Arsenal supporters already know the date.
The club have confirmed that the Premier League title parade will take place on 31 May, with celebrations set to roll through Islington after the Gunners ended their 22-year wait to become champions of England.
But while supporters are already preparing scarves, songs and celebrations, Mikel Arteta appears to have something even bigger in mind.
One trophy would be historic.
Two would be unforgettable.
Huge Crowds Expected As Islington Prepares
Reports on social media have suggested enormous crowds could descend on Islington for Arsenal’s title parade on 31 May, although official attendance estimates have not yet been confirmed.
Arsenal and Islington Council have warned supporters to expect significant disruption and large numbers throughout the borough as celebrations take over North London. The club has confirmed the parade will begin at 2pm and take place the day after the Champions League Final.
Huge crowds are expected to line the streets of Islington, with supporters travelling from across the UK and beyond to celebrate Arsenal’s first Premier League title in 22 years, although no official attendance figure has yet been released.
That timing is what has added another layer of excitement.
Because if Arsenal can overcome PSG in Budapest on 30 May, celebrations could become something even more memorable.
Premier League Secured, But One More Dream Remains
Nobody inside the club will want to look too far ahead.
The Premier League title deserves its own moment.
But supporters will not stop dreaming.
Arteta has already spoken about celebrating properly before immediately refocusing on what comes next, and that next challenge is the biggest European night Arsenal have faced in a generation.
An Islington parade carrying one trophy would already become one of the greatest days in modern Arsenal history.
Add the Champions League into the mix?
That becomes the kind of day supporters talk about for decades.
For now though, there is still work to do.
First comes Crystal Palace.
Then comes the trophy lift.
Then comes Paris Saint-Germain.
What do you think Gooners, if Arsenal beat PSG, would a two-trophy parade become the greatest day in the club’s modern history?

I’ve thought long and hard about going to the parade but I’ll settle for the CL screening instead. Not for want of witnessing the celebrations but more to do with advancing years and the sheer number of people bc and the mayhem that comes with it. My heart will be there. I hope there’s a bit on the tv to watch

Adding a European triumph would cap off the best campaign in Arsenal history, but yes the stage is set for what is shaping up to be an iconic European night.

Going a PL season unbeaten can’t be scoffed at either its up there as far as our history goes -as is winning at WHL, Anfield & Old Trafford but yes the prospect of a PL and CL double is also an achievement of huge merit. WHY? Man Utd & LFC were greater challenges and bigger sides than is PSG.
Jus sayin

Here I was reviewing comparing and contrasting some more campaign(s) in Arsenal *history. Its up to individuals (i suppose) which of these was best.
Good morning SueP,
Anything you miss, the Webpage will surely cover.👍
Thanks for sharing
Especially Sue that it’s been predicted up to a million (hard to believe) will be there which would make it the biggest gathering in London ever.
OT
Anybody see Francis Jeffers, Jens Lehman at Noni’s interview yesterday? Everybody is coming out the wood work on what is a massive return for the club to success. Noni at 24 sharing his moment with players that we remember came and left us. Its probably my 5th Arsenal Title winning experience but the capacity for [*global coverage] is most overwhelming in a good way.
#wonderful tv
Turning now to the CL Final –
From what i gather all our players are well and truly up for it. Rightly so because we had played them bridled last time and its bridles OFF when we meet in Budapest whether or not Timber is available players are dutybound to step things up and find a way knowing a chance quite like no other has arrived for us to double-up on our success.
Ooh to… ooh to be… Oooh to be a… Gooner!
We will win the CL by the grace of God
