Described as ‘the Florence of Northern Europe’ but, unlike how we rebuilt Britain after the war, Germany restored Dresden exactly how it was before it was flattened.

We got Piccadilly Gardens instead of rebuilding the old Manchester Royal Infirmary.

An even more apposite example is Coventry which was also an interesting place pre WW2, and it’s such a dispiriting place now.

What a great result!

I have absolutely no respect for ‘The’ Arsenal. Deluded, weird, hypocritical fanbase and club with a holier than thou attitude that completely ignores their history.

Throughout football history that club has stunk the place out:

Completely unearnt 107 years in the top flight after being voted into the First Division despite only finishing 5th in the Second Division.
Got bank loans to pay for Highbury and their fanbase has the temerity to say they’ve always done it ‘organically’ and moan at clubs with owner investment.
Performance enhancing drugs scandal of the 1920s.
Gave players signing on bonuses to get them to sign for them at a time it was against the rules, these players went on to win 5 league titles in a decade.
Chairman Norris took cuts from transfers Arsenal made for himself, even took money for selling the team bus for himself.
Norris and three other directors banned from football for life.
George Graham bung scandal.
Ray Parlour admitting Arsenal players were paid bonuses in offshore accounts.
Their fans chanting ‘your Dad washes elephants, you Mum is a whore’ towards Adebayor, then losing their shit when he dared to celebrate in front of them because of it.
Wenger always moaning about our owner and spending despite being perfectly happy to accept that very same money when we signed Kolo Clichy Adebayor Nasri and Sagna from them.
Their board writing a letter to the PL on Arsenal letter header paper demanding stricter financial regulations to hinder City.
Arteta telling Pep+Txiki he wasn’t leaving City only to meet with Arsenal at 2am in secret at his house and becoming their manager the next day and not having the guts to tell Pep+Txiki who found out about it when it broke in the press… Pep+Txiki were rightly furious with the shithouse.
Ring leaders in the Spiteful Nine signing that letter to the CAS to demand they upheld our UEFA ban.
Keown moaning about Pep smoking cigars when celebrating City winning trophies as ‘taking it too far’ when Keown karate chopped Van Niistelroy in the back of the head and screamed in his face after he missed a penalty against Arsenal.
Arteta’s antics on the sideline, never in his technical area, kicking balls away, kicking balls onto the pitch, running after opposition wingers and fullbacks to put them off… his awful brand of football with timewasting on an industrial scale and fake head injuries to enforce timeouts.
The MMA that goes on at every set piece that they take and getting away with it… had PIGMOL strings for years and it won them the title this season: United away, Chelsea at home, West Ham away to name but a few where they either wrestle someone to the ground, put people in headlocks, obstruct the keeper, deliberately elbow the corner away or then have a goal scored against them disallowed for the same shit they do and get away with.
Merino escaping a second yellow against Villa, Gabriel escaping a second yellow against Brentford, Gabriel escaping a red card for shoving his head into Haaland’s… they’ve had 7 VAR decisions go for them this season that PIGMOL admitted were wrong, the most in the league.

Fuck these cunts!

Over £1b spent for two Community Shields, one FA Cup and one PIGMOL assisted PL title, with arguably the biggest **** in football (certainly up there with Vinicius Junior) skying the crucial penalty over the bar on their big day out… what a sweet result!

Some bad micro penises there.
 
Justice done , someone needs to inform Gabriel you reap what you sow , what a c*nt of a player , enjoy your title Goons there will be no dynasty just another 22 year wait for your next one , the fact that every football fan i have spoke to from various clubs are delighted they f*cked up the Champs league final confirms how hated their football club really is , boring anti football from a desperate manager and club.
CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE YOU'LL NEVER DO THAT :)

They had much better players than Our Tater has at his disposal. Where's the current Arse version of Bergkamp, Henry, Pires. The old Arse team were streets ahead, in fact, way out of sight of the current law-bending dross. The old Arse would have had the current crop chasing shadows.

I know. And Arsenal fans all seem confused about why everyone hates them and everyone wanted them to lose the title race. The Arsenal team of Henry was literally everyone's second team, because they played classy, entertaining football. They were so good against us one time that even the City fans applauded them. These days, they try to bully and cheat their way to titles and wonder why they're not popular.

Nothing lucky about winning on penalties, it's technique under pressure.

Sorry, but you're not keeping up the universally acknowledged truth in England that penalties are the toss of a coin and can't be practised.

I remember the narrative back in the day that it was pointless to practise penalties because you can't recreate the atmosphere. I also remember some pundit (can't remember who) coming out with the great retort "by that logic, there's no point practising anything."

Saka did pretty much naff all AGAIN - Harlem Globetrotters impression aside - and as for Madueke… stealing a World Cup spot, he’s bang average

Saka managed 4 complete passes in 83 minutes.

The free pass he gets from the UK press is staggering

Can we also dispel a myth whilst the Arsenal fans keep bringing it up.

Penalties are not a lottery or luck, they are skill under pressure. To miss the target twice isn't luck, it's an inability to handle the pressure.

Yep at least make the keeper work
 
Arsenal are the masters at pretending a loss is a win. They'll grow so much, they'll use the loss as fuel to go again. Yawn.

Eze said it was written in the stars...not sure you can read pal.

Rice said they're proud of where they've got to, from a team that finished 2nd but played good football to a team that drops a billion to play Sam Allardyce tactics and had the refs in their pocket.

That was a shocking performance. No desire at all to try and win the game. Set Piece FC losing on pens...Gabriel being the one to miss. The football gods wrote it.
