Chelsea unlucky with injuries and even more unlucky that the ref and football authorities knew that Arsenal needed a leg up to guarantee the much needed European revenue next season.

Feel for Wolves a bit as well after watching Taylor in action ensuring the above happened.
 
Arsenal committed 2 fouls in the entire game, their first in the 54th minute (so none in the first half) and 2nd in the 58th minute, so 2 in 5 mins and none in the remaining 97 minutes of the game. Chelsea "committed" 9 in the first half alone, and 14 overall.

Interestingly, it put me in mind of another Anthony Taylor game, the 3-1 loss to Chelsea at home, where we led 1-0 at Half-Time, in the 2nd half the foul count was 8 to City, 3 to Chelsea. Interestingly though, not only was Luiz not sent off and we have a stonewall pen turned down in the first half, but once Chelsea equalised on the hour mark, the foul count in the final half hour was 7 by City, 1 by Chelsea. In fact, City gave away 7 fouls for 11 tackles attempted, Chelsea 1 from 15 tackles attempted in that spell, we also had 62% possession and Chelsea made 11 blocks and 5 clearances in that half hour. Oh, and we also had 2 players sent off.
 
I feel the same way. It makes me disillusioned, it just feels so sterile, and soulless. It sounds bad, but a part of me sort of wishes we don't win the Champions League this season. The thought of lifting the trophy, in what should be a huge moment for the club, in an empty stadium, just doesn't sit right. Pep and the players deserve better.
I know what you mean but lifting the trophy in an empty stadium is better than losing it in one.
