Champions League, Europa League & Europa Vauxhall Conference League 25/26

Think I'm done with football if those boring set piece merchants win the PL and CL.

Why don`t you do a google search to find out how many goals they`ve got from open play this season, you might be surprised.
They deserve to be where they are after 35 games in the PL and and 14 unbeaten CL games while shipping just 6 goals.
Meanwhile lay off the salt, it`s not great for your health.

Not an Arsenal fan in the slightest, especially when I tune in to "hear" the stadium once again entirely silent and maybe the occasional "Arse-enal-arse-enal" chant.

But, I really like Declan Rice, Saka, a few others and Arteta.

Arteta in particular - I would love to see a manager who has been given time win something significant. Also, anyone but fecking Man City would do for me

I like some of their individuals. It's just collectively they are dull, and if they're on TV now I will just watch something else.

Have to say I find it bizarre that in a domestic football world where City have won almost everything for a decade - and when they didn't Liverpool won it - that Arsenal aren't being more widely celebrated. They might be weeks away from a Premier League and Champions League double.

I also find it hard to listen to fans and pundits continually spectulating abuot his sacking IF he fails to win either/or. It feels so negative and pessimistic, so desperate for a scandal and story.

I avoid watching wheneve Alan fecking Shearer is on commentary and hearing him growl after every opportunity with meaningless words like
"He surges into the box and should have done better" - thanks for that insight

I personally want to see Arsenal do the double. The more strong teams we have who can match, and sometimes beat, City, the better.

Back in the day whenever an English team got to the final the whole of the country would be on their side but now it`s virtually everyone outside of the Arsenal fanbase that want them to lose.
I don`t get this tribal hatred that come into our game.

Goal in under three mins

[Beaulux]

And what a move

[Pepe the Horseman]

This ref has been fcuking useless.

They explain on BBC how his non-award of that penalty for handball was correct.

Did they explain how the handball by Nuno Mendes was a PSG free kick instead of a second yellow?

[Beaulux]

I’ll have a look

Arsenal will batter them in the final!

It bleeds into the national game too. I am not a fan of any national football team (complicated background and no real affiliation).

Many members of my family are Northern Irish and Irish though, and often will say "It's great Wales made it to the <insert_competition_name> and Scotland too".

They as an objective view, appreciate the home nations being at major tournaments. It's the bitter English that just seem to detest everyone and generally have a real chip on their shoulder.

I thought the ref was good

I used to be all for the British and Irish teams.

Without having really noticed it happening, nowadays I seem to want the team playing the better football with fewer cheating shenanigans to win.

I suppose hence why I rarely find myself wanting Arsenal to win these days - but did on Tuesday.
