Well,we would have to get outplayed by our opponent in the CL final for 85 mins,while they hit the woodwork 3 times,before then scraping a couple of goals to claim a victory,to even come close to their f’kin feats,wouldn’t we!?Jammy twats were nowhere near the best in Europe that year,despite the shite constantly spouted.

you forgot most had turned it off

Man City against Arsenal 'isn't David v Goliath'​

Man City v Arsenal (20:00 BST)

There are some proclaiming this as a Leicester City-esque fairytale from Arsenal.
It ain't.
The recovery from 18 months ago for the Gunners is impressive - don't get me wrong. Bottom after three games with no points and no goals in the 2021-22 season, it is quite something they are now top and have been for most of the season.
But to suggest they have risen from nowhere is perhaps not a narrative we should be tracking. This isn't a David v Goliath. They have invested and spent big.
This season, Arsenal have the fifth-highest net spend in the Premier League (£143.9m). The team they are taking to the wire - Manchester City - have the second lowest at £52.6m.
Over the past 10 years there's only £100m difference between the two clubs in net spending - Manchester City with £767.3m, Arsenal's comes in at £666.1m.
So maybe it's not about financial spending clout, because both have it. It's about using that money wisely. Finding the right combination of players and managers.
City have had that for seven seasons under Pep Guardiola, with the framework in place before he arrived. Arsenal look like they have finally got that system sorted and will want to build on it.
And that shows in my last point - net spend per trophy. Arsenal's is £469.8m, Manchester City a much smaller £23.1m.
Whatever way you want to find and look for stats, this is a big game.
Both will see it as a must win and I can't wait to watch it unfold and will be commentating live on BBC Radio Manchester from 19:00 BST on Wednesday.

It's not what the treble would mean to me and you, it's all about what it means to the journalists and apparently it wouldn't be very good...

We all knew they would do this.

Savour their salt water tears. Bathe in their sullen, brooding rage. Dry off with their heated hypocrisy. Apply a lotion of their jealousy for maximum skin hydration. Spray a bit of their feigned superiority for an intoxicating aroma that shall waft about throughout the day.

I have long said that if we must compare spending between clubs—and I still don’t think we need to do so—net spend per trophy should be used, because it puts the relatively similar outlays in perspective. And it also separates the well run clubs making smart decisions (both in and out of the club) from those being run very poorly (United, Spurs, Everton, now Chelsea and until this season, Arsenal).

We absolutely piss on all the other clubs when you look at net spend per trophy, but analysts and pundits don’t want to use it because it exposes the cash cow clubs for being hugely wasteful and ineffective in comparison.

Well colour me blind. Pretty accurate and fair analysis. This is all we ask, no snide digs about money or seats but a simple reality. Investment is a huge factor in success. Throw in Khaldoon, Txiki, Pep and you have a winning machine.
