I can’t. I just can’t

I cannot do this again on Sunday. For the next 24 hours I am an enormous Bournemouth fan.

This club wants to kill me. There is no other explanation.

That was absolutely fucking horrible

Sleepwalking here

A really interesting thing about Kai at CF/this set up altogether is that it enables some absolutely insane combinations on the RHS but then absolutely fucking nobody to kick the ball into the goal

Bottled the top 10k - we go again next year

Yup - won’t forget their taunts at our place and them celebrating getting beaten by City on the last day. Lincoln away ole ole

Khusanov is a protected species like the rest of his team then

Yay, Celtic win another title

I don't think there's *actually* a ref conspiracy to gift Celtic the title but if there was one it would look like the last two games

Spot on. Goals are really hard to score and you get a free one because a cross that probably results in a goal <5% of the time otherwise happens to hit an arm.

remember how arsenal weren't challenging for titles and then saliba got in the team they immediately started challenging for titles and then he got injured and they lost the title and then he got fit and they started challenging for everything again

Used the TC on Gabriel because I figured even if City did get the DGW there was a reasonable chance they’d have nothing to play for Turns out they had everything to play for and still rotated massive anyway 🤣 what a game FPL is

Uh oh

The collective rewriting of history from people desperately trying to cope has been something to behold

It’s honestly so predictable

Can anyone else smell piss boiling?

People that think Rice isn’t one of the very very best midfielders in the world need to watch the first and last 20 mins of that half MLS off for Mosquera and apologise to Myles for your fuck up please Mikel

Honestly a fucking joke. Why would Schade fall over there? Ref has bottled it.

Exactly. If I have £5m house and sell it to buy a £6m house I have a net spend of £1m, if you have a £3m house and sell it to buy a £5m house your net spend is £2m. You’re playing catchup with me whilst spending more, whilst I’m still in front yet spending less. Not sure why this logic is ignored

Bodes well for the final 😂 Irony is if it does work out that way they’ll be lauded for ‘saving football’

Apparently if your team mate plays the ball into you it can’t be a penalty - fair play

Is that not just a stonewall handball pen in the CL? And should Mendes not be off?

why zone or man mark when you can all just kinda hang out

Wonder how many times Arsenal will be referenced in the general wankfest discourse around tonight’s game

wow all these arsenal fans celebrating wildly just because they reached a cl final. why can't they behave this morning and silently go about their day like fans of tottenham and chelsea and liverpool and man city and man utd and aston villa and

Do not forget that I love you

Absolutely fucking outstanding from everyone. Gyokeres man of the match for me That was a terrifying defensive performance. I can’t imagine the frustration.

COME ON

Has to be said that so much of the hate for Arsenal comes from the fact that Arsenal has consistently had a good looking team. Other teams and fans won’t admit it but it’s the truth. They’re mad because their teams are ugly. This has been the case for almost three decades now.

They still have to beat Brentford before we play West Ham btw.

Man oh man I would hate to see the narratives if a certain red team turned that in

Forest tried to throw the game but ended up 2-0 and are now bringing the lads on to hold on to it 😂 absolute gift from Chelsea

Unbelievably unprofessional from both Villa and Emery this. Hope it costs them.

This is exactly why Villa are City’s easiest remaining game

Arsenal hooping again now Saka is back? Who’d have thought.

I don’t know why people find it so hard to just accept this is an enormous factor.

1-1 is a good result in isolation but the truth is we’ve been robbed of a famous away win there. Hopefully it doesn’t matter.

What’s the fucking point. Genuinely.

It’s THAT front 3 again but I’m happy with keeping the Eze and Saka powder dry for this one tbh. Trossard right there though

This would give City a very big advantage in the league as well: - Bournemouth would get about 10 days rest if played in GW37, with about 3 days if played in GW36 - City would play their 37th game at home after Arsenal play Burnley and therefore knowing the GD situation from that if relevant

I felt a bit insane during the early-season discussions about Arsenal having 'the best squad' in the league. It was always, so clearly City. And they can simply plug whatever further hole appears every single window with another €50m+ signing with no regard for their financial efficacy whatsoever

His club is saving football one financial doping charge at a time though so there’s that at least

Chelsea fans singing "we want our Chelsea back". What does that even mean? This IS your Chelsea. The Russian doped decade was not reality, it was cheating. You've always been this club otherwise

This is a genuinely shocking stat

It's worth separating absolute from conditional expectations. We weren't favourites going into this season: not defending champions; not highest wage bill; not highest transfer spend; not predicted by many to be in the top 2. Once we had a lead at the top we were expected to win the league.

Their 5 year net transfer spend is lower though

Arteta was right when he said it’s like a new, mini league season. City have to play a game more but that will/should help them with goal difference. Absolutely everything to play for. Nothing in it aside from historic narratives and ‘form’
