceptional coverage this season and making it as unbiased as possible.

it was so heart melting

Hi Charles, Was nice having a little chat with you outside McDonalds yesterday. I think this season has been disappointing but at the same time I feel like there has been great progression. Next season I don’t think there can be any excuses we need to get our hands on some silverware. My player of the season is Declan Rice his impact on the team is immeasurable and he’s took no time to adjust to our level and size of club.

In my opinion, Arsenal has been the best team this season. Just a shame we fell just short. Disappointments like this is what pushes entitles to accomplish great things. This is only just the beginning. Let's take a break, reset and go again, COYG.

Best team performance for a long time .

Thanks again Charles

I found being more disappointed in the FA than anything yesterday. That fact this 115 charges has gone on long enough for two seasons where we've finished 2nd . Just want some clarity on the matter

Thanks for the video today charles,

Thanks for your work all season Charles. I had already accepted that it was gone before yesterday so I think I've already had my deflated moment. Gutted but very proud of the trajectory that we are on, especially given that this season has been another year of change in the starting 11. It's fine margins and I'm sure a ruthless goalscorer will see us over the line.

WE GO AGAIN! 💪🏼🔴⚪️

What rodri said was mind game

Much love for the boys.. Still Gutted but we move

Well done to the team who were professional and pushed the whole season long. 😊

My player of the season for Arsenal is Odegaard; The Captain played out his heart all season with the leadership he offers as well.

It's just hard to swallow this down knowing that city has 115 charges.. I don't like to win that way..

The Charles Watts football awards is the best award ever

I think what this season has taught us is that there’s no time to tinker around at the beginning of the season. Arteta was trying out a few new ideas in the first ten games, and it cost us precious points. When he finally went back to what was working well last season (Gabriel and Saliba at CB, white at RB overlapping), we went on our huge run. I think next season he will not experiment anymore and will stick with what worked so well for us from January 2024 until now. And hopefully our new signings will bring the needed skill upgrades and reinforcements to the squad.

I’m feeling very upbeat, can’t wait for the new season. Any news on Arteta’s contract Charles? Nothing to worry about is there?

Gutted. But on reflection we had a strong season. Those Villa games were crucial especially the defeat at home. We definitely need to bring in more competition for Saka and a proper no.9 and most likely look to move on Partey as his injury record means we can't rely on him to play tye majority of games in a season. Glad to see timber back big boost.

10 more points… that’s what we need to compete next season.

Timber, he is quick👍,

We could have easily played unbeaten this season but we are a X factor midfielder short. The manager has done a wonderful job and i want to thank him for all he has done for the Arsenal next season the better will become best

Where thought goes, energy flows!

❤ This Club I was in tears yesterday lol

Shame on Rodri for showing his small mentality. No matter what your '115 charges fc' will be remember as a cheating fc. We are the Arsenal and no one can point fingures on us. We are a great club and will always remain great. Thanks Charles for providing us excellent content during the whole season. Long may it continue.

WE GO AGAIN!!

Hi Charles, great content as usual. I think you should do a best of your show thought what has been an amazing season.

Thanks Charles for the work that you did during the whole season … have a Nice and deserved rest

Hi Charles, thanks for the great and regular information. I think Kai Havertz will be so much better next season as it took him a couple of months to settle in. A funny fact for you, I watch your videos on double lol.

Went into the game with no hope, but that Kudus goal made me believe against my will for a short period. Next szn is ours! We’re only getting better!

Hi Charles, many thanks for a very good summary and an excellent show. It was great seeing J Timber on the pitch, with both Tomi and Havertz scoring. Martinelli played well, too. How will you be updating your book, Revolution that will be released in July? From a fan in Singapore.

Hi Charles, on behalf of all Arsenal fans thank you for your professionalism and consistency through the whole season, you’ve contributed to us the fans. I wanted to voice an opinion that I feel has massively gone under the radar this season. But Raya on loan from Brentford has to go down as one of the most successful loans, when you think about it if at the start of the season you’d of said a loan GK is going to come in for a team and win a Golden Glove in his debut season it’s pretty wild. I can fully appreciate that being the best defensive team has also aided this massively, but regardless I have always felt the team and in particular the back four, do feel more comfortable with him behind them in net. Massive summer window ahead and roll on next season, COYG

Feel very down about. I was going to avoid content from all KZfaqrs on this but dipped for you. I just can’t get away from 115.

Martenelli was the best player on the pitch.

