These 10 Internet Apps Didn't Exist When Arsenal Last Won the Premier League

Arsenal fans around the world are celebrating as their beloved club lifts the Premier League trophy again, ending a drought of more than two decades. For the loyal supporters of The Gunners, this moment is more than a standard title celebration; it’s the first time they can showcase Arsenal’s success across modern social media. The last time Arsenal won the Premier League was in the 2003–04 season, when Thierry Henry and his teammates earned the Invincibles, and the digital world as we know it today had not yet been born. Imagine: back then Gooners celebrated the title but could not flaunt it on Instagram, nor watch highlight videos on YouTube. To illustrate how long the wait has been, here is a list of internet services that did not exist at all when Arsenal last won the Premier League: When Arsenal secured the league title at White Hart Lane in April 2004, Mark Zuckerberg had just begun The Facebook. At that time the site was still exclusive to Harvard University students. There were no club fan pages, supporter discussion groups, or status-update features to celebrate the win. There were no concept of fan-shot vlogs from inside the stadium or low-resolution bootleg clips of goals on the internet. Unfortunately, Twitter had not yet launched and would only debut in 2006. There were no hashtags celebrating the title that could trend globally. Everything was still done in person, via landline or paid-per-character SMS. The players and supporters of Arsenal at the time could only capture moments with pocket digital cameras or roll-film cameras, then print them at a photo lab.
