@SkySportsNews PSG returns to the pitch 20 minutes after beating Bayern, to celebrate again with their fans at the away end. Arsenal aren't even allowed to celebrate at their home.
"I do think the celebrations were a little bit too much, it's about winning it"
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on Arsenal's joyous celebrations after winning last night to reach the Champions League final 🎉
😡 "You haven't had fireworks at any of your games because you were a mediocre player in a mid-table team!"
This #AFC fan got personal with Gabby "Agbonla-no-clue" after he questioned the amount the Gunners celebrated making the UCL final! 😳
🚨 Arne Slot: “It hasn’t been hard for me because of criticism, that isn’t what makes this job”.
“What makes it hard is trying to win the next game with so many players unavailable. That is hard”.
@TheAthleticFC Where were these articles when Sir Alex told his players that they were Man United players who played for England and then did similarly? Jamie Redknapp said this close to 2 decades ago and Roy Keane has been vocal about same the past few days.
The Arsenal players who have withdrawn from international duty over the current window:
🇪🇸 Martin Zubimendi
🇪🇨 Piero Hincapie
🏴 Bukayo Saka
🏴 Declan Rice
🏴 Noni Madueke
🏴 Eberechi Eze
🇫🇷 William Saliba
🇧🇷 Gabriel
🇧🇪 Leandro Trossard
🇳🇱 Jurrien Timber

Arsenal and their fans actually believe we don't like them because we fear them.
When Man City won 5 out of 6 Premier League titles, we all respected them. We all feared them. Respect = fear. Not dislike.
When Liverpool won the PL under Klopp and consistently challenged for it, we all largely respected them.
Both of these sides were genuinely good football teams. They were playing free flowing, entertaining football, scoring goals and creating chances while allowing world class individuals to shine.
Man City with players like Agüero, David Silva, KdB, Bernardo, Sterling, Sané, Mahrez, Kompany and then eventually players like Haaland, Rodri, Foden and Alvarez etc.
Liverpool with their unbelievable frontline of Mané, Salah and Firmino with players like TAA, Robertson, Diaz etc. Always playing with 100% intensity, always looking to score one more goal, always looking to entertain the fans.
Again, we all respected these teams and that respect was given because we feared them – and we did so because they were genuinely good teams who played genuinely good football with genuinely good players.
Not a soul respects Arsenal and what they are doing.
They are not playing entertaining football, and in many cases they are literally not playing football at all.
Wasting time, faking injuries, taking forever to restart play – be that from corners, free-kicks, goal kicks whatever. Constantly goes down too easy while looking more like WWE fighters when attacking/defending set-pieces.
They are massively over-reliant on set-piece goals to open up games and all of their set-piece goals happen, not because of beautifully rehearsed variants but because they are allowed to do whatever they want in the box without being penalised for it.
On top of all this, they act in the most unsporting and disgusting manner possible whenever they play. No class at all.
Nobody will look back at this title win (and yes, they will win the title) with admiration in the future. They are literally only winning this title because they are meant to win it.
They will not win it because they deserve to – they will win it because the Premier League has decided they will.
This is why no one actually fears Arsenal. They are objectively not a TOP football team. If they were refereed like any other side in the league, they'd be scrambling for top 5.
Nothing they do is sustainable in the long-run. They have no individual quality to fall back on.
When literally every single person in football is OPENLY practically saying that Arsenal are cheating, boring and getting away with m*rder, it's time to actually look at yourselves and realize that YOU actually are the problem and not everyone else.
🚨 Manchester City are just relentless, no one seriously thought it would remain 1-1 for long did they?
📊 83% chance on they see this game out and keep the pressure on Arsenal.

I have to give a shoutout to @terryflewers who, despite being a ManU fan, runs The Football Terrace on YouTube and is pretty much the only content creator ive certainly come across who has been highlighting this and calling it out for ages now.
I don’t agree with all his takes, naturally, but he’s definitely the most objective non MSM football commentator in the football ecosystem and is making the MSM look like 12 year old playground banter merchants and rightly so.
Go check his channel out if you want proper objective analysis with some fun and banter thrown in where appropriate.
Chelsea's entire culture fuels their arrogance and indiscipline. They give a player who sang a racist song the armband and their centre half has 50 points on his licence... it's no surprise this shower of entitled strutters gets so many red cards trib.al/osc3fZW
@RedVikingWrites@MailSport I gasped when I read the caption. I didn't know it was possible for the media to find time to criticise another club when they spend 24 hours daily slaughtering Arsenal.
@MailSport I always thought, these gutter press only ripped into Arsenal for mundane, irrelevant things. Never thought I will see them tear Chelsea apart, tears in my eyes.
@TheAthleticFC Liverpool have the record for the most consecutive set pieces goals from corners (7) this season. Why doesn't this hypocritical fraud not think before he speaks?
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says most Premier League matches are “no longer a joy to watch” with so many teams so dependent on set pieces.
The Dutchman described it as “the new reality” of top-flight football in England with games increasingly stop-start due to a greater focus on dead ball situations.
“First of all, you have to accept it,” he said. “I think it’s mainly here in the Premier League. It’s the new reality. If I watch other leagues I don’t think there’s so much emphasis on set pieces. If I watch an Eredivisie game, I see goals being disallowed and fouls on goalkeepers being given and I’m like: ‘Wow, that’s a big difference.’
“Here, you can almost hit a goalkeeper in his face and the referee still says: ‘Just go on.’ Do I like it? My football heart doesn’t like it. If you ask me, thinking about football, I think about the Barcelona team from 10 to 15 years ago. Every Sunday evening you were hoping they would play.
“Now, most of the games I see in the Premier League are not for me a joy to watch but it’s always interesting because it’s so competitive and that is what makes this league great because there is so much competitiveness."
