    A lot of people really didn't like the blue, though I must admit I barely noticed it

    Yes I know...I guess I go against the grain sometimes.

    Now we have secured Champions League football next year, we now face the elephant in the room, The Ropy League final between the Scum and Manure. I have read lots of various Arsenal groups saying they are not sure who they want to win because they hate both clubs. For me it's easy.... please don't let that lot down the road win it, we will never hear the last of it.

    United win hopefully. They’ve won many cups even during their shit years, so another isn’t going to annoy me.

    Spurs though, ugh. If it was a domestic cup final I wouldn’t care but I certainly don’t want them having European success, especially as we are desperately lacking in this section of the honours list.

    Complete no brainer.
    It's the Carabao Cup of Europe at best but that lot parading round the streets, proclaiming themselves "Champions of Europe"?
    Doesn't bear thinking about.

    Anyone who doesn't want Spuds to lose isn't a real Arsenal fan, period

    They must never win anything, ever

    I don’t think anyone who is an Arsenal fan wants Spurs to win a trophy. How much should anyone care about it especially if it’s an insignificant trophy…well that’s on the individual to decide for themselves


    In terms of individual wins, if a Spurs win benefits us (like the Man United game in 1999, or the Man City game in 2023) I’m all for it. Relying on them for the win though….like relying on pissing into a 90 mile per hour gale and expecting not to get a urine splash back

    Yes, there are obviously individual games when we have to hope they win, as nauseating as that is.
    But winning a trophy? I can't think of any circumstance where I would hope for that. Only possible scenario is them winning a trophy would help us qualify for European competition maybe but even then...no, not worth it.

    Oh no I’m referring to individual league games as opposed to Trophies

    My only point is that when it comes to trophies like the Europa league, it hardly ever occupies my thoughts.

    I want Man United to win but if Spurs win, I’m going to go to bed like normal that night.

    I’m not going to get into long debates online about the impact it has on Arsenal, because the impact it has on us is nil

    As I’ve said repeatedly (and of course I’m only speaking for myself) is that I wasn’t nervous about the 2019 Champions League final because at no point did I think Spurs would win. I was however very edgy about the 2008 and 2012 Champions League finals because Chelsea were more than capable of winning and when Drogba equalised and Robben missed the pel, I was beside myself. And to be honest the whole competition was tarnished for me by them winning it.

    People can and will get as worked up by the Europa league final as they choose, I’m not going to give it any thought

    Frankly after their league showing if they win the thing and want to argue they’ve had a better season than us, let them go for it. The proposition is so utterly absurd that I feel that you’d have to be pretty thin skinned to let it bother you. For Spurs this is their glass ceiling, for United this is a painful reminder of where their current level is
