After a campaign that has tested the very soul of the North London faithful, Arsenal stand on the precipice of history. The Gunners are now within touching distance of their first Premier League crown in 22 years, a feat that would send ripples of joy from the stands of the Emirates to the bustling viewing centres of Surulere. This season has not always been a thing of beauty for the eyes, but in the scheme of things, Mikel Arteta. �s men have shown the kind of grit that separates champions from pretenders. They have done it the hard way, grinding out results when the chips were down and refusing to buckle under the immense weight of expectation. At the end of the day, it is this resilience that has given them the lion. �s share of the points when it matters most. The Nigerian international in their ranks, while not always grabbing the headlines, has been a stalwart presence, doing the dirty work that allows the flair players to flourish. GoalZaza can confirm that the powers that be at the club have maintained a steely focus, blocking out the noise from rival camps. The squad, from the seasoned defenders to the young talents finding their boots, have given a good account of themselves in every fixture. With each passing matchday, the belief grows stronger that the wait for the trophy is finally about to end. In the local viewing centres across Lagos and Abuja, the atmosphere will be electric. Fans clad in red and white jerseys will be on the edge of their plastic chairs, shouting instructions at the television as if the players can hear them. Every tackle will be met with a collective groan, every goal with an eruption of cheers that drowns out the sound of generators. When the final whistle blows and the title is mathematically secured, expect jubilation to spill onto the streets, with motorists honking their horns in a cacophony of celebration that will last well into the night. The owners of these centres will surely be counting their naira from the endless orders of malt and drinks.
