Happy Friday to you ALL.
David Luiz is out at Arsenal.
A good leader at times.
An inspiration to a generation of Arsenal kids who saw him as a mentor and a legend.
The absolute correct decision for Arsenal FC as we head into a big summer rebuild.
I don’t want to bag on the player, but the reality is for all his big game skill, he was mistake-prone, unfocused, and problematic if he wasn’t getting exactly what he wanted.
Moving him on is a big move for Edu and Arteta. It’s the first break on the grip that Kia has had on the two of them. It opens up a space for someone like Saliba. It allows us to start addressing the ‘unforced error’ table he’s had a massive had in over the past two years.
This move was also correct from an injury perspective. Arsenal lost Luiz at the most important part of the season, we got him back, then lost him right after. Big players need to be fit. Luiz is on the back 9 of his career, he’s not getting fitter or faster.
I am very, very happy. This sets the tone for the summer providing we don’t walk right back into another hellish deal for some other older player looking for a retirement deal.
There are lots of rumours bubbling around. I think we’ll move on Bertrand as cover for Tierney, we’ll sign a right-back, we’ll look at a good central midfielder or two, and I suspect we’ll find competition for ESR for that #10 spot.
We need to move on the players that have baggage with Arsenal.
We need to age down the squad.
We need to find players with big personalities that want to grow with one of the most exciting young crops of players in Europe.
This summer could be exciting, we just have to trust our novice leadership team actually learned the lessons of the last 18 months.
Big, big if… but this is a great start.
In other news, how awesome is the new Arsenal kit? Literally the best part of the season is the new shirt.
Right, a quick one today, see you in the comments.

”Chelsea will lose this and the champions league and Tuchel will last 3 months next season. And I’m telling you for £5″
I’ll take Sid’s offer, he gives them for free
Hope the Filberts dig in and we see some teary rent boys at the end. That’ll make my afternoon.

You are merely voicing out the impression created in your mind of those leaders by the BBC, Guardian, CNN and New York Times.
My choice would be Leicester to win the FAC and Chelsea the CL. Not that I like Chelsea but I can’t stand City and their blood money owners.
Dumb by Chelsea giving Tielmans room and time to shoot on his lethal right foot
Chelsea’s kit is a fucking horrorshow. Adidas strips always been more pleasing on the eye than Nike ones.

“v\\Tuchel needs to move Jorginho to LB to save this game for Chelsea, surely.”
No, he needs to make his number 9 a secret agent and have them cross lots of balls to that position. That should confuse the opposition enough to panic them into making a horrible back pass.
Juve in deep shit here, Inter just equalised with 5 mins left and they are already down to 10 men.
Means that Napoli only have to win one of their last 2 matches and no CL Football for Juve or Ronaldo next season.
TR7, I would imagine Kroenkephobe simply had to listen as their words from their own mouths condemned them, no need for any ‘spin’. Love the idea that most of the media are lefties though, so patently untrue that it’s hilarious.
Haha, just as I write that they get a penalty.
No Ronaldo on the pitch to take it.
Ha ha no wonder they are desperate for the ESL
Wouldn’t surprise me to see Brendan at the Spuds if he wins the FAC. Easier to leave Leicester having won a trophy.
See how a proper manager reacts to needing to score
He’s not subbing in a sterile midfielder when he’s chasing a game.
Shame Chelsea can’t bring Willian on…looool.

