Given that Leicester City have just stunned the world by becoming Premier League champions for the first time, there’s been little time for reflection on the fact that Arsenal have yet again failed to claim the trophy.
The Gunners were strongly tipped as favourites for much of the campaign, but the Foxes’ historic endeavour means that Arsene Wenger’s side’s wait for title glory will pass the 12-year mark.
In the end it transpired that nobody was going to catch Claudio Ranieri’s men, who were driven to glory by doubting headlines, the nation’s will and a relentlessly exciting brand of counter-attacking football.
But still, Arsenal fans will know that this really should have been their year.
Celebrity Arsenal fan Jack Whitehall had his say on Arsene Wenger during an appearance on Sky Sports, where he compared the Frenchman to a drunken party-goer who doesn’t know when to call it a night.
The scathing assessment was made not long after he and Andrew Flintoff had gatecrashed Jamie Redknapp’s interview with the channel.

Whitehall has previously revealed that his mum is actually a big Leicester fan, which he was duly reminded of by dad Michael after Monday night’s drama at Stamford Bridge.
Mrs Whitehall very over excited. Might get lucky later. pic.twitter.com/HN8DU7esQQ
