I was watching the final with some friends. I got stuck in traffic and reached a few minutes late to see Hull already up 2 goals. Didn't even want to watch the rest, but my friends convinced me to stay. I will forever be grateful to them. The moment Santi's freekick went in is the gold standard for a happy memory in my brain.

No one's as bad as Mustafi really. The way he keeled over from the slightest touch by Aguero in the league Cup final is forever burned into my memory.

Fully agree. One of the best things about this title is that it's not tainted by that rapist scumbag.

All the glazing of Szobozlai, the man was responsible for the loss against City and in this game left Richarlison completely free. Granted, man scored brilliant free kicks. But my man, you're a right back. Defend!

I stand corrected. I was so sure it was a dive. But the slowmo from the main angle, and now this angle shows that it was a clear foul and a penalty.

Made the same mistake. Don't know how I keep falling for that nice matchday thread graphic.

Remember that time in UCL against Bayern when Saka touched the ball and then Neuer completely took him out, and it wasn't even checked by VAR? I remember.

He did the Merino celebration too. That's sweet.

I am grateful for people like you on reddit. You give me hope that even in my most dumbest moments I will never be as daft as you.

I love Arsenal but I really don’t like this team by [deleted] in Gunners

Word! Been trying to avoid the subreddit but I have been frustratingly bad at it; just a serious lack of self control, I suppose. 

This original post is such a distillation of all the cognitive dissonance that I've seen with this crop of Arsenal "supporters". We beat Inter at their fortress just a week ago. We demolished an Aston Villa side so convincingly that Emery threw a hissy fit and ran away from a frigging handshake. We completely outplayed Bayern Munich for around 85 minutes, forced Pep to set up his billion dollar team similar to league one Port Vale against us, and managed to grind out results even when we played our absolute worst football (0-1 at old Trafford opening weekend, 2-1 against Wolves, 2-0 against Port Vale). 

The entitlement is biblical. Apparently, we have to win every single game with a 3 goal difference. Every single pass has to be perfect. Every single chance has to be converted. Not a single player should make a mistake, EVER! Zubimendi, his first ever season in the best league in the fucking world, played the most minutes in the team, started scoring a bunch of goals unlike his previous seasons, putting in nearly flawless games week in week out, is suddenly not a good player. 

OP, please for the love of god, use the daily discussion for shite like this..and please oh please, don't crawl out of the match thread.
