    Well, trophy parade today. Could have been more, but it is what it is. Hope tons of people show up to see our PL champions and celebrate with them.

      Oh there will be, I just hope the team won’t be as bummed out or feel like they disappointed us.

    The worst part about this is I feel like we played better than them by miles. Wasn’t pretty sure but we would’ve won with a bit of luck.

      I didn’t think we deserved to lose, that’s for sure.

      That team decimated most they played against. They couldn’t break us down at all really and the goal they got came from a penalty. They won because we beat ourselves again in the penalty shootout.

      Then we have the question of a corner we should have gotten and I have to be honest; for me, that was the point I realised we may struggle to win and where once again we were robbed. I don’t need to ramble on about how much that corner is worth, with our ability on corner kicks, at 2-0 up before half time. The Madueke penalty possibly, yeah but Saka could legit have been called for handball too.

      It stings, we get few shots at these and we’ve either dropped the ball or have been robbed every time. For non supporters and pundits it’s an identifiable bar preventing us from being a prestigious club and until we win it, that will remain despite reality or what we think.

    I have a feeling that there will be an Arsenal-PSG rivalry developing over the next few years. We’re not done, and neither are they.

    I went to an Arsenal bar for the game yesterday and it was at capacity an hour before kickoff. Had to drive to another sports bar that was about half Arsenal half PSG (Texas btw). Goodness I had such a good time. I swear I’ve never had more fun watching a match. I hope folks get over the loss quickly because we deserve to enjoy winning the league.

      It’s hard to. I’m still hurting. That’s the one I want, not the league so much.

      We will never be considered in the top tier clubs until we win it. It remains a bar between us and the others.

    I see Tomi is key to Japan’s set pieces then… almost scored one with Kubo’s free kick in the friendly with Iceland.

    Man if it was three or four years ago I would’ve loved to see Kubo that crazy guy in red and white.
