Pretty wild to think that Keegan's time was closer to the Fairs Cup win than it is to today's trophy.

I'd have been annoyed in the past if we had finished 5th/6th and not gotten Europa League but now that we win trophies I'm annoyed this is only Conference League. Anyway, we're storming into the CL now anyway.

I love this part of it. I hope he’s here for an incredibly long time, but the weight is lifted. The lack of respect he gets nationally, the overreactions in this thread. None of it matters now. His name is etched in the club’s history forever.

Very interesting. Completely different circumstances but he did the same in the Villa preseason match that was right before we played them in the first game of last season. And then we blitzed them.

Might try to make that sound my new alarm.

Thoroughly outplayed the top two teams in the league in the semifinal and final. Two of the clubs trying to keep us down off the pitch as well. It wouldn’t have mattered how it happened ultimately, but definitely adds to the enjoyment.

So happy for the players as an exclamation point on the first post-takeover era. Thrilled for the manager, who is now deservedly a club legend regardless of what happens from here. And especially happy for all of you and your parents and your kids and your grandparents. Unreal.

Loves Saka, which I can't blame him for. But loves Bruno more than anyone.

Pretty sure my son would fully succumb to becoming an Arsenal supporter if that happened. For that reason it simply can't happen.

Could not care less how we play the rest of this season. I will take ugly, fluky, undeserved, controversial wins and draws. It’s so important we finish as high as possible this season.

Dubs looks annoyed that he had to get up.

Areola, seriously

Every time one of our players messes up on a counter I just assume Isak is thinking about living in Barcelona.

That's always the case. If it's not the first 21 minutes v. Spurs then we are terrible and any player who falls over is out for the season. Bar a little spell in the first half though this is pretty poor.

I feel like the only version of attacking play he's comfortably with is dribbling towards the goal. But when that's not an option (and it's usually not for a fullback) then he greatly struggles with decision making and then, bizarrely, if he does make the right decision he often loses all technical ability in those moments.

3 points just sitting there. West Ham is going to be the reason we don't get CL/Europe if we don't figure something out in the second half.

Final third Tino™

Final third Tino strikes again.

His technique is just bad. Doubt it's changing at age 32.

Tino's final ball is so often terrible. Needs to spend the whole summer working on final third play.

That's a really nice save on replay.

A quick succession of nice things by Bruno.

Damn it, I was like why isn't the lineup out yet.

We should all just agree that all of the following is true and then never talk about this again: On the whole our business since the takeover has been spectacular We put ourselves in a terrible position through some combination of hubris, gambling, poor planning, and bad luck We avoided a points deduction and selling a key player at a discount, but we were forced to sell two young, solid players. This did not help our wage situation and we had to take on a useless player who we'll be paying for for years. It was not the worst (or second) worst case scenario; it was also not good. On the whole our business since the takeover has been spectacular