The Charles Watts Football Awards, sponsored by rogue TV cables... Definitely agree though Charles, was surpirsed how disappointed I was after the game yesterday. Regardless, thanks to you for another season of excellent coverage of all things Arsenal and hopeful that next season will be a successful one. Keep up the great work

My opinion. 1. Sell Nkeitah, Lokonga, Gabriel Jesus, Nelson, Ramsdale but not to rival like Chelsea. 2. Keep Thomas Partey at all cost. He is always good when fit and we need his experience and expertise at least for one season. Let's keep the crop of midfield of playes intact. Hold on to ESR. 3. Get a different breed of striker like Isak. 4. Stop playing Harvetz in midfield. 5. Keep the crop of our defenders intact. And znext season will see ys doing wonders.

What a season cannot wait till all starts again new challenges new players COYG

Martinelli was our man of the match, he was a constant menace to the Everton defence in the second half. I actually

Hi Charles, Thank you for your good content as always. I'm so proud of this current Arsenal team as I'm sure many Arsenal fans are and I can wait for us to go into next season. Just a suggestion on the Charles Watts Awards you mentioned. Is it possible to have a section where the fans can vote for your nominees for the awards to make it more interesting and engaging as well. Or we can have a Charles Watts Fans Award or something like that. 😁 Just something I said about while watching the video. Regards, Ayo

The thought that's helping my mood the most is thinking it was only 2 years ago we were in a long era of just praying for our team to get to a level of being a top 4 club again. How many years did we sit through seasons where finishing simply 4th would have been so exciting. For so many years, the idea of being at Man City and Liverpool's level seemed like a fantasy. That era feels so long ago, but it was only 2 years ago. So quickly we've put that era in the rear view mirror. We're at Man City's level. We were turning a tie against Fulham into a win from winning the League. What a great time to be an Arsenal fan! Of course I held out hope and was absolutely gutted yesterday to not get the trophy. But now that I've had a little time to exhale, I just feel so proud of this team. I've been a fan for 18 years, so for me this is the best I have ever felt about this team. COYG!!!

Hello Charles, I think with Timber back and most likely involved as an inverted LB/RB, we might sign a CB who will come straight into the team. We desperately need a combative CM to break those lines and an elite forward who can play across the front line and take those half chances.

The games we lost in December as well as the last one against Villa was what cost us. The complacency shown in the last loss against Villa was unforgiving given what was at stake. Liverpool had lost and presented us the opportunity and we failed. Tbh I must say I'm disappointed.

I love Arteta but the goalkeeper fiasco at the start of the season was a major mistake and disrupted the team. As for Saka you said it, when he’s missing it’s a BIG miss unlike Man City that have the squad to cope (i.e., Kevin De Bruyne). Rio Ferdinand said the 115 charges against Man City must be resolved a ASAP!

Thanks for all the work you've put in this season, Charles! The ambition to press on to win the league next season/make a serious run at the Champions League are obvious benchmarks, but one area that I'm hoping to see some improvement is our performance in the domestic cup competitions, notably the FA Cup. City and Liverpool always seem to be in and around the semi-finals and that's where a club of our stature belongs. We had a tough draw this season for sure, but continuing to strengthen the full squad should give us the resources to more successfully push for everything that's available. -Mike

I don't think the league was lost just because of the Villa game. Yes, 1 point from 12 against Villa and Fulham isnt what you'd want, but I don't think anyone would've thought we'd go undefeated against the 'top 6'. So you have to balance those results against each other. Even the blip at Christmas time - you can't think that with half a season to play the league is over. Looking back, that was more costly to us not winning the league, but no one can know citeh would only lose 1 game from 8th Oct when we beat them 1-0!! I believe we were the best team in the league this season - great football, most goals, least conceded, record club wins in a season etc and the ceiling is there for us to go on and improve even more. Exciting times ahead. It's a good thing to feel disappointed not winning the league, it means we are in with a chance of winning it!! And 4 years ago when arteta took over a fractured, underperforming squad with players on massive wages causing all sorts of internal chaos, who wouldve thought we'd be where we are today?! We're here for the long haul and every team in the league knows we will be the ones to beat next season!! COYG!! Calum

The fact rival fans practically had a party for us losing out on the final day says a lot.

Trossard had his worse game with Arsenal...GM was sharp...great to see him back. Timber getting back on the field was the bonus of the day. Arsenal had a brilliant season, but MC forces all takers to be perfect. Our record vs. Villa and Fulham was the killer of perfect. COYG...24/25..let's get it!

Looking at the League Table the match that comes to mind is the Totnum, if Jorginho just got rid of the ball and didn’t lose it then maybe. But that’s football we go again next season 💪🏽

Tbh im not that disappointed because i came to terms with it a few weeks back. Overriding feeling is optimism rn. If we have a good summer we can definitely go again next season. COYG

Buy these top class players .and we win this league xx

Thomas Partey is too slow. We definitely need to sign another number 6.

As long as there are no tears, he should recover from a dislocated shoulder pretty quickly. AFAIK he hasn't had this injury multiple times before that would indicate weakness in the structure...

