Congrats to the Gooners, winning ugly though but the results count. Golden Arrow busses parked at Wembley.

Beating the current and former Champions back to back is an achievement.

Thanks for beating the plastic team.

Hope you can beat that other plastic teams too in the final.
When you have Mustafi and Luiz as part of your back line, it's not going to be pretty. Although playing forward for the two goals was poetic in the moment.

Auba and Lacazette are lethal in front of goal - now that Arteta has taught the defense how to defend (even if it is 'park the bus' style) things are looking better for Arsenal.

I'm looking forward to them being a hard game for the rest of the top six again.

Always had a soft spot for Arsenal, decent manager all the years, decent fans and always played decent football with relatively little of the 'dark arts'.

Arsenal did lose the last final they played in. But it was more a loss to Eden Hazard than Chelsea.
Then he buggered off
True. Fear factor is gone cos Hazard is out. Frank is a good coach but Arteta is better

Every time I watch a Liverpool Mané game I want to kots :sick: Mane faking a fall yet again, they score from an unfair free kick and celebrate like its something to be proud about.

Take nothing away from the fact that they are 3-0 ahead of Chelsea though. Lampard's team is in trouble.

It is a free kick, you and commentators:mad: . He takes Mane's leg out first then ball

Bullshit call. If that was legal the rules need to change. Ridiculous.

If only there was some sort of way to differentiate between clean and dirty teams...

Oh wait, there is....and it's called....drumroll....The Fair Play Table

Funny thing is that's for Premier League only, I wonder what it looks like for the whole of Europe....


Oh, right...

Also known as the table that sort of differentiates between teams favoured by Referees. Yes, and just like i suspected... LivVARpool top of the list.

I was going to come here and mention the earlier moaning about penalties given - flip side of the same coin hey :)
