Mental how little has been made of Chelsea finishing 10th. Not sure it’s registered how insane that is. TENTH! Arteta with Cedric, Holding, Pablo Mari, Ceballos, Pepe etc never sunk that low. Their midfield duo cost a combined €237m alone.
For years, the running joke was “Arsenal 4th”
Then the running joke was “Arsenal 2nd”
Now they’re making fun of Arsenal for winning the Premier League and losing in a Champions League final on pens to the reigning champs
Our rivals’ biggest games this year were watching us 😂
-State funded club
-Controls UEFA
-Regularly breaches FFP regulations
-Can postpone their league matches
-Their starters play less mins than Chiesa and get Ballon D'Or shouts
-Low IQ fans destroy their city and harasses other fanbases
Yep, these lot "saved football"
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.”
I will never forget Tim Cahill trying to tell the world what was happening at Arsenal while people tried to shout over him. He saw it coming before most, you have to respect it. 🫡
@SkySportsPL Make sure in the next press conference, you ask Mikel if he's going to rotate the squad vs Palace. Especially knowing that he has a Champions League final 6 days after becoming a champion in the Premier League. Thanks.
It's getting embarrassing & old from the media. We get it LFC Chelsea United & Spurs are all shit.... tbh I'm sorry they are. But real fans are happy they see progress. Outside noise is just getting old. Semi finals of UCL... Top of the PL idk how ill sleep. #COYG
Mikel Arteta is right.
This negativity comes from the media.
We’ve just made back to back UCL semi finals.
2nd question: "How frustrating was tonight?"
3rd: “How much do you need to improve?”
4th: “What’s it been like with the noise around the club?” https://t.co/OQFYDD3O5r
I hate how Arsenal fans are represented on here but tonight I’m struggling.
Sporting haven’t lost a home game in 15 matches.
Arsenal have NEVER made back to back CL SFs.
Arsenal have gone away without Saka, Timber, Hincapie, Merino, Eze… and won.
Why is anyone moaning?
@Arsene_Bergkamp At the start of the Year I said if Ars win the league cup & fa the media would win move the goal posts & say well ya they won trophies but just these two... I never thought in my wildest dreams they were going to say. Well they only won the PL what a joke lollllll
Rivals are the reason Arsenal games get labelled ‘boring’. They turn up terrified, camped deep in their own box, no ambition, no intent, just damage limitation. They don’t attack because they’re scared stiff that Arsenal would rip them apart. Let’s call it what it is: fear. Pure fear.
@Lfc_samie@UTDTrey For us? You need to worry about Brentford and them. If anything, you need arsenal not to let United get 3 pts so you can be in Ucl next year LOLLLL
People ask how Mikel Arteta survived during the darkness at Arsenal.
They ask why he wasn't sacked like all these other coaches. They do not understand, they want to know how.
Well, listen to him speak and ask yourself if you would ever sack this person from your organization.
Merino scores. @GNev2: “the teams that win the title don't just stop there, they go on and win the game.”
A few moments later....
Gabriel scores. Neville: “Ah no… oh no no no.”
The disappointment is your voice was hilarious 🤣
This is an absolute disgrace.
First of all, the referee is literally a Liverpool fan lmao.
Secondly, Pope touching the ball is irrelevant in this situation. Remember Saliba and Pedro clash of heads pen? Saliba’s head getting a touch on the ball was irrelevant we were told.
