I’m not a big fan of Arteta and his football. But I wasn’t a fan of Pep and his football either and all the titles him and City won do get counted, still. So, if we win something – and there is a very good chance now that we will – I will celebrate it as if Mikel is a phenomenon that only happens once in a century.
It’s been 22 years since we last won the Premier League title. As for the Champions League, we have never won it, having played our only final in 2006 losing to Barcelona 2-1 after going down to 10 men in the 18th minute. I was too young to even remember it, and more into cricket that time.
We are 3 games away from the league title – West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Palace (A). All 3 games are winnable. David Moyes did Arteta a favor after Everton limited Man City to a draw and gave us the upper hand. It’s in our hand, we go on and win our games and what City do of theirs won’t even matter.
The harder one of the two trophies is the Champions League. PSG under Enrique has been brilliant and is playing some of the best football right now. They beat Bayern in the semis and I would say they will be the favorites in Budapest. But, hey, it’s a 90 min game and whoever is ready to kill and die on the pitch that day will walk away with the trophy. Whoever wants it more, will decide the outcome.

We are in a wonderful place. We can surely win the league title and we can surely go out and choke PSG in the finals. However, this also means that a couple of bad performances will leave us with no trophy, and the only improvement will be of playing finals instead of semis compared to last season.
If you would have told Mikel and the players that they can win the title by beating West Ham, Palace and Burnley and Champions League by beating PSG at a neutral venue, at the beginning of the season, they would have bite your hand.
Hopefully they would be dreaming of it. The manager, the players because we fans surely are.

West Ham today, they have their own relegation battle so anything can happen. I hope we don’t mess it up but it’s not the time anymore to do speculations, guess what can happen, who will start and what kind of football we play. The only thing that matters is, 11 players on the pitch and a win.
We can do it. We have come close three seasons earlier and we can do it the 4th time. I am keeping my hopes high.

I was just cooking some frog’s legs on the BBQ in the garden…and one of my kids said, dad you old cunt…Jesus has scored
Yeah right…
Saw it now in the replay . Pre-assist by Dowboy
The rest epistle as per KP eagle eyes
Hoopah
Your son in law sounds like a brilliant geezer. 🍺
Are Portuguese teams well followed in Goa or do people mainly follow local and PL teams?
We were Portugal Ultramar ( Overseas ). Our initial exposure was to Benfica and Sporting . Many still follow , definitely the Portugal team over here. Also an antipathy to Spain who are seen as bit unethical. Or maybe it is just loyalty.
Local football is way off . Not much standards or viewership.
Prodigal Havertz coming in. Don’t know why Gabriel too who is a crucial in our defence solidly , The first half defence was adequate for CP actually
Our CL match is crucial now
Imagine if things turn around in the next 45 minutes and hordes of spud fans are crying in their toilet bowl.
Keep the faith. Or as the fake BBQ boy might say, trust the process.
Anyone see that utter spunker in the Arsenal end with a life size cardboard cutout of Arteta? What a fucking wanker.
West Ham ahead. C’mon Everton. Need 2 goals.
KP—are you sure it wasn’t actually Arteta??
Classy by CP fans to applaud Eze. I respect that.
Vieira
😁. It was the lying bastard barbecue version.
i never thought I would say this, but maybe Havertz should just forget about his feet altogether and just use his head…first he scored his greatest header goal ever last week and today he set-up Noni’s goal…of course he has the appendages of a 65 year old former high jumper, so the bar is pretty fucking low
KP—like I said, how can you be certain which is real and which is memorex?
Is Spence part of a Tron reboot marketing campaign?
Spuds acting like they’ve won the title…
What a miserable bunch of losing cunts. Wankers.
