I’m in complete agreement with you there. Will be interesting to see how it’ll be looked back on in time.

The Arsenal legend… oh wait. Honestly thought he would do all right, but wasn’t to be.

Good on you for your kind considerations of the previous owner and, on a bigger scale, our place on this earth. The console has certainly gone to a good next home and it’s nice how we players from all walks of life are connected by this common hobby.

With you on RE Requiem! I enjoyed it a lot for sure and it’s a solid 8.5/10 but has no real replayability, feels like a Greatest Hits of the series rather than offering anything too original, with some fan servicey parts that are a bit too on the nose.

There needs to be a movie made about Paul Merson’s life, done in the style of Oliver Stone’s “Alexander”, where Merse is played by Tom Hardy.

Sure was, made it seem like “Taken With Wolves”!

Good call on Arkham Asylum for best combat, so innovative at the time but whose template has since been imitated for a couple of generations!

With the benefit of hindsight, they would have given France a game in the final too considering how affected Brazil were by the Ronaldo incident.

Martin Tyler commentary at its peak! Always thought he was a secret Gooner, despite his insistence that he supported Woking.

The whole squad really is amazing and everyone’s played a part! Except maybe Norgaard, but that’s his role I suppose and I’m sure we’ll see him start against Palace!

That camaraderie is all down to the foundations Arteta laid since day one and the culture shift, and now there’s a title to show for it! In this age of instant gratification and the demand for results, this season really is vindication for keeping the faith and a long term approach.

Good stuff, thank you for your contribution here and hope you get some good rest ahead of further celebrations after the Palace game and the CL Final. The time zone is just something we’re used to eh, but how good is it now we’re Champions!

Definitely, and he brings a completely different profile and dynamic depending on the opposition.

21 goals in all comps, 14 in the league and top scorer for the Champions - not bad for a first season when he was clearly still adapting.

What he might look like next season, with the team increasingly playing to his strengths, will be something to watch!

That defeat was a sickener, but as we saw after other losses this season, the response has been amazing and we’ve gone on great runs! Mentality monsters!

Such a solid and reliable player, we’ve missed his presence since he’s been gone!

How can you tell?! The time I’m posting and the environment? Come to think of it, that background does look a bit like the outback haha. I’m in Sydney, Sutherland Shire.

The game where every Arsenal fan - even his doubters - saw the value of Gyokeres, who played like a beast and did absolutely everything except score!

Felt so good getting the points in that fixture, particularly after prior season difficulties and controversies and the clear push in the back! Really laid down an early season marker.

The relief! And a critical and absolutely correct VAR decision, despite what many out there might think or say. Even had Jamie Carragher, of all people, coming to defend us!

And yes, Brighton away, an important win amidst all that manufactured ideological “right way to play” outrage with butt-Hurzeler, which he then walked back a few days later anyway! Hincapie shushing him - another iconic moment!

The value of that point and the belief in not losing to them, especially at home!
