I’d love to be Joe Pesci right now. Joe Pesci probably isn’t stewing and depressed over a football result he had zero control over but still upset him deeply

I mean, it’s very much Arsenal-specific, let’s not not be dishonest here. People dislike PSG but Arsenal losing is a national celebration to everyone who doesn’t support Arsenal
May 7, 2025 at 11:14 PM
Definitely getting muted until August I think

Trending words on Twitter constitute “funny jokes” now?

Losing a football match against another good team is “bottling”? Is that the case when every team lose then or just Arsenal. As for money spent, I presume the PSG players tonight were all paid for with fairy dust and dreams

And so therefore you are enjoying this and actually your dog is this fight was taking the piss out of Arsenal
May 7, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Was allowed to stay up but sent to bed at full time before the trophy lift. Don’t even that in my memory bank. And yes, that Parma team were incredible

I’ll never forgive the club for gaslighting my 10-year-old self with that Cup Winners Cup win
May 7, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Perhaps not but there’s a reason you’ve chosen to highlight this the way you have
May 7, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Enjoying this, aren’t you?

With the exception of Villarreal (in a season where Arsenal themselves were largely awful) should any of those defeats be considered a shock given the quality of opposition?
May 7, 2025 at 10:01 PM
Meant in the sense that they pulled it out of the bag when all was seemingly lost. Thats what you never see from Arsenal. At 2-0 tonight, we all knew it was done. 2006 was a grind more than fighting back from adversity. The team wasn’t ‘great’ but still heavily Invincibles influenced
May 7, 2025 at 9:56 PM
Even then. Still fell apart in those last 15 minutes in Paris. The football Juju just isn’t there for this club at the most important moments

No shade on Mikel Merino. He’s done a job but is ultimately a midfielder. If he’s starting up front in a must-win Champions League semi-final, there are many, many things that have gone wrong

Gonna have to consider unfollowing for this one sir. (I won’t)
May 7, 2025 at 8:35 PM
Yeah, you’ve won it several times, playing some unforgettable football in the process but also there’s been a lot of suffering
May 6, 2025 at 10:34 PM
Just wish you could be a bit more transparent and clear about how you feel about the CWC!
