This ones for the young fans who maybe don't realise quite how special this club is. Worst season since god knows when and we still win a major trophy

Today we were playing against a club with no history and no future. We have both in spades

COYG FOR f***ing EVERRRRRRRR

And even that season in 94/95 we got to a European final to be beaten by nayim from the halfway line. It staggers me how all these people who cant wait to take away our big team status.
They can drone on and on in there own private idaho when the club they support have thousands of hours on the internet like that 1995 sampdoria semi final marking the history of this great club

Amen to that
I love you all!

I agree that perhaps Wenger's last great signing was Arteta given he would be managing Everton now.

Nothing against Wenger and what he did for us, but we all know he stayed too long. I think Arteta will be a long term hire unless Barca or Madrid get in.

Just realised it would be 10 final wins in a row had it not been for the henchoz final.

Let's make it 10 next year to go with the league and Europa double.

It's amazing that Arteta has us playing out from the back just about as well as City do. Always a free man, lots of confidence. As long as Xhaka does not get too involved we don't give the ball away or we do we get it back right away. His progression with the team has been great to watch. In January/Feb we could not get attempts on goal. Now we have a decent defense, a decent midfield and a great front three.

I also like how does not get wed to players based on their "value". M&N as squad player is getting a chance, and the system suits him.

He has to be backed, and with proper players, not the bullshit we had to make do with this season.

As well as the team played, we still faced a weakened Chelsea. No Kante in the squad, injury to Pulisic, and a toothless Giroud up top. Next season they will have Werner, Ziyech and Havertz. United will have Sancho and Jimenez.

Without serious backing, even Auba won't be able to save us from another 5th-8th place finish.

Every day's a tough day for JayRam.

When the player you want to get rid of ........... is one of the best strikers in football.

If that's the sword you've chosen to fall on then be prepared to be called on it.

This is the guy that wanted to drop Auba for Nketiah, credibility is at critical.

In case anyone forgot we just beat two of the top 4 teams (one arguably the greatest team PL has ever seen) to lift this cup.The same squad of players who couldn't win a game for almost two months.

Arteta is doing class on the whole. He'll have less benefit of the doubt when he spends money to get his player of course, but so far he's done exactly what he bangs on about and that's lifting the spirit/belief of these players.