Hi Charles, big question from the last game of the season: Did Ødegaard mean that last assist to Kai? 🤔 I felt at first he miskicked it. But after watching few replays, I am quite positive he actually meant that pass. Abit Henry-esque type faint. What do you think? Love your content, watch it daily! From Laos 🇱🇦 Tommy

We go again...played well this Season 👏 given everything just need a stronger bench end of...it was the villa game at the Emirates that done us...😐..few couple of good signings..we're getting there....COYG odegard has been fantastic....all played well. . .gazzgooner

Not sure I understand, it wasn't in our hands, even if we won, we still didn't have a say! Anfield '89 we need to win by two clear goals, it was in our hands and we did it. Next season, it's in our hands...as soon as it isn't, what can we do! Let's try and not be in that situation again. Very very proud of my team, the manager, the Club.....and the YT content providers, Charles Watts, thank you so much. Next season, sure up our Home performances, a draw against Fulham and losing the WHU & Villa at Home is no good, if just one of those had been a win, we'd be Champions!! And we can do it. Roll On August....GOO-NERS!

The next step is to get a proper number 8, a top quality right winger, another versatile defender and a striker, that's the next level. Two top quality player in every position, that's the next level.

Charles you should do a check on yourself regarding decisions of some conjecture. Even after the most obvious non- decision of the VAR and ref to the hand ball (that made 3 times - the ref opinion play / the VAR / the ref on video). You are the first person who I have heard decide it was prob wrong call. It seems to me that is almost always your go to position - negative to Arsenal or maybe versus the ref ????

Amazing amazing season, but still room for improvement. 1 point out of 12, as Charles stated, against Villa and Fulham has to be addressed next season. Need to strengthen and improve.

Yesterday was probably the saddest ive ever been since i ever started supporting this club, the look of Arteta and Ordegaard at da end of the game, i jst couldnt take it

We are in the Man City era? Perhaps Charles, you maybe right, but I want to see how the FFP enquiry rules on all those charges. Next season, looking forward to seeing a stronger Arsenal, going again.

Charles, don’t forget the prestigious “Charles Watts Supporter Award” ;) Enjoy the summer

There’s been a few disappointments in this almost-perfect season, like the dreadful run in December and 11 points given away to Villa and Fulham, or the VAR issues (which may have levelled with the couple in our favour, bar the Newcastle farce)… But as I was elaborating the sadness, there is one moment that is now vivid in my mind: City-Arsenal 0-0, few minutes left, Trossard failing to pass to Martinelli running to goal… For what it would have meant in the battle v City and what Rodri said about mentality, that is the episode that makes me most regretful. Not to blame it on the player, it’s just the one thing I wish it had gone differently. But we’ll go again next year.

Hi Charles, thanks for another great season providing your views on Inside Arsenal. There are a few places where we can say that Arsenal dropped points when they shouldn’t have done. Those that immediately spring to mind are the obvious West Ham and Villa defeats at the Emirates and the poor defeat at Craven Cottage, but we appear to have forgotten the poor decisions against us at Newcastle when not only did the ball go out of play then Joelinton blatantly shove Gabriel to score. The the appalling decision at Villa Park to disallow Havertz goal for handball after ricocheted off the Villa defenders arm. I know that I’m clutching at straws, but if we had got the decisions then we would be champions this morning

We have to sign a centre forward!!!!!!!!!!

Highly doubt it was a disolction but he may have for a ligament or tendon

Hi Charles I am really proud of the team great job by the whole team. Against man city I felt we showed them too much respect showed no attacking intent of v r not there yet then we should be addressing that . One area of improvement I see is when we r say 2-0 up and suddenly go in to a defensive mode we don't seem comfortable though we pulled thru this season,and we need a striker who can score with his head to break the low block it is too easy for teams with tall full back to block out our forwards with the ball in the air . Cant wait for the next season

Charles, I thought Martinelli was superb. He looked more dangerous on the right. Two or three times he beat the full back and cut very dangerous balls back for Havertz. He’s better playing closer to Odeegard who has the ability to angle little passes behind the full back which Martinelli can come on to at speed. If Saka can play as effectively on the left as on the right, it would be interesting to see what the result would be of them switching wings. Perhaps it’s something to be looked at in pre-season.😢

After the Villa game, I said as long as we go 6/6 now I’ll be ‘happy’. We did that but it still wasn’t enough, disappointed like everyone else we could’ve get over the line but we definitely aren’t finished here. On to next season ⚽️

Let’s not forget we won the same amount of games as City. Our issue was the games we lost!

It's the hope that kills you. Proud of the team but feeling disappointed as well - so close yet so far.

Trossard deserves 6, wasn't the worst. Underrated him all season.

Gotta be a bit more realistic: pretty obvious they already long lost it at Villa. Yes it's an improvement but I think you just have to know the quality of City's entire squad depth vs then gooners. Onwards to next season
