How the world looked when Arsenal last won the Premier League: Blair as PM, Eamon at No 1, £2 pints
Arsenal last won the league in 2004 when Arsene Wenger guided the side to an Invincible season
Arsenal have won the Premier League title for the first time since 2004. Here is a glimpse at how the world looked the last time the Gunners finished top of the pile. The last time the Gunners topped the league, Tony Blair was serving his second term as Prime Minister, with Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Sir Keir Starmer all yet to hold the office.
Daily life also looked different: a pint of beer in the UK cost £2. 33, a pint of milk was just 35p, and a loaf of bread set you back 64p. Tony Blair was still Prime Minister (PA) American singer Eamon’s ‘F*** It (I don’t want you back)’ topped the UK ’s number one singles’ chart the day the Gunners clinched the title at White Hart Lane.
The number one song globally of 2004 was ‘Yeah! ’ by Usher, while Shrek 2 was the biggest cinematic hit of the year. Since 2004, approximately two billion people have been born, according to UN global birth data.
Social media was in its formative existence through MySpace. Facebook (founded just months before Arsenal ’s title triumph), X, Instagram and TikTok have all gained billions of users since. The iPhone was three years away from its global launch.
