You can tell Chelsea have an inferiority complex when it comes to Arsenal. For all those trophies, they still don’t have the biggest fanbase in London, their fans have zero emotional connection to the club and they had barely any history pre-2005 or cultural impact
BREAKING🚨🔴: Thierry Henry on Bruno Fernandes winning the PL player of the season
“People will say I’m being harsh on Bruno Fernandes, but for me the Premier League Player of the Season has to come from players who were truly defining the title race from beginning to end.
Look at Manchester City, they were fighting at the top all season with consistency, pressure, mentality. Then you look at Arsenal, who actually went on to win the league. Week after week they had players stepping up in the biggest moments when the title was on the line.
So when I hear Bruno Fernandes deserves Player of the Season, I ask myself: based on what exactly? Individual numbers alone? Because Manchester United were never seriously in the title race. They were never competing for the Premier League trophy deep into the season.
And this is important even with Arsenal winning the league and City pushing them all the way, no player from either side won the award. That already tells you how difficult the standards are for this trophy.
Bruno is a fantastic footballer, nobody denies that. His creativity, his mentality, his leadership top class. But personally.
I don’t think he deserves it to be fair. If you are going to be crowned the best player in the Premier League, your performances have to translate into a real title challenge or trophies. That’s just how I see football.”
For everyone who suffered through 8-2.
For everyone who half 6 at Stamford Bridge in Wenger’s 1,000th game.
For everyone who suffered through Baku.
For everyone who had to go to school after conceding 10 to Bayern.
Today is for you. Drink it all in. We deserve this.
