Real Madrid 1-2 Arsenal Player Rating and Match Reaction

[Marc Overmars]

Sorry guys, but I wanted your thoughts.
I was reading a Facebook post from an Arsenal page earlier and there were a few comments on there where some Gooners are worried that the scum will win the Europa League. (A) Because it would piss on our bonfire and (B) it would give them financial help by getting into the Champions League next season. I have to say, it is annoying me a little bit as well

Obviously want Spurs out ASAP but if we won the CL, literally nothing can piss on that bonfire. It’s the pinnacle of club football.

If anything, we could piss on their bonfire and it would actually be the most Spurs thing ever. They finally win a trophy at the same time we win the CL.

Agree with this, plus it would be funny to play them in the Super Cup

I never want Spuds to win anything ever, neither do I ever enjoy us playing them (until after the final whistle if we've won)

The only thing that will be is funny is their being relegated, or even better disbanded and the Toilet Bowl turned into a sewage works

I don’t think any of us want them to win anything, the point is more that if we won the European Cup…I wouldn’t give a shit about their Europa league win (I don’t think they will win it)

Don’t agree about wanting them relegated, the north london derby is a special fixture and wouldn’t be without it (even for a season), same with St Totteringham’s day.

Disappointed that they got through against Frankfurt but I really just don’t think about that club that much.

Hmmmm..... bringing that up has changed my mind., it's probably better they don't win it.

Actually I wouldn't want to face Man U either in a Super Cup final....I am firmly team Bilbao vs Bodo now.

Martinelli - 7 - blind, to put it mildly. 10 is the correct answer. Covered 100 yards up and down all night long and STILL had the juice to put Madrid to bed in the 93rd? That's 10 - not 7. Saka slso 10 - same gig. Those Arsenal boys on the flanks, Madrid had no clue how to deal with that energy. Martinelli and Saka destroyed them.

I didn't think of that
That would be brilliant!
It is the opposite of 2019 when we got to the Europa league final and they got to the CL final. That was the longest week of my life

@hcz, if Spuds went down we'd still have St T's Day, it would just be on the first day of the season

And I hate the NLD, just want to get it over with, plus I don't agree with the whole rivals thing, our rivals are big clubs like Citeh, Liverpool etc, Spuds are an irrelevance, it's only the delusion of their fans and the media that they're a 'big club'

[HCZ_Reborn]

It’s an opinion, I would probably suggest it’s not a widely held one amongst the Arsenal fan base. That and you speak to the old Arsenal legends and they would say how when the fixture list was published that the first fixture they’d look for was the NLD, that and they would teach the young foreign players the importance of the rivalry and local bragging rights.

I think about it in the following way. If I didn’t support Arsenal I wouldn’t give a tuppeny fuck about Spurs one way or the other. I think even if we lose to Spurs or they finish above us one season it’s disappointing but it won’t ultimately matter because I think we will always be the bigger club, and actually it’s a form of flattery that they’ve tried to emulate us and hilarious that they’ve failed.

But beyond the rivalry, I don’t hate them…I consider their existence as a club invaluable because it’s part of what makes Arsenal unique. I feel the same way you do about Spurs about Chelsea, I think they are a scumbag club full of scumbag fans and the last trophy they came about honestly was the Fa cup in 2000.
I’d like to see them and City scattered to the winds and I don’t think football would be any worse off for it.
