Imagine praying for someone's destruction rather than hoping for the club's first ever Europa League trophy.
If it came down to both losing or both winning—Spurs winning the UCL and Arsenal winning the EL—I'd go for the latter. We're not some suicide bomber who would go bombing everyone, including your own, just because you are consumed with hatred.
Also, I have no idea why some Gooners are acting like the two are inter-related. Ya know, geniuses, by any chance it could occur that Liverpool win the UCL and Arsenal win the EL, or Spurs win the UCL and Chelsea win the EL.
I know. Shock horror, right?
People who're speaking out of their emotions seem to have no consideration over the financial implications of us missing out on a CL berth for a 3rd season running. We could do what Wenger did from 07-12—participate in the UCL, whilst winning no trophies—and still be in a better position than we are currently. We need that UCL berth because Stanley man ain't going to put any of his $$$$$ into our club. It's for the short-term future of the club.
If it did come down to the unique scenario of both European Trophies heading to North London, so be it. I'd rather hope we embarrass the lot in the Supercup.
But then again, Klopp is winning the UCL this time. Third time's the charm. So nada worries.
I echo a similar outlook. However, I do find it ironic that I have often heard criticism of our club on numerous issues for portraying a small club mentality, yet here we are contemplating the very epitome of small time mentality.
Arsenal fans who want to measure our history, character, philosophy and very essence of being a gooner by the failure of Tottenham. Wow. Words I never imagined would ever cross my lips even if aided and abetted by uncle Wray.
That the mentality exists where we would rather lose a final on the proviso that spurs would also lose their more prestigious final is tantamount to self castration to me. If they were to win and we lose to Chelsea is the only worse case scenario to me.
Man Utd went something like thirty years without a title, even enduring the ignominy of relegation. That's why for their fans 1999 was the sweetest year ever seen on a calendar.
Get in your time machine, go back fifteen years or so to the remnants of Maine Road and tell those league one city fans about winning the premier league this year never mind last or the Aguero one as well as being won with 3 different managers.
The best part of being in a position to dish it out is having come from enduring having had to take it.
