Our captain lifted the trophy after our 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, and after the game he told us all about his emotions at becoming only the third player to captain us to Premier League glory, after Tony Adams and Patrick Vieira.

"It feels unreal - hard to put it into words, but just so proud, happy and emotional,” he said afterwards.

"It's a crazy, crazy feeling. Walking up towards the trophy and just realising everything is a mad feeling. I'm just so proud of everyone for the way we did it and everything we've been through, and to finally get over the line just means the world to everyone, so I'm so happy."

It was always going to be a day of unbridled celebration after our status as champions was confirmed on Tuesday night. And the post-match scenes did not disappoint with the away end at Selhurst Park in full-on party mode.

Martin said: “You can't imagine what it's like. We had a great night on Tuesday, together at the training ground.

“And then today to lift the trophy - this is what I've been dreaming about my whole life, to win the Premier League, and to be at this stage is unbelievable."
