The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that Arsenal men’s manager Mikel Arteta has been given a special ‘Stubble Supremo’ Award after Arsenal won the Premier League on Tuesday evening. Manchester City could only draw with Bournemouth meaning they could not overtake Arsenal’s points tally on the final game of the season on Sunday.

The campaigners say that while Arteta consistently fails the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western test where stubble becomes a proto-beard there is no question that he has finally calibrated his stubble match by match to meet the requirements of the moment.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we have perhaps been guilty of not taking stubble seriously enough, and Mikel Arteta has reminded us that stubble is a perpetual work in progress. He fully deserves his Stubble Supremo Award.
