Arsenal’s title win 25 years ago still sends a shiver down the spine

It’s mere coincidence for us Gooners to be basking in the glow of our first trophy in nine long years, as the silver anniversary of that magical Mickey Thomas moment rolls around.

Yet with us now existing in an age where superstar footballers seemingly measure their worth to their employers in terms of obscene Bugatti style birthday presents, I find myself unavoidably harking back a quarter of a century and focusing on the stark differences between then and now.

Doubtless Man City fans will look upon their first title triumph, after such a depressingly long sojourn in the doldrums, as being no less dramatic.
