Here to talk about Arsenal and the USMNT, mostly to myself

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@TeaKupps The amount of “football won tonight” takes I’ve seen today - when a nation-state backed club wins their 2nd straight UCL after a decade of spending an unlimited amount of money.

The reason regimes engage in sportswashing is bc it clearly works.

@HLTCO Against PSG I’m not sure you get much choice. You could see in the period where we did open it up a bit and they had a few great chances on the counter. I think the plan was correct.

@NorthsideGooner Unfortunately in this sport it’s basically expected

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@AtlienGunner never expected anything else. will be the same story from villa. bournemouth is the only other potential banana skin for them

@jeffers123afc @themagic_tophat @tickets2arsenal i think that is ok, generally, for a VAR to not want to have to override the call on the field. that's part of the directive when you say it is only for "clear and obvious" errors (which this was)

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@YankeeGunner remember a couple of years ago when they forgot to even draw lines? big improvements being made

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@NorthsideGooner iif they outlaw grappling at corners, Gabriel could win the golden boot next season

@JackBaker1311 there is space for a new chelsea - but there was never any demand for chelsea in the first place.

[LE GROVE @LeGrove]

The 'put Myles in midfield' whiners were right.

Well played to those people.

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@AtlienGunner And it worked just like we all hoped. Hopefully it came soon enough to get us over the line.

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@SemperFiArsenal VAR had the biggest impact

[4 under 5 @4under5]

we've been outplayed in this second half and may be lucky to get out with a draw

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@scottjwillis pretty clear case of being bullied by the crowd.

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@scottjwillis handball is the one area where we need *more* subjectivity. ref should be able to consider whether the handball actually stopped anything dangerous, esp w/ replay

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@AtlienGunner What do we do with another 2nd place finish?

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@NorthsideGooner So he’s already at his average season total with at least 7 games left to play?

Not sure this makes the point you are trying to make.

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@DigimonBewbz @TheStarwald same - though i'd guess it's more of "Sanderson does the first rough draft and his team takes it from there"

[4 under 5 @4under5]

@PaddyArsenal You’ve got it right. This trophy has no bearing on the success of our season.

If we win this but lose PL/CL, the season will be a failure.

If we lose this but win PL/CL, the season is a success.
