Maybe taking an 18 year old boy from his hometown to live 3 months in London, then 5 months in Strasbourg and then 5 months in Buenos Aires is not such a good idea.
🚨🔵 EXCL: Chelsea reject approaches from clubs around Europe and two from Premier League for Josh Acheampong.
Defender seen as untouchable for the new era under Xabi Alonso, first decision made together between #CFC and new coach.
Acheampong stays, under contract until 2029.
@Garysonfire@fednanen He’s an absolute parasite that works for one of the scummiest gutter rags possible so there’s that along with not understanding the game
OLIVER HOLT: Why it was so sad to see English supporters celebrate Arsenal's Champions League final loss - and what it reveals about modern football fans https://t.co/z0ahV1mcaI
Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.
Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.
Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.
Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.
Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼
Seeing a lot of gleeful mickey-taking from people who you’d imagine would snatch your arm off if you offered their clubs the season Arsenal have just had.
As I trudged away from the Moscow final in the pouring rain, I got a text from an Arsenal work colleague taking the piss.
Now, 14 years later, did I take the moral high ground and commiserate with him?
No, did I bollocks!
Found him on LinkedIn & gave him both barrels.

Idiots like this make a mockery of genuine corruption suspicions e.g Ovrebo
Think Arsenal were actually pretty lucky. Saka handball and Mosquera second yellow both ignored
Just watched the game back. Yeah, the referee needs investigating. I thought some of his decisions were weird at the time, but from the moment he gave us a corner and then decided to blow for half-time, some questions need answering.
Mosquera got booked within a minute of the restart, without a warning. Saka getting booked for winning the ball. Timber being penalised for turning his man. Every 50/50 went against us, he would award PSG a free kick minutes after waving play on for the same tackle against us. As for the Madueke tackle. I’m speechless.
I'm not surprised though when Qatar are in bed with UEFA and they are PSG's sponsor.
@MiguelDelaney Nonsense. Bayern scored 5 past them over 2 legs. They were there to be got at particularly at 1-0 up.
Barca 08-11 were a completely different beast
