Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)

[I’m loving my life]

How on earth are arsenal top of the league? Sporting have been all over them. They’re just having a freak season arsenal. Nothing more.

Literally everything has gone for them.

City, Liverpool, Chelsea having massive underperforming seasons.

Tottenham rolling over for them and many other side’s playing really uncharacteristically badly against them (Brighton and Fulham two who spring to mind instantly).

They benefited from still having matches played when the queen died (no police to police games in Manchester)

All this gave them momentum and they played without any other teams really pressuring them.

Not too many injuries

Media frenzy about them and ref unconscious bias

Luckier than Leicester

 

[Rightnr]

This moron

 

[Bogart-er]

Yeah true, Saka, Partey, Odegaard and White, that’s your best 3 players starting on the bench and White who is way better and more reliable than Tomiyasu.

Plus Sporting are a good, well coached team.

And Sporting have been very good too. I have not seen many PL teams beat our press the way they have

 

[PoTMS]

Looks like we have our very own Cheddira.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

hahahahahaha

 

[Tincanalley]

Hahah

 

[calodo2003]

Haven’t screamed as loud as I just did in some time.

 

[Darkhorsez]

Nice!

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Haven’t screamed as loud as I just did in some time.

With joy?

 

[Tincanalley]

Arsenal are having the type of season where even if it goes to penalties, Ramsdale will win them the shootout.

No - penos will feck em

 

[GledTheRed]

Arteta looking permanently hard done by despite being dominated all night.

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Ruben AmorHIM eh

Was my second choice after ETH. Class manager.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Trossard

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

That is it.
They are done.
Luck turning against them.
About time as well.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

haha feck that was close

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Nice!

Sir Jim?

 

[edgecutter]

Close from the arse

 

[top1whoisman]

Our starting XI is a different beast altogether. This is a mish mash of first team and fringe players.

Let's see...

Starting GK - check

Rotation RB (starting RB came on after 8mins)
Starting RCB - check
Starting LCB - check
Starting LB - check

Starting CM - check
Rotation CM who's been starting a lot recently (starting CM came on after 65mins)
Rotation AM

Rotation RW (starting RW came after 65mins)
Starting CF - check
Starting LW - check

Sot not really a mish mash.

 

[Dobba]

No idea how this Viera geezer made it to 99 minutes. Him and Edwards have been battling it out for the worst player on the park all night.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

funny but a bit worrying that Sporting have done nothing yet

 

[Rightnr]

Arsenal better not bottle the league. Every time they have 2 games a week, it's like the world is coming to an end

 

[calodo2003]

With joy?

It was ‘No!!!’ when the Sporting player misplayed the ball back, then hearty laughter at the save / miss.

 

[2 man midfield]

feck sake my internet died so I turned it off on the hour mark. Missed that goal.

 

[cyberman]

Let’s see you now you cnuts

 

[calodo2003]

Why did Odegaard not play in regulation?

 

[Ibi Dreams]

No idea how this Viera geezer made it to 99 minutes. Him and Edwards have been battling it out for the worst player on the park all night.

His name is Vieira so there are vibes

 

[Yorke to Cole]

Can see us getting Roma next

There the team I fear the most. They the reigning conference winners and of course Mourinho.

 

[Bogart-er]

Viera has not impressed in any of the games I've seen so far. Odegaard on for him.

 

[Rightnr]

Arteta looking permanently hard done by despite being dominated all night.

He looks like he should be permanently banned from the sidelines. The prick never stays in his box.

 

[top1whoisman]

Ugarte reminds me a bit of Casemiro. Aggressive and positive in his play.

He was very good in the first half. See a future City player in him.

 

[Dobba]

Worst first touch seen in London since Jack the Ripper.

 

[2 man midfield]

Arteta has been a right billy big bollocks now arsenal are winning

 

[TenonTen]

You just know Mourinho will school Arteta or ETH if they meet in the Europa.


Was watching the Roma Sociedad game and Roma are a bunch of diving, cheating pricks. Almost made me admire how good they were with the blatant shithousery from faking injuries, complaining, physically bullying opponents to Mou and his staff pressurising the refs. Dark Arts of the highest level.


Smalling and Jose have patched up and look very fond of each other these days.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Let’s see you now you cnuts

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Arsenal have had about 5 offsides where there was a foul or handball after the offside

 

[GledTheRed]

No idea how this Viera geezer made it to 99 minutes. Him and Edwards have been battling it out for the worst player on the park all night.

He was 40 million and has hardly been used which is never mentioned.

 

[Bogart-er]

Let's see...

Starting GK - check

Rotation RB (starting RB came on after 8mins)
Starting RCB - check
Starting LCB - check
Starting LB - check

Starting CM - check
Rotation CM who's been starting a lot recently (starting CM came on after 65mins)
Rotation AM

Rotation RW (starting RW came after 65mins)
Starting CF - check
Starting LW - check

Sot not really a mish mash.

You think taking Odegaard, Saka and Partey out doesn't affect the team's flow? In that case let's agree to disagree

 

[chicha14]

Let's see...

Starting GK - check

Rotation RB (starting RB came on after 8mins)
Starting RCB - check
Starting LCB - check
Starting LB - check

Starting CM - check
Rotation CM who's been starting a lot recently (starting CM came on after 65mins)
Rotation AM

Rotation RW (starting RW came after 65mins)
Starting CF - check
Starting LW - check

Sot not really a mish mash.

Sporting missing Morita, starting CM. Also missing Coates, first name on the team sheet and club captain!

 

[Sylar]

Haven’t screamed as loud as I just did in some time.

What happened?

 

[tenpoless]

Let’s see you now you cnuts

seee uuu
