Quadruple mentions per matchweek
Raw count of posts and replies containing the word quadruple in each Arsenal fixture this season. The narrative sits flat for most of the campaign — then explodes as the trophies start slipping away. MW32 and MW33 alone account for most of the season's chatter, almost all of it mocking ("quadbottle", "quadruple of second place finishes").
MW1–MW19: near-silence (≤3 mentions/week) — season still forming, too early for trophy maths.
MW20–MW31: slow burn as Arsenal stay alive in all four competitions — 2 to 26 mentions/week, split between hope and mockery.
MW32 (ARSBOU): 165 mentions — collapse narrative begins, "from quadruple to nothing" becomes a meme template.
MW33 (MCIARS): 218 mentions — peak week. Rival fans coin quadbottle; 4-in-a-row 2nd place jokes dominate.
