I consider myself quite an introvert. And yet, all my social anxieties went away inside the Emirates last night. I’ve never experienced support like that, and never before felt comfortable enough to shout and cheer with everyone else for 90 minutes straight. It was magic🔴⚪️❤️

@REDactionAFC Dowman takes it but honourable mention for Havertz v Burnley, incredible scenes

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

What’s the issue here? Being played in completely different time zones to Brazil… isn’t this also part of the fun?

Exactly double the amount of games as Mexico '86, so again, what is the problem/alternative?

[Martyn Ziegler @martynziegler]

Tears at bedtime: 40% of World Cup matches (42 games) kick off after midnight UK time.
In 1994 only 11 games did (20%) and zero in Brazil 2014 and Mexico '86.

Also: FIFA spending $$$ on flying 600 officials from Mexico to Miami for a summit at 5* hotel

Totally agree - there was a point in 2010 when you were glad to see more than one goal in a game.

And England v Algeria remains one of the worst matches I’ve ever endured😅

[Grace Robertson 🏳️‍⚧️ @GraceOnFootball]

you've all been spoiled in terms of quality of football with the last three. go back to 2010 and see some stinkers of games.

This is why other teams hate us, what an insufferable fanbase💜💜

🚨 Since his penalty miss in the #UCL final, Arsenal supporters have made Gabriel the top-selling shirt name at the club.

His printed name is up 350% since Saturday’s final. At one stage he was outselling any other name x2.

Relieved to know I’m on the right side of this. Just no need to even think of *them* today🚮

[REDaction Gooners @REDactionAFC]

Unpopular opinion:

everyone welcome and all that, but ‘WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TOTTENHAM??’ just marks you out as a total rookie / League Cup merchant

Sorry / Not sorry

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

Just an excuse to say the word shit out loud in public

[B @Mishimaesque]

The biggest casual you know was at the Arsenal parade going “what do we think of Tottenham” at every available opportunity while knowing none of the other chants.

[Ilyaz 🏆 @AomineReborn]

I never in my life want to hear the what do you think of tottenham chant I acc despise it at this point

[NS @NSftbl]

Class time at the parade but I had some really dark thoughts in my head after the 57th “what do you think of tottenham” chant started

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

Like, yes, they’re shite. Now let’s move on.

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

Unpopular opinion: It’s time to retire the “What do you think of Tottenham?” chant🚮

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

To the parade🏆

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

I knew I’d find a glaring error in the match programme…

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

I’m sorry, I just can’t imagine Aleksander Ceferin calling the CL trophy “Ol’ Big Ears”

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

Revealed: Referees in didn’t-get-everything-right shocker

(Cool piece, tbf)

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

REVEALED!
Every Premier League VAR and refereeing error this season

🟥 Arsenal escaped 3 red cards and 3 penalties - actually received 0
✅ Gunners & Chelsea benefit from most ref mistakes
❌ Leeds the ONLY club not to gain from a referee or VAR error

@laythy29 @FlixBus FlixBus definitely a rogue shout for Player of the Season, always turns up away from home in Europe😅 Enjoy Budapest, COYG!🙌🏼

Also, never underestimate the appeal of a smaller, sold-out ground. I’m certain those inside the Ullevaal Stadion tonight will have the best time.

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

It’s UWCL final day and I’m gutted not to be there supporting The Arsenal. Been some negativity re the location from the *players*, which is crazy and a little tone-deaf.

We’d have done anything to be there! Norway, of all places, is a fine destination for a major women’s final

[Stephan Georgiou @StephG_211]

@laythy29 Exactly the point I made on my podcast - Özil was unplayable and being tipped for the Ballon d’Or before our title bid (and his assists) fizzled out. Luckily for Bruno, United stunk out the PL well before Christmas as opposed to mid-March.
