Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but when martial came on as a sub, the first thing he did in an FA Cup final while his team was losing. He ran past bakayako and gave the French man a high-five. What kind of behaviour is that?
What happened to Martial? Two years ago he was so hyped when he came to United, did well at the euros with France I thought; now he’s not even made the World Cup squad. Did he get worse or was it always like this?
Bayern have just had a stonewall penalty turned down, during second half injury time, whilst trailing a goal in the cup final.

This is the claim. Referee went to VAR, went and watched it on one of the shitty little monitors, and didn't give it. Fucking hell.
Was it that stonewall?
Boateng does kick his foot. He goes over a bit easily but it's a penalty.
I think we've all held out the hope that it would 'click' (or another similar cliche) for Martial, since he has everything else, but if he doesn't take the chances he does get then what does he want? People will blame Mourinho, but he is the only person to ever get anything out of Joe fucking Cole, so his reputation for being unable to cope with flakey wankers is a bit undeserved.
Thank God that seasons over. Mourinho has been dreadful for months.
So Willian posted this on his Snapchat. Obviously Conte out at some point today.
I'm sure it's Conte's fault he's a lazy sack of shite.
That's quality, as is Chelsea Twitter seething about 'disrespect'.
Chelsea Twitter is completely retarded, but that probably applies to Any Club Twitter if we're being honest.
Mourinho seething and Olivier Giroud happy, that's the only good outcome that could have happened so it's a 10/10 Cup Final for me.
Great tackle in last nights Barcelona game.
By the way, in the soap opera of Portuguese football, minnows Aves beat Sporting in the cup final to win and qualify for Europe.
However, there is some pre registration for the competition which most teams do which Aves didn't which means their auto qualification into the Europa league group stage isn't happening.
Also, all the sporting players are looking to quit the team. Expect some bargains.
Do they have many good players? Gerson Fernandes or whatever his name is looks alright (on FIFA). Anyone else?
They were on about some Dutch striker on Second Captains last week. Apparently he scores a lot but then again it's Portugal.
Bas Dost. He is a proper center forward. The manager goes mad at him if he tried to run into the channels out wide.
This Pirlo Testimonial looks like a right old clusterfuck.
Two goals in 90 seconds
Emery to Arsenal then. Didn't think they'd do a short term appointment.

West Ham United that is.
So is Aves problem stadium related? It usually is.
Emery is a mega intense nut job. I give him one season and a League Cup.
My 'he doesn't speak English' dig at Simeone has fallen to pieces.
It smacks of some moneyball pleb deciding that his teams have the crispest passing per dollar spent or whatever. I'm pretty sure the dressing room has been a total disaster everywhere he's been.
Unai Emery is overshadowing a much funnier appointment, with West Ham bringing in Mister Pellegrino on two hundred grand a week.
He was making Ł12m a year in China which is fucking mental.
I'd have stayed out there.
At this point that would qualify as a decent season for Arsenal, assuming it didn't come alongside an eighth place finish.
Pretty much. Europe and the League Cup? That's about a par season.
CL would be better, but that's a tough ask in the league currently.
You're fast approaching the point where it's not worth engaging with you on Arsenal, and maybe football in general, because all that comes back is over the top misquotings of what I/others have said and some nineties sass to really drive home how pathetic you're being.
You finished sixth, seven points off fifth with the second highest goals allowed in the top half and without a trophy to show for it. If you think another sixth place finish next season, perhaps a bit closer to the other five, but with a league cup in the cabinet wouldn't be some measure of progress then you need to put your head in some freezing cold water and keep it there until you reboot.
EDIT - You've edited that post about six times, but addressing the most recent version, you've cited losing the League Cup final to Man City as almost a positive in that season, so explain to me how winning that same cup wouldn't be considered a positive?
It's progress from last season you mong.
Easy boys, you are both right.
You can see why Twitter is trying to get rid of him.
Spurs finished third this season with no trophies. If they finished next season in third but also won a league cup, that would be a better season than this one was.
Arsenal finished sixth this season with no trophies. If they finished next season in sixth but also won a league cup, that would be a better season than this one was.
