"If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too. Football fans everywhere are suffering Arsenal’s consequences. They are like a company that spews pollution into the environment in their production process, privatising the profits and socialising the costs. To them, dumping toxic sludge into the river is just free waste disposal. It’s the rest of us who get a headache when we drink the tap water" https://t.co/PHpC1FRgv7
I honestly believe loads of people wouldn’t dislike Arsenal if they played good football - but as a neutral it’s hard to root for a team that launches bombs to their front man, adopts timewasting tactics and puts 11 men behind the ball.
They didn’t even TRY to play football tonight for 97% of the game.
Some of my favourite Prem players of all time have played for Arsenal - Cazorla, Bergkamp etc.
But I’m sorry, that was a little bit like watching Wrexham or Swindon 🤢
Best team won the trophy
This was abhorrent by Arsenal and one of the most disgusting Champions League finals I ever watched. If this is the future for Premier League winners, then we better abandon this sport and go watch golf.
🚨🗣️ Vitinha: "You have to be very patient against teams like this, especially as Arsenal were leading at one point."
"It's difficult; Arsenal waste a LOT OF TIME at every opportunity: goal kicks, free kicks..."
"Apart from that, they play with LOW BLOCK... It's difficult. You have to be very patient."
at least there's some football justice tonight when a team built on corner fouls, long throws and using every dirty trick in the book on the pitch loses.
Oh and a seemingly delusional fanbase that actually think refereeing decisions go against them (lol)..
