Have no idea why it wasn't a penalty against Saka in the 1st half.

Had an age to see it, but hits his hand, which is in an unnatural position. Then the ball hits his other hand.

what day is   Arsenals parade :)

Tomorrow. I was at a gig in Highbury last night. Barriers have already been put up along the route

The garage?

I live one street over from Clissold Park and the parade route.  It’ll still be huge despite today.  All the pubs are sold out.

Number of British teams to win European Cup / Champions League remains at 5. Strange after 44 years no new names have been added.

Obviously 2 other lifted the trophy but they don't count due to financial doping

Arsenal have now lost 5 major European finals in a row. I'd imagine it's painful to lose one European final, never mind five.

Indeed - Madueke grabs the arm of PSG player and drags him down on top of him and TNT et al scream why it isn't a penalty whereas clearly it wasn't. Seem em given - lazy retort.

Saka handballed it 3 times

It’s very weird they’ve never managed it tbh, given the massive advantages they have over say, us, for example.

I'd say they're the biggest club never to win it. Either them or Atlético, anyway. Not sure who would make top five, maybe Sporting, Dynamo Kyiv and some Belgian team, Anderlecht, perhaps.

This game was a pustular excrescence of Artetaism.
Feck him and the horse he rode in on.
And fock the Tarquins, the twats.

It was funny Gabriel missing as he likes to give it the big one.

I am beginning to think that I am the only person who thinks him vastly overrated and dines out on being a  monumental cheat at corners and gets covered by Saliba about 8 times each game for shit positional sense in defence.

Napoli. Definitely.

Well not just Big Cup, they’ve not managed a EUFA/Europa Cup win either. The two European titles they have won no longer exist.

Not sure. Some great teams in the 80s and 20s and the greatest player of all time, but they've only won four league titles. Three fewer than Pro Vercelli.

I reckon Bilbao have a better claim than Napoli. Eight league titles and a frankly ridiculous 25 cups.

Rangers would be up there if you count them as the same club, luckily I don't 🙂
