If you want to win games like this maybe try to play football. You can MMA and VAR your way to a PL, but when you play the best teams, you need more. Arsenal stink and they deserve nothing. Nice end to the year, on to August!
Imagine being Declan Rice, playing in the biggest game of your life with a chance to win the two biggest club prizes in a single season, walking up to take the kick off and thinking “I’m just gonna pelt this 30ft in the air and see what happens”. 💩

Ten years. 20 trophies. One Pep Guardiola 🩵
But....what a ride it's been. To grow up loving a club through 95% of shit, to have Pep walk in and deliver things that were too unrealistic to even dream about. Feel incredibly lucky as a fan to experience the last decade. It will never be any better than it's been.
When the dust settles, I think it will feel like the right time. Change and new ideas, new younger players is always exciting and you have to rebuild and go again with a new approach.
I get that football is tribal and every set of fans think their players/manager etc are great but.....Pep is the greatest to ever manage a football team in the history of the human race, and nobody will ever come close to him. What a man, what a manager, what a decade. Thank you.
On Arsenal, everything (literally everything) went their way. They still bottled it, miles clear on numerous occasions and it still went down to the penultimate game against a City side miles off it. Congratulations to them, they were better. Now we’ll see how good they are.
City on fumes and ultimately ran out of legs, ideas, luck, everything. Two trophies beats any season I dreamed of as a kid, never mind the last 10+ years. You can’t win them all. Reset and go again!
Mikel Arteta could have waited. For three-and-a-half years he worked under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, learning so much, the ultimate football coaching apprenticeship.
But than wait for years in Manchester, he felt ready, by late 2019, to lead a team of his own — and one team in particular.
And now, as Guardiola prepares to move on, Arteta has built an empire of his own at Arsenal.

@StevenMcinerney Problem is, every time he’s asked the answer has some level of ambiguity! I look at this one and it still smacks of “I’m off” to me at least
