There's nothing quite as delightful seeing Barca get humbled.

Ah the Pulisic chance, so much had happened thereafter I had forgotten. Straight after the restart wasn't it.

Just like 2017, the officiating played a huge huge part today.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Yep. 2017 FA Cup Final revenge is on the agenda this year.

He should have been frozen out after the League Cup Final 2019 shenanigans.

Very similar feeling to last year's EL Final. All the pressure is on Arsenal to prove something.

Any chance of Oblak? Or is that a pipe dream.

That is incredible to consider. And even in the following trophyless seasons of 2011 and 2014 we mounted significant title challenges that only tailed off near the end of those seasons. The only quiet season in the Roman Era from a challenge front was the infamous 2015-2016 season. When you lay it all out like this it's astonishing. Can never take it for granted.

If we win it will be the first time in our history we will have gone 4 seasons in a row each with trophy wins. Previous record is 3 seasons between 2004-2007 (which included 5 trophies ofc) and the current period equals our record for now. We are truly spoilt. Even in "transitional" period so to speak we have success that others (others = you know who I mean ;) ) can only dream of.

I don't like this. Since the fixtures first came out I said to myself I want the job done before this game or the Liverpool game. Our saving grace is that Wolves can't qualify for CL via league position which lessens their bite.

That VAR check for our non-goal didn't seem very thorough at all. Probably still offside, but I don't think the frame they showed on TV was the exact moment the pass was made, it was a little after.

Unsure how to feel about this game. I'm very happy with the win because before the game I would have been happy with 1 point, so 2 extra points against a team others have/will drop points to is priceless in the race for 3rd/4th. But I don't think it's possible to make a sweeping conclusion about where we are in comparison to City is there? City today wasn't "THE CITY". Unless you argue that we played so well we didn't give them a chance to be "THE CITY". But it didn't feel that way to me. It reminds me of the feeling I got from our FA Cup win against Liverpool. If feels great sure and was enjoyable. But like today's game, it doesn't feel like we can take any evidence from it that we are any closer to challenging for the title. Yes that was very disrespectful to us and City, the commentators constantly going on about it as well and then a live interview with Daglish and Klopp after the game. It was like a satire of the whole "Liverpool have extra sympathy in the Football Media" thing, but it actually happened and was real. They sure love the sycophancy towards Liverpool. That's fair enough. I suppose it would have felt less egregious if it wasn't for the pandemic innovations such as video calls being a part of the show. Your comment about our result is spot on and echoes my feelings.

I need to reconfirm with him, but I think my Dad started supporting us because of Ruud's signing as well (and ergo by extension that means it's the same reason I support us as well).

He direct messaged my Sister on Social Media a few years before he became famous, and messaged her again earlier this season! My Sister rejected him on both occasions haha.