In the last few weeks of March, daily no of cases in India had dropped to merely 10K or about. The second wave turnout to be much more virulent and it spread real fast catching most of the people and health officials by surprise. Within a few weeks the reported no cases jumped from 10K to 400K, absolutely unprecedented jump.
TR7
Fucking bollocks. That’s not even close to being a valid argument. Do you seriously believe that those three did not have a massive detrimental effect on the management of the pandemic in their countries? What fucking world do you swivel eyed loons live in? You choose to ignore all those experts that have made a clear causal link. Pull your head out of your arse and stop lying.
Andy you’re crazy Chelsea to win another CL and be they will be the biggest team in London. That can’t happen and never should. Both owners are not squeaky clean btw. But id rather City win. Chelsea fans will not stop going on about their win.a
Juve somehow managed to shithouse their way to 3 points, you just know that Napoli will choke it now tomorrow.
Brenda has lost his mind
Wes Morgan?
He will probably give away a penalty
Why not wait for the last minute of added time to bring him on?
Samesong, on the other hand the chavs already have a CL title, the fewer English clubs that win one before AFC the better for me. We’d still be way ahead of them on the trophy count anyway.
Not sure Wes Morgan is the way to go if the game goes to extra time.
Hope Leicester can hold on here
Kasa, was thinking that, looks very unfit.
Vardy looks a step or two slower, was bound to happen eventually given his age.
We’d still be way ahead of them on the trophy count anyway
I know so many arrogant Chelsea fans and don’t know any city fans so I don’t mind City winning it.
Is that Peter Schmeichel in goal 😳
That could be a match winning save
Schmeichel is a fucking brilliant keeper, almost as good as his old lad was.
andy
If Chelsea win another CL, then undoubtedly they can be considered as the “pride of London” by many neutrals
Makes me sick to even type it but it’s true.
Two stars on that jersey?
Sheesh
What a save
Fucking Morgan, shit cunt.
Who said bringing Morgan on was a mistake?
Oh for fuck sake
Chelsea c*nts
Ooooh that’s a tight one, get the ruler out!
Anyone could see Morgan coming on so early wasn’t a great idea
LMAO
Wow VAR disallows the goal
Wes Morgan!!!!
Brenda has lost his marbles?
VAR
Looks offside
Well done, VAR. Put the Chavs in their place!
Thiago Silva with a David Luiz pass.
It’s why these guys are absolutely priceless.
I saw VAR didn’t give it.
Oh wow, disallowed
I can see the Chelsea fans kicking off after that!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious.
Media have been wanking themselves silly over Chelsea and Tuchel of late, this is beautiful.
VAR takes away all the iconic moments of football
How was that at not at least a booking for James?
Tuchel dressing like that a German Pulis for the final deserves all this
WE
They’ve been shit today, couldn’t do anything against us in the week and we were really poor if they don’t sort it they’ll miss out on top 4 and get spanked by City.
Hope to see Giroud gurning again after a defeat.
I want Leicester to win but that goal should have stood. VAR taking the thrills out of football.
I would be raging if that happened to us to be fair.
Morgan looks like someone who’s won a competition to play for his team.
andy
He looks like he’s eaten Frank Lampard
Might be comedy gold if Leicester beat Chelsea agaIn on Tuesday.
Come on Leicester!!
Marc
Pretty incredible how their season could fall apart in the space of a couple of weeks.
Reminds me of us back in the Wengerball days.
I actually fancy Liverpool to pip them to 4th in the league so they’ll need to win the CL.
A northern base team always gets the decision.
Eat shit chavs LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
“He looks like he’s eaten Frank Lampard”
Fat Frank eaten by even fatter Wes! Lol.
Two final cup finals lost in consecutive years, love it. Eff Chelsea.
Fuck Yeah!!
No doubt that will dent their egos.
Leftside
3 FA Cup Finals lost in their last 4, two of them to us of course.
Lovely to see.
I don’t like this Tuchel dude anyways. Looks like a douche.
Leicester deserve it just for the terrific way they have been run in the last decade
WE
If they lose on Tuesday I think they’ll miss out on top 4 and then go on to lose the CL final.
What they need is a manager with sauce.
So happy for Leicester Chelsea spursy in cup finals lol
‘Bottler’ Brendan win the FA Cup.
CC : Champagne Charlie
Did anyone see that Chelsea fan with the nervous squint that was comedy gold.
If Chelsea crumble in the league and lose the CL final Pedro will give the credit to Arteta for the masterclass that started the Chelsea slide.
Happy for Bodgers in all seriousness.
Has done an incredible job rebuilding his rep at Leicester, an even better job overall than Ranieri managed although Ranieri of course led them to their best ever season by a mile.
WE
Ah yeah your right! Even better!
I can’t take them winning another CL so hoping they lose to City too.
I said before the game Leceister will win.
The Leicester fans truly love their owners
You don’t need soy latte drinking marketing people tweeting to boost support for the Kroenkes like Arsenal dies.
There’s an organic and genuine love/respect from their fan base for the owners.
And to think we could have got tielemans after he left anderlecht and even Monaco. We saw first hand when we played them in the champions league.
Great goal to win it from Tielemans but Schmeichel equally the hero.
Brendan must of been watching the Arsenal v Chelsea game. let Chelsea have the ball and counter attacked.
Hope you threw a few quid on it Samesong.
If Leicester beat Chelsea again and City beat them in CL, the media would have to do a 180 degree on Tuchel. Not that I don’t rate Tuchel but the media has been over hyping a bit.
Decision to leave out Maddison was justified.
Tielemans is a proper footballer btw.
Lol they’ll bottle their end of season wont they? Come on City, save football
Samesong,
Leicester been playing like that for years lol
Leicester had to do it this time, replacing Vardy is going to be next to impossible, they can’t keep making so many great signings. Well deserved though.
Juventus save their bacon over here too. Up to Milan to not drop any stupid points tomorrow
Marc
Think we can interest them in a swap?
Tuchel is losing it a bit at the crown, before they know it he too will be a bald fraud.
Hope you threw a few quid on it Samesong
Not a gambler bro just had the feeling.
,
Leicester been playing like that for years
True lol
Nice to see a club with an owner who cares and a manager not on a work experience scheme.

Samesong is right
Im telling you for free!
It would have been ant-football for that Tielesmann goal to be disallowed because of a knee-to-hand incident that moved the ball away from the Chelsea goal 4 o yards away from goal.
That goal surely deserved to win a cup final.
Atlanta have qualified for their 3rd consecutive champions league scoring more than 100 goals in the last two and that’s after losing Papu Gomez in Sevilla. Gasperini is a miracle worker

India is the second most and America the third most highly populated country in the world and that’s why they suffered the most. The most populated country China is obviously the perpetrator and source of Covid, so obviously they were not going to be affected. I don’t need to hear to ‘experts’ to understand simple mathematical deduction. That you choose to pin it on Trump and Modi only shows your political bias.

Napoli are the ones who will choke it, Fiorentina will get a result.
Can see it already, Vlahovic equaliser at the death after Napoli have had 30 efforts on goal.
All you have to do is beat Cagliari at home tomorrow, easy enough game with them pretty much already safe from relegation.
Tuchel admitted he got his selection wrong against Arsenal, and I think he got it wrong today again.
That’s the problem with these saucy types, they tend to overthink it at times.
*It would have been anti-football for that Tielesmann goal to be disallowed because of a knee-to-hand incident that moved the ball away from the Chelsea goal 40 yards away from goal.
Roman already thinking to himself have I hired a fraud. Losing the CL wil be a 2nd strike. 3rd strike will be losing to Arsenal again twice next season.
Happy for Brendan Rogers too, lol at all those cries of him being a bottler too.
Leicester are such a properly run club by the way
What is a player two 2 medals, one for his 5 year old son?
