I have seen, and read, lots of opinions and comments on the horrendously tragic murder of Henry Nowak, they say it’s a George Floyd moment, a Stephen Lawrence awaking, or many other examples of senseless killings, but what about Lee Rigby?
@SimonLester2468@Footballtweet You only have to watch The Football Terrece on YouTube to see the utterly absurd on line supporters from every club, they use click bait to get viewers and increase the amount of followers each can get. Anyone who follows this, deserve it.
@NormanBrennan What about the teacher from Bately, his life is completely ruined, so one police officer gets misidentified, I am sure the full weight of the establishment will protect him, not so for the teacher.
Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
PSG would not have scored, a 21 year old in his first season pushed to play RB up against one of the best LW in the world, one lapse and a penalty, these are such fine margins. PSG never had another serious attempt on goal. Be proud Arsenal.
@OBG_AFC Absolutely right, seen Chelski fans say London is still blue, Spurs laughing at us whilst they fight for relegation, we are inside all their heads because they know how big we are, we will win that cup.
Arsene Wenger after the game:
We reached the final and gave everything we had, but I cannot help feeling that the game was influenced by more than just the football. There were decisions that went against Arsenal at crucial moments, and from where I stand, two penalty incidents deserved much closer attention, especially the challenge on Saka in the second half.
I am proud of this team. They showed courage, quality, character and the fighting spirit that Arsenal supporters expect. When you lose a Champions League final, it is painful. When key moments leave you with questions, the disappointment is even greater.
Congratulations to PSG on winning the trophy. But I believe Arsenal deserved the opportunity to compete on equal terms until the very end.
To the players: keep your heads high. Great teams are built through moments like this. Use the pain, learn from it, and come back stronger.
COYG ❤️

All the Arsenal and Arteta haters will be out in force now. Well they can all f**k off, the team played their socks off and penalties are always a lottery. I am proud of everyone of them. Next season we will win it. COYG
@charles_watts@Gooner1682 I live in Thailand, we are 6 hours ahead, so the game does not kick off until 23:00 here, going to be a long, anxious day. COYG.
@SimonLester2468 What a well thought out decision, obviously with no bias, just on the merits that he was good at assisting, what more could you ask for, I am sure that future generations will look back and remember those assists.
@SimonLester2468 Great post, even though I now live in Thailand, this season has been getting up in the middle of the night, drained emotionally and physically the next day, listening to the nay sayers, but never not believeing in Arteta and the players. COYG
