๐ดโช Nobody is saying it so I will.
Chelsea finished TENTH and everyone moving on like nothing happened.
Caicedo and Enzo alone โ โฌ237m. Combined. Just two players. And they finished between Brentford and Bournemouth territory.
Even Arteta in his worst year โ Cedric at right back, Holding and Pablo Mari as his first choice centre backs, Ceballos in midfield, Nicolas Pepe still never came close to tenth. Not once.
United finished Fifteenth last season. The press buried them for a week and moved on.
Spurs spent the whole second half of the season looking over their shoulder at the bottom three. Barely survived.
Liverpool threw half a billion at the squad and had nothing to say in the title race when it actually mattered.
But guess who every one is talking about....
Arteta.
The English media has a very specific lens they put on Arsenal. Every trophy comes with a footnote. Every achievement needs an asterisk.
Omo. ๐
The standard they apply to Arsenal has never been the standard they apply to anyone else. And I think a lot of people have just accepted that as normal now.
Arsenal. Champions. UCL Final. All anyone can talk about.
Ah swear, It is not normal. . ๐ค
COYG. Always. ๐ดโช
Went to bed, thinking about the football.
Woke up about five times through the night, thinking about the football.
Got up this morning, thinking about the football.
It's just all consuming.
This season, it's going to be the end of all of us I swear ๐
Piero Hincapie. WOW. Iโm lost for words after that performance.
Heโs an incredible defender, but on top of that the passion and fight he shows on the pitch is the best Iโve ever seen.
He collapsed to the floor at the final whistle and Iโm not surprised. He left everything on that pitch.
Four more of the same please, Piero!๐๐ผ
#Arsenal have 10 wins and a draw in the Champions League, and only conceded five goals. Discipline and organisation is guiding us through a competition in which we have been humbled for years. The team are delivering with stars out and others returning to fitness; back them.
If #Arsenal are 9 clear having played w/o a top class striker (even if Viktor tries his best), with Saka way off form, & skipper Odegaard restricted to 13 starts, it means 2 things:
- Arteta's doing an unbelievable job.
- GK, DF & MF have been exceptional.
The rest is noise.
