The Gunners, needing just a point to be crowned champions, let slip a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at White Hart Lane, but it mattered little to their jubilant players.
Vieira led the celebrations as the squad demonstrated the one-for-all attitude which has seen them go 34 league games unbeaten, but said Arsenal's third Permiership title under Arsene Wenger was only the start of something special.
'The club is getting bigger every year and our targets are getting bigger every year,' he said.
Managing to focus on the scale of his side's current achievement, the Frenchman, scorer of Arsenal's first, added: 'The team spirit among the lads is fantastic.
'In the end I think we deserved to win the league because we played so well throughout the season.
'We enjoy ourselves on pitch, in training and outside - and we work really hard.
'It's been a long season and it's still not finished - but we are really happy now because we wanted to do it today.'
Leading goalscorer Thierry Henry, who has netted 29 goals in the league this season, told Sky Sports the title success was all the sweeter for having come in their neighbours' back yard.
He said: 'We knew it would be amazing to win the title today - and to be honest we should have won here, we hit the bar and I missed an easy chance.
'We wanted to win title here and now we've done it. It's about desire, we are all winners and competitors.
'There are four more games to go and we will see what we can do now.'
Highbury boss Arsene Wenger - the first Arsenal manager to win three league titles, said his job was to focus his players' attention on maintaining their unbeaten record for the entire season - a feat never achieved in the modern English game.
He said: 'We have won the championship two times and the FA Cup two times in the last three years and I am very proud of those achievements.
'We have improved every year but this one has been fantastic. I'd like to thank the whole staff, the tremendous players and the marvellous fans.
'It has been a great season. Now we must try to keep it going until it ends.
'We are close to remaining unbeaten throughout the season. Do we switch off or not, keep the concentration going?
'My target would be not to switch off, to try to achieve something and to keep it going.'
Wenger was asked when he knew the championship was won.
'That was when we came back from 2-1 down at half-time against Liverpool. We were mentally down after losing to Chelsea [in the Champions League]. To find the resources after half-time against Liverpool was tremendous. After that I thought we would win it.'
and now for my fav player :D
Thierry Henry became the first man to retain the PFA Player of the Year Award when he was confirmed as the winner at a London ceremony on Sunday.

The announcement capped a perfect day for the France striker, whose Arsenal side secured the Premiership title earlier with a 2-2 draw at the home of fierce local rivals Tottenham.
Last year's winner, who has scored 29 goals in 33 league games this season, won the majority of his fellow professionals' votes.
'I am quite lucky to play in a special team. The strikers grab the headlines but I have special players around me,' said Henry.
'We play as a team and we are willing to fight for each other, and you need that ability.
'It's like we are a family, willing to do things together and fight for it.'
Henry became only the third player to win two senior PFA accolades - after Mark Hughes and Alan Shearer.
Last year he collected the award after a 2-2 draw at Bolton had effectively ended Arsenal's championship hopes.
'This is different to last season because I came here after we drew at Bolton, but now I can enjoy it better because we have won the league,' he said.
At one point in the season, Arsenal were on course to add the FA Cup and Champions League trophy to the title, but Henry is happy enough with the one trophy.
'Some people will say that it's disappointing to have won only the league this season, but I can tell you I am more than happy.'
