Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time since 2004.
Here, BOYLE Sports takes a trip down memory lane to see how the world looked the last time the Gunners finished top of the pile.
The Political Landscape
Tony Blair was serving his second of three terms as Prime Minister. Gordon Brown , David Cameron , Theresa May , Boris Johnson , Liz Truss , Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer have all followed since.
The Price Of Things
The average cost of a pint of beer was £2.33 in the UK , while a pint of milk came in at just 35p. A loaf of bread would set you back 64p.
The Music And Movies
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.
Social Media And Technology
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.
Hit American TV sitcom Friends ended its 10-year run.
The Football World
Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager of Manchester United . The club have had seven permanent head coaches since David Moyes , Louis van Gaal , Jose Mourinho , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer , Ralf Rangnick , Erik ten Hag , and Ruben Amorim , with Michael Carrick set to become the eighth. Arsenal have had just three permanent bosses across that period: Arsene Wenger , Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta .
Manchester City , four years away from their Abu Dhabi takeover, finished 16th in the league, 49 points behind Arsenal , and eight points above the relegation zone.
Arsenal 's current first-team players Myles Lewis-Skelly , Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman had not been born. Bukayo Saka was just two.
The Olympic Stage
Greece hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics , with subsequent Games in Beijing , London , Rio de Janeiro , Tokyo and Paris .
Arsenal Then And Now
Arsenal were still playing at Highbury . They would make the short journey to their new home at the Emirates Stadium two years later.
Since Arsenal last won the league, Pep Guardiola has retired from playing, gone into management, won 14 trophies with Barcelona , taken a year out, won a further seven trophies with Bayern Munich , and overseen six Premier League titles as manager of Manchester City .
Arteta, then 22, was on the brink of joining Real Sociedad from Rangers . However, he would return to the UK with Moyes' Everton in January of 2005, joining Arsenal as a player six years later before he became the club's manager in December 2019.
