    Gotta say I thought Kante was finished. He’s been an incredible player and deserves his place among the immortals of English football, alongside the likes of Henry, Scholes & Lampard.

    I also got something right though, I knew Havertz would find his feet eventually. He’s gonna be some player that lad, for years to come.

    Congrats Chelsea.

    Congrats Chelsea. The media reaction is amusing I'm pretty sure they had all written up their Man City CL triumph pieces before the game and were all looking forward to going out on the piss after the game.

    I couldn't help but notice they were trying to paint man City as some great underdog that's risen up from the 3rd tier by a miracle rather than 2 billion

    Couldn't agree more with kante. Hes getting on a bit and been suffering a bit of a dip the last couple of seasons and suffering more regular injuries.

    Since hes been allowed to recover not being played as an attacking midfielder hes been excellent again and its been great to see him shutting midfields down again

    the Talkshite City ****athon pre match certainly went on about their journey from 3rd tier to CL final, but there was no mention of the billions spent by their owners illegally to get them to that point.

    I would rather my club wasn’t owned by Stan, but you can never say that Arsenal have bought any of their success as he has never shelled out in comparison to City or Chavs or Pool or United - and that’s the real reason why we haven’t won the title since 2004 is because we don’t spend billions on our players.
    mind you United have spent loads to win **** all recently

    actually they hardly mentioned Chavs as they were so preoccupied in talking up Pep as the greatest manager of all time*


    *greatest manager in 2 horse league in Spain and 1 horse league in Germany, and FFP evader in PL

    Oooft! If only, it would be nice if the Glazers spent any money.

    I think there's many reasons the gooners haven't won the league in that time. Leicester have managed it at least. And money is certainly not the reason you can't finish in the top 4.

    It's a hard life innit!

    Considering they live in caves somewhere in the nevada desert chopping up the occasional family passing through in their station wagons, I do wonder what they need it all for.
