Calm after the crisis has Gunners feeling good

A year ago, the atmosphere in the room was toxic and mutiny seemed on the cards.

Yet 12 months on, and the tension at Arsenal’s AGM appears to have dissipated. Instead there was a joke by chief executive Ivan Gazidis at Tottenham’s expense, and chairman Chips Keswick refusing to answer a question about the Qatar World Cup as he didn’t think he’d live that long (maybe you had to be there for the latter).

There was some anger at majority shareholder Stan Kroenke’s refusal to engage more with fans and allow them to purchase more shares, but the meeting yesterday showed quite how far Arsenal have come in the past year.
