So glad it's all over (title)

Its only been a couple of days since Varsenal became champions ,& i've already noticed their fans & ex-pros getting bigheaded. Will they ever learn ,lol ? They're saying they'll now dominate football .
Granted,you won the league ,but you allowed a team going through transition,nowhere near their best ,yet still winning trophies ,to stay right up your arses in the league. Enjoy your moment in the sunshine ,it won't last long .ha!ha!
 
Feel the same. Pissed off with how they won it, but at peace it's over.

Can now just relax and enjoy the day on Sunday without bags of anxiety and checking results of a game we can't control. Sun will be out, beers in shambles will be cold. We can say goodbye to at least two legends and maybe witness to a Wolf of Wall Street style mic drop.
 
VAR/PiGMOL/officials are deciding results now. It's not down to skill, tactics or ability anymore.

The PL and sponsors want the 'drama', the 'spectacle' so as to draw in the fake plastics who don't watch the Brentford vs City games, but will watch City v Arsenal. They don't watch the season long struggle, only the conclusions, the finals.

They don't support the clubs, only the events, but they bring money which in the end is all they want.
Seasons like this are why so many of us support salary caps and spending cap, to bring competitiveness back to football and remove the power of outside influence of sponsors and their money, because they will want their teams to win.

I'll be honest, I haven't enjoyed football for a while, not since the treble season in 2023, and even then it was a struggle. It's just a soulless money pot now but never has it been so blatant that outside influence is deciding outcomes. I'm surprised we even won the domestc double this season to be honest, given everything, which is why it is all the more sweeter.

So many entities have now got a slice of the pie. The game that was once there for us has now been hijacked by others, mainly for money. Their influence has infected all aspects of the game for their own needs, whilst the charade of supporters coming first goes on.

Could easily have seen Arsenal drop points on the last day had we taken them to it; especially as goal difference had essentially turned in our favour after they scraped past Burnley 1-0 at home. Slipped up upteen times this season and looked far from convincing. They fucked up that much we sort of found ourselves in a title race out of nowhere. Added to the the potential 4 years of scar tissue they have on top. Shame we didn't beat Bournemouth and an early goal for ourselves against Villa knowing they had to win their game would have been a real gut check (something I still have real question marks with them over).

Desperate for PSG to crush them now. I'm pretty much on a main stream media blackout currently and would have to continue it for about a month if they somehow fluked the Champions League on top.

Arsenal seem to have disapeared this morning, Villa are now the greatest ever team with the best ever supporters after beating the Dog and Duck reserves in some sort of cup final last night :-)

Haha. I'm not fond of Villa, but they're doing God's work today.

We all know they're far from the best supporters ever. Only the last 5 seasons they've started to fill the place. Happy for Emery though, great manager.

Funny things happen to some players when you ask them to go again next season. the hunger, desire, and willingness
goes out the window, Also it will be somebody else's turn to get help from the officials
 
Considering jacking my ST in.

Football is just crap at the moment. VAR has killed goal celebrations, dodgy decisions, wrestling at corners, faking injury/tactical timeouts, players having to defend with their hands behind their back. I could go on.

righty-oh,
i'm up for trying to post the worst analogy ever...



it's been like chasing a beautiful lass for 2 years.
you really want her but she's just out of your reach.
and all her mates are saying/doing snide things behind your back.

you knew she'd be out and about on sunday,
and you thought maybe you had one last chance,
but yesterday you heard she's seeing some ugly cockney.

truth is, it doesn't matter,
glad to see the back of her,
because you'll be taking a stunning double with you,
one beauty on each arm.
so she can fuck right off.
and next year she'll be begging you for a shag.


how bad is that? hahaha

Thought it was This Is Your Life.
 
Well said Ancoats. It had repercussions beyond us - because pigmob helped arsenal it meant West Ham were deprived of a valuable point - had they got it then a win on Sunday would mean spurs need a win rather than a point to stay up. That “let’s fuck City, help arsewipes” action could have an astronomical impact on the Hammers
 
We should celebrate the improvement this season, two shiny trophies is a decent return considering the churn in the squad, Tkki’s departure and rumours of Pep going next week. I think the club is set well for the future, but I doubt we will win as many trophies as in the Pep years. In the short term, if we lose Stone, Silva and Rodri this summer, we really need to get World-class replacements. The North Stand looks great, but the defence and midfield need a bigger reconstruction than the North Stand.

But did VARsanal DESERVE to win it? No.

We can't really argue if a team wins more points than we do, and finishes top of the pile ....... five games ago they had been dragged back to a level league points situation with us, they appeared despondent, and it really was OUR big chance .... but the simple truth is that they have handled those five games better than we have, even if they haven't really been all that convincing .... so i don't really have any complaints.

Emery now has 5 Europa Leagues all with teams that contain the word Villa! Quality Pub Quiz question.
