Message to Arsenal fans: nobody sympathizes with your "plight".   Moreover, you're increasingly coming over as the most precious bunch of self-entitled, whinging. deluded w**kers in English football.  A not insignificant achievement given some of the competition.

He could probaly do it on the moon without oxygen.

Also, a good portioin of those goals would have been so good pretty much no other player in the world could score them.

can you imagine Messi signing for Villa

within a couple of weeks he would be missing training due to faulty gates and then bombed out to some God forsaken place because of his bad attitude and complete loss of form

I dread to think what a side like Man City would do to us while watching them pin Chelsea back in their own third for 45 minutes. They haven’t scored but it’s coming.

Edit: and 40 seconds into the 2nd half it’s 1-0. Inevitable

I could never tire of watching Messi, easily the greatest player I’ve ever seen.

Yes, although Chelsea arrived wanting to be pinned. They have parked the bus, with delicious irony since their last manager invented that phrase. Gary Neville on his third straight match ranting against a team not taking on his nemesis City.

I think if I was a Chelsea supporter and I had travelled all that way in the current circumstances to see them not even try to perform I would be seriously p****d off.

At least the Championship has some interest.

People who visibly disappeared into their own ego: Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Gadafi and Wenger. At least this is only football.

Ergo, another £73 million under FFP and they’ll manage 100%?

I think it's rather simpler than that tin-foil view. He's a football fan that is exasperated when a very expensively assembled team doesn't even try against Man City. Clearly Conte is trying hard for a big pay-off from Chelsea  - witness no shots on target, not bringing Morata on until the 88th minute.

Sorry, Gary’s Mum.  Just one thing: why didn’t he say that about Conte?
