George Graham was calling out the media’s anti-Arsenal bias back in 1990/91. Three decades later, the headlines, narratives and double standards look exactly the same! Some things never change 🤷♂️
“Your EPL win is not all that because even Leicester has won it”
“It’s a PGMOL title”
But you were on the verge of sacrificing your family members so Arsenal don’t win it. 😂
You too your UCL is irrelevant because Nottingham Forest have won it. You must be very stupid. Dunces.
@bry1050@talkSPORT So teams don't maximize their strengths and neutralize other teams weaknesses? Do all teams have the same strengths? Do all teams compete with the same tactics and style of play? Is this what football discourse has come to?
@thecityshack@talkSPORT Done what? Showed trophys after another team lost a final? Official handles? Which trophies? FA cups? Don't tweet you think mate
From @TheAthleticFC: Shirt sales for Arsenal defender Gabriel increased by 350% after the centerback missed a crucial penalty in his side’s Champions League final defeat on Saturday. https://t.co/KIAQg9zhMm
🚨🎙️Wayne Rooney: “Arsenal have been robbed tonight” 🤯
Rooney 🗣️ “I’ll be completely honest, Arsenal were absolutely robbed tonight, there is no other way to put it. You look at that foul on Noni Madueke in the box; it’s a stonewall, 100% clear penalty. How the referee or VAR hasn't given that is beyond me, and it completely changes the dynamic of a Champions League final.
But for me, the moment that truly gave it away the moment you knew exactly what the referee was doing was that halftime whistle. To blow the whistle right as Arsenal are literally standing there about to take a corner? I’ve played this game a long time, and you rarely see that unless there’s a blatant bias. It was shocking, and it set the tone for everything that followed.
In the second half, it became a totally different game, and not because of the football. The referee made absolutely sure that every single 50/50 call, every little nudge, and every major decision went straight to PSG. It completely killed Arsenal’s momentum. But to be fair, I’m not even surprised. We saw the exact same story when they played Bayern Munich earlier in the tournament. The officiating was heavily skewed then, and it’s happened again on the biggest stage.
PSG might be lifting the trophy, but they cannot honestly look at themselves in the mirror and be proud of the way they’ve won this final. To win the biggest prize in club football like that? It leaves a horrible taste. Arsenal deserved so much more tonight.”
People are genuinely so weird about football sometimes. You know who this Arsenal team are, what their strengths are, how they play and *FANS* are crying about how we set up against the best team in the world - who are ten times fresher than we are.
