Ok so league wrapped. It’s time to start talking my shit, let’s start with the most important one: Bukayo Saka WORLD CLASS status confirmed. For like the 4th time in his career. Top 3 players for his club and country for the last 5 years and he’s only 24. Arsenal legend
Sky and Opta confirm that the ball was in play longer in that second half than any other game so far this season.
And they found nine minutes of added time, in which City scored in the eighth.
Just as my blood pressure was dropping...
