For what he\u2019s done, it\u2019s almost visionary what he\u2019s done. He came in, turned everything around, got the owners on side, got the fans on side, got players out, got players in, stuck to his principles.<\/p>\n \u201cHale End\u2026 Per Mertesacker is leaving now, unbelievable work he\u2019s done for us.

Now they can\u2019t do that no more.<\/p>\n \u201cAll that noise has got to stop because everything he\u2019s done has led to them winning the league so they can\u2019t hammer him for his gimmicks now.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fans getting hammered, \u2018We\u2019re bottlers, we\u2019re this, we\u2019re that!\u2019, we\u2019ve had to take that for the last three years and now this season, this team, with the squad they\u2019ve built\u2026 people said at the start of the season that this squad was good enough to do it and they were.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked about his celebrations and feelings while watching Man City draw against Bournemouth, Wright continued:\u00a0\u201cWhen Bournemouth scored I was absolutely over the moon. They missed a couple of good chances as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI got my Mrs and my girls in a cab and said, \u2018Come on, we\u2019re going down there! Let\u2019s go to the Emirates\u2019, and then Erling Haaland scored.<\/p>\n READ: The six Premier League tables to show how Arsenal proved Neville wrong and won the title<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThere was only a minute or two to go and the taxi man had it on, I said to turn it off, \u2018I don\u2019t want to listen to it!\u2019, and then bam, he blew the whistle and it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n Arsenal could yet be celebrating two trophies at their north London trophy parade, if they can get their hands on the Champions League trophy too, with the date confirmed as Sunday May 31.<\/p>\n The parade will start at 2pm in the afternoon in a quick turnaround for players, staff and fans heading to Budapest for the Champions League final the day before.<\/p>\n An Arsenal statement confirmed: \u2018This will be a major public event, and we anticipate large numbers of supporters will turn out in the local area.<\/p>\n \u2018We hope you are able to join our celebrations on the day.

The relief\u2026 I can just picture the scene now with all the staff, all the players.<\/p>\n \u201cThey would have all got together in the small hope that City didn\u2019t win at Bournemouth, just in the small hope, just in case.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll be absolutely on the way to getting s***faced and so they should because all of the stress has just been released from them.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the hard work, all the dedication, all they\u2019ve had go through, not only this season but last season, the season before, the season before that.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve been the best team, they deserve it and I hope they have a great few nights.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Mourinho and Keane-angering pundit among those who believed in Arteta and Arsenal at their worst<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\nWhen will Arsenal have their trophy parade?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
