Yeah enjoy 10th buddy
Ooh, this is good vibes. That was when they won the PL for the first time after all that oil money got pumped into them.
If this is real he has no class and I'm glad we didn't get him. Hope he flops further
It’s fake, Chelsea fans are just pissed because Kounde actually said that about them.If this is real he has no class and I'm glad we didn't get him. Hope he flops further

They got no shame really
Hopefully CL next year fixes this assuming there is further injection of $ in the squad this summer. Add a PL trophy and I fully expect us to cook next year through most competitions.I said it before but at no stage did we ever put in a decent performance in this competition this season. I get that Arteta is trying to instill a winning mentality at the club and that's great but we are not at the stage where we can seriously go for two competitions simultaneously.
Look at how we approached Europa this season, effectively playing the "B" team and grinding out results - what message does that send to the squad? If we truly took this competition seriously we would be playing our first XI in every match perhaps with 1-2 changes and treat it the same as we would treat the Champions League.
Moreover, if you look at the English teams who have won the EL in recent times, they've had nothing else to play for - when United won it, I'm fairly certain that they finished 6th that season; when Chelsea won it vs us, I believe they were outside the top 4.
As we got into April, having these Thursday / Sunday games are just brutal, had we gone through I have no doubt that it would have taken away from the Premier League, how could it not?
watch our games in europa this season nothing suggest me we winning it we rotate alot and by doing that the team level drop massively and we look clueless. even if we win yesterday we'd go out against Juve next round. Also to compete in europe Arteta will have to approach europe games different than league games he basically asking his squad depth do same job the first 11 does it's almost impossible to replicate because simply they not same quality and ability wise.Would honestly have loved for us to have a go and win an ever elusive Euro trophy and try to make a double of it for the season. The competition this year in the quarters is honestly not that great and we would have had a great chance at winning it. Only Man United would honestly have given us a go with the quality we have, with Juve being outsider but they've been very poor this season.
Ultimately last night was poor both in terms of going out and managing first XI fatigue since everyone ended up playing 120min and lost. We might as well have played our strongest team and taken off players once we had the game secured.
Honestly, I don't even get why playing twice a week would have been such a big deal at this point, we've literally only player twice a week on one occasion this entire year so far. Next season most of the team will be required to play twice a week for most of the season.
