Obviously buzzing with the point, confirming European football for the first time in our clubs history. I think we really did deserve the win, though. We should’ve gone 2-0 up about 3 separate times in the second half, but the goal that you probably deserved on the balance of play did eventually come.
I was confident of the win for large parts of the game, so it’s a bit of a shame we couldn’t have pushed Liverpool for 5th (I personally think Brentford are going to beat them, so it was definitely on). I think we deserve Champions League, personally, but c'est la vie.
The title wasn’t lost today for you; not to be smarmy, but we are a pretty good team on our day and we’re now unbeaten in 17. It was games like Everton and Spurs that have done you in for the title. If you’d beaten any of those teams from advantageous positions, I stand by my prediction that Arsenal would have bottled it in the end. I don’t even think you played badly at all, tbh, I thought it was a good game against an elite team that was probably running on fumes. There’s really no shame in that.
I’m just a tinpot fan of a tinpot club at the end of the day, but I think you should all take this moment to reflect on what a phenomenal decade you’ve all had. As a neutral, Pep has been a joy to watch (the oddball that he is). Champions League, 6 PL titles, a treble, 4 in a row. How many of you would have thought that would happen 15 years ago?! It doesn’t really get any better than that. I would be very, very surprised if you don’t win another title or CL in the next couple of years.
