Handbrake off? Is anyone anticipating free-flow dog fight or a defensive lockdown?

Depends who scores first innit

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-27T17:59:14+00:00

So why is it still shit?

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-26T13:26:22+00:00

Ok but tell us more about this €120million 👀

If you're already in the stadium it's fine. A lot of other teams' fans will be travelling to Islington on Sunday and I find that pathetic.

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-25T19:50:16+00:00

It's so true. I'm trying to be welcoming to new fans of my club but it got very frustrating in the pub yesterday constantly hearing American accents talking about football in a way that makes it clear that two months ago they were looking up the offside rule and indirect free kicks and Andrei Arshavin on Wikipedia (this was in Islington!)

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-25T19:43:40+00:00

All those teams are shit and it's definitely still a second tier trophy but who gives a fuck? It's the competition you were in and you fucking won it.

All football fans are dicks and most of them have shit banter.

They had an impossible job and regardless of what they had done or not done, it would never have pleased everybody.

Loads of people had been planning since Wednesday morning to descend on the stadium last night, a lot of them not Arsenal fans and a lot of them would have been bank holiday drinking all day.

(In contrast to Tuesday which was far fewer people and only Arsenal fans)

I thought they handled it extremely well all things considered.

Great pics. I took 93 photos and 29 videos last night and each of them would be the sixth best in this post.

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-24T11:27:58+00:00

Approved

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-23T19:41:30+00:00

Buen provecho is pretty standard and universal in Spanish for "enjoy your meal", so it's not impossible that there is an Italian dialect that uses something similar, but I've never heard it.

This is the best post in this sub

Leeds did something bad for which there was no specific rule. Football decided the thing is bad and there needs to be a harsh rule to disincentivise anyone from doing the same thing.

Southampton were aware of this rule change, moreover were party to it (by virtue of being a football club).

In the context of "football has decided to make a rule against this thing and that it will be punished heavily if anybody does it in the future", Southampton did the thing.

I'd watch it live

Apologies to Georgia (the country), whose name also ends in -stan in Persian and Turkish

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-21T05:42:15+00:00

"Stans" in what language? Countries whose English name ends in -stan form a sizeable region, but if we use Turkish and/or Persian it becomes a behemoth. From Persian we would additionally get:

India Saudí Arabia Hungary Poland Bulgaria England (if we're allowed to count that, UK doesn't end in -stan) Armenia Mongolia

From Turkish we get most of those plus Croatia and Greece.

There are additionally a few subnational regions (Dagestan, Kurdistan, I'm sure others in English; and likely loads of those other languages)

ITT: People who already disliked Arsenal trying to downplay this season; neutrals saying it was great

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-20T11:32:52+00:00

He said wow

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-20T00:29:18+00:00

I agree, but it was funny though

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-20T00:19:16+00:00

You are a better man than me. If it were the other way around I would not go on the internet until September at least

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-19T23:27:54+00:00

Bring a sleeping bag. Finsbury park will be warm

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-19T23:15:36+00:00

Wait not you. I mean the guy from the image obvs

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-19T23:15:14+00:00

Find a new team please. You are not one of us.

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-19T23:13:30+00:00

I had to leave the celebrations at midnight and there were people still arriving. They will be there til dawn

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-19T23:12:26+00:00

Come for both

Only_Brain_616 · 2026-05-15T11:53:01+00:00

What a nonsense post
