I'm not sure he'll give too much of a fuck about that, he's just qualified for the Champions League (twice over) for the second time in three years, having missed out on goal difference the other year in which we got to the QF and beat the eventual winners at home and came within a gnat's chuff of knocking the cunts out, and has just won a European trophy, having picked up a side fighting relegation when he arrived. I don't think he'll be worrying too much about these details. We've done incredibly well despite our transfer policy, not because of it. We've sacked Monchi and moved him on because, everything we've done, has been despite the fact that last summer our big signing was Guessand (punted to Palace on loan in January), Abraham (swapped for Malen who then went on a massive scoring spree for Roma), and Elliot (not even seen the pitch let alone got on it because of some contractual fuck up). If Emery gets an actual well formed, sensible transfer policy, he'll do even better than he has so far. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about Barnes, but genuinely, whilst i'd be surprised given his profile and age, it's not exactly 'irresponsible' is it?

Jesus Fucking Christ, that looks truly awful, like it's designed by someone who doesn't even understand the basics of the club's visual identity. I wonder what our new shirt looks like. I think I'll google *googles* I'm back

Two things wrong with that clip and one right. 1. Peter Drury - he ruins absolutely every match he commentates on. I pay for Sky Sports but I genuinely look for an international stream to watch purely because they don't have him with his ridiculous over the fucking top screaming players names any time they get within 20 yards of the opposition goal (obviously, that wasn't very often for Arsenal last night, so i kind of understand him screaming his way through their penalties) 2. Modern fans - your team is in a penalty shoot out in the Champions League final and you're fucking filming yourself with your back to it? I understand the 'can't watch' thing (the 2019 play off final, I couldn't watch the last ten minutes, it was so fucking stressful, even though i was actually at Wembley, I went down to the concourse and stared at the wall for ten minutes). However, filming yourself for instagram? Fuck off, and stay fucked off. 3. Arsenal - ha ha ha, cunts.

The only thing i hate almost as much as gloryhunters is non-standard fucking about penalty run-ups. They deserve a double ACL at the point of execution. Run up, kick the ball into the fucking net, or fuck off into the bin, you cunts.

Yeah he looks like he's permanently about to burst into tears.

Just realised - the winners of this get to play us in the Super Cup. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

I hate that carpet-headed cunt so much.

I bet Budapest never thought they'd see something even more reprehensible than Orban so quickly.

Almost as good as a colonic irrigation with Vimto. Heaven.

Lovely seeing you in Istanbul, Toony. When you were haggling with that guy in the bazaar over a Sunderland-Villa half and half scarf, that was so funny.

Ha ha ha, that just made me snort gin and tonic.

The minute Arsenal scored this was going to happen.

We beat these cunts and almost knocked them out full stop. Arsenal absolutely will strangle this match to death, and we're then due a truly unbearable torrent of media love-in, and horrendous online Arsenal twats all fucking summer.

Indeed, plenty of high end restaurants and shops in Birmingham. Peterborough you're surrounded by people with facial tattoos, visible scars, twelve fingers, eyes so close together the right eye is in the left socket, and the left eye in the right, and family trees that look like stumps. On the bright side, if you find yourself in a passport renewal emergency, you're sorted.

Nah, it is ups and downs, you have to accept that it's not a direct diagonal top right line on a graph, you get setbacks. Missing out on CL on goal difference last season was a massive challenge point for us. That made a huge difference in our plans, so we've had to accept that as a knockback. There will be great seasons but there will also be iffy ones. We didn't get what we wanted last year, but on the positive side, we had a run to the CL QF, we beat Bayern and PSG at home (and came within a kick of knocking them out), but if you look in wider terms, the season was a set-back. We - you and us - moan that we're fighting a rigged system, and we genuinely are, we just need to accept that there are going to be setbacks, it's fucking difficult - if not impossible - to do what we are trying to do, and keep our nerve. And I say that as one who has been saying how amazing this season has been, whilst ignoring all the times during it where i wanted to throw myself off a motorway bridge because we'd put together a 7 match run of absolutely Wolves level.
