My brother still uses "shut up Sven" in conversations. I miss special 1 tv with the little Ronnie puppet.
"I get the baaaall, I score the goalllls, celebrate with teammmm but not with Scholes."
"You two schtill not getting along?"
"No."

 

Sorry haha, I read the first line of your post about the prem being hard to watch once upon a time and went straight to the comment section.

Beautiful post. Rep.

 

my favorite was "David from Essex" calling in and Sven going nuts

 

Talking about Ameobi

 

That too!

 

Cock n Bull, Ye Olde Kings Head and Fox and Hounds in LA

 

Went to Pig n Whistle in NYC on business and saw us beat Real Madrid 1-0 in first leg back in 2006

 

Depressing times at the Cock n Bull man, 4:30am I used to live down the street smh

 

wasn’t 18 yet the first time I went to Kings Head, Arsenal Chelsea FA Cup when we lost to Drogba’s knee, 1-0. The most fluke goal at the time.

Then I turned 18, got a fake ID and started going all the time

This was a couple years later when Rick B brought the FA Cup for us to see.

 

With some of the crew, London 2010

 

To paraphrase the Geto Boys: Damn it feels good to be a Champion.

 

Day by day it's more impossible to cope, 22 years I felt like im the one that's doin' dope

 

Thinking about the match, Palace have nothing to play for so you would assume their players will not go steaming into any 50/50's, risking injury to Arsenal players. At the same time, Raya lands funny and tweaks his knee and that's a disaster for the CL final. I think they need to heavily rotate.

Kepa
Salmon - Norgaard - Saliba/Gabriel - Hincapie
Zubimendi - MLS
Madueke - Dowman - Martinelli
Havertz/Gyokeres

Play Havertz and Gyokeres each 45m and tell them to go earn a start in the final (although I believe who finishes the game is more important that who starts if it goes to penalties).

 

Lord, it's such a balancing act to deal with.

On the one hand, you wanna keep everyone fresh for a potentially grueling final which could go 120 minutes plus penalties. OTOH, you don't want to have your ideal first XI in a meaningless game, one or a few pull up limp and then threaten your plans for the final.

 

Woke up today, and realized, yes, Champions. Sensational

 

Oliver Glasner: "I want to congratulate Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, his players & staff for winning the title after 22 years. It's a fantastic job he's done.

"A special congratulations to Eberechi Eze, he made the right decision to go to Arsenal & not another club."
