“This is Our Season” Raila Odinga’s Last Message About Arsenal Resurfaces

A detailed account shared by Philip Etale has brought back to light the late Raila Amolo Odinga’s passionate support for Arsenal FC, revealing what many are now calling his final bold prediction about the club’s success.

Etale recounts that on Saturday, August 23, 2025, after Arsenal thrashed Leeds United 5-0, Odinga personally called him to relive the moment.

The conversation began with a simple question about the match.

“Oh yes, sir, how can I miss to watch Arsenal playing?” Etale responded when asked if he had watched the fixture.

He describes Odinga as being in high spirits following the emphatic win, noting that he was beaming with joy. Happiness filled the air where he was.

The victory clearly meant more than just three points, as it sparked a confident declaration about the club’s future.

“Philip, this is our season,” Odinga said in his characteristic tone.

Confidence That Went Beyond the League

The excitement did not end there. According to Etale, Odinga went further to express a firm belief that Arsenal would dominate not just domestically, but also on the European stage.

“We shall be Champions this season,” he said.

He then made an even more ambitious prediction:

“Even the Champions League trophy, I believe we shall celebrate our team lifting it for the first time.”

Etale’s account highlights just how deeply invested Odinga was in the club, describing moments they watched matches together. Each Arsenal victory came with animated celebrations.

“Every time I watched an Arsenal match together with him and the Gunners won, he would jump up and down to celebrate the victory,” Etale shared.

Reflecting on Arsenal’s current form, Etale says recent performances would have excited Odinga even more.

“I know this victory would have made him crazier,” he adds. He links this excitement to how closely the team’s progress matches Odinga’s bold predictions.
