Yeah, both sides were equally good. The last few minutes must have been very exciting to watch right? We were so close! I won't be too bothered if Benfica wins. Any big club, like Arsenal & Dortmund, would have problems against a good team like Benfica. Anyway, may the best team win!
Get this: Arsenal have spent more on transfers than ANY premier league club pre-this-season (more even than Manchester City) and are already looking like they'll be fighting relegation this 21/22! XD
@Damocles Wait, what happened in all those years? That's so not Arsenal. I remember the time when Arsène Wenger only wanted to buy young players on the cheap & still remained sub-top. Is Mikel Arteta made for this job, ya think?
And I also have some news to shareXD The rumours about Cristiano Ronaldo seem to be true. The only thing is he doesn't want to to PSG, but to one of the big clubs in England. So Damocles, you might be one lucky bastard if he wears your beloved blue shirt next week;)
@Christiaan, for real, Mikel Arteta is completely out of his depth managing this club. In fact, it's Arsenal's descent as a top flight team that makes you realise just how much substance Pep Guardiola actually has as a manager. Arsenal thought that by hiring one of Pep's coaching staff as a manager, they'd be playing as Man City lite. Not Happening.
Well now THAT IS very interesting. I'll be frank and say I don't see Chelsea showing any interest in Ronaldo, seeing as they've just invested in a 5 year contract with Romelu Lukaku as their key striker... but perhaps Manchester United (may want him back) or even Manchester City (who are looking for a solid number 9, what with their current headache trying to pry Kane from Tottenham).
That's a very good argument @Damocles It's definitely not easy to copy someone's style of play and expect the same results. I have experienced a similar thing in field hockey (played it for 12 years). You have so many different dynamics to take into account and that makes it so hard to find the right synergy, like psychology of players, their playing styles & competenties, leadership skills,
Please don't remind me of the game yesterday;P I'm still thinking of Zahavi's open goal moment. Man, he really needs to wear glasses next time.
Congrats with the win @PortugalTheMan . Your team won fair and square. And hold on to that keeper. He's definitely a keeper, if you know what I mean;) #CornyJokes
@Christiaan. I seriously cannot believe this. I was completely joking when I mentioned the possibility of Ronaldo leaving Italy this year... and now he's coming back to England for real... it's actually legit!
@Damocles Well, the joke is on you and the rest of the Premier League;) Man City will surely win this year's title for the umpteenth time with C7 at its side
On a serious note: I think modern football needs to impose financial fair play rules to keep oligarchs from buying success with their boy toys. The chance of an outsider winning a prize is practically 0% if things remain this way
Totally agree with you on the transfers. It's a joke.
You can very easily just buy your way to the top of the Premier League and have yourself ownership of some decent silverware, if you can find yourself a Saudi investor...
Things have got to be sorted out. We need more caps!
@Damocles I'll hope so too for you:) The Citizens were fun to watch years ago but now it's time for something fresh and Chelsea may maybe be lucky enough to proclaim the title this season. Lukaku is definitely the guy who can help with something like that
