Emmanuel Petit on Premier League clubs mocking Arsenal after the final defeat:
🗣️ “I have to say, I found it embarrassing.
The second Arsenal lost, some Premier League clubs couldn't wait to jump on social media and remind everyone about their European trophies.
That tells you everything.
Instead of supporting an English club representing the league on the biggest stage in club football, they were busy celebrating Arsenal's pain.
For me, that's not rivalry. That's insecurity.
Arsenal were 90 minutes away from doing something special, and rather than show respect, people were desperately searching through the history books for old trophies to post online.
Why? Because they were terrified of seeing Arsenal join that club.
Let's be honest, some of these clubs spent the entire season watching Arsenal compete at a level they couldn't reach.
The jealousy was obvious.
The moment Arsenal fell short, they treated it like they had won something themselves.
That's the mentality of people who would rather see Arsenal fail than focus on their own success.
The trophy may have slipped away, but the reaction from some rivals showed exactly how much Arsenal still live rent-free in their heads.”
The Metropolitan Police have confirmed the Arsenal parade today is the largest football parade ever held in England, with an estimated 1.5million people in attendance. 🤯❤️🔥 [@AFCAMDEN]

When Arsenal played attractive football
“Too soft, easily bullied”
Arsenal become physical
“Stoke FC, ruining football”

CL final
Oil club vs organic club
Bought success vs grew success
Franchise player bought for 100m vs franchise player is from the academy.
You might hate Arsenal. But if you love football you should only be rooting for one club in that final.
