thedestroyerofworlds Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 All English Champions League and Europa League finals. Here's my wish list: Reds over Spurs. Gunners over Blues. Then there would be 5 English clubs in the Champions League next season. The Gunners would have a trophy while Spurs would go back to their nice, shiny bed pan stadium empty handed. I do admit the Spurs new digs looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fantastic but like most new stadiums, in England in particular, it's a soulless vacuum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus91 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Oh well. We played our third best season of all time in the Bundesliga and it still wasn't enough. Bayern played a ridiculous second half. Kudos to them. The best thing about this season is that we are 43 points ahead of Sch*lke. Now I hope some of the rumoured transfers come true. Heja BVB!

Brandt and Hazard for a combined 50-60m € would be amazing on its own. Out as well: Schürrle and maybe Philipp. Guerreiro might be a candidate as well (PSG interested?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago he was out for more than half a year because it was discovered he was suffering from a metabolic disease. He still isn't his old self yet (probably never will be) but he has been one of our best players this season. Certainly the most improved player. While he barely played at the beginning of the season he was pretty much guaranteed a starting spot during the second half of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus91 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Coincidentally Götze published an article on The Player's Tribune yesterday: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/mario-gotze-danke-dortmund Quote For me, hell is not being able to play football. It’s really that simple. For most of my life, I didn’t face any big hardships. Everything was smooth, and I got to live my dream at a very young age. I walked out in front of the Yellow Wall at 17. I played under two of the greatest managers in football. I scored in a World Cup final at 22. To be honest, I was so young that it didn’t really sink in, what I was living. I didn’t appreciate it like you might imagine. And then I got sick. And everything nearly went away. But let’s not start there. Let’s start with a good memory. We’ll start with Mr. Klopp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Certainly an unimpressive performance by Arsenal. But you have to wonder what might have been, both today and in the league, had Ramsey not gotten hurt. I suspect that injury cost Arsenal a spot in the Champions League. Ah well....all eyes on Saturday now. Don't really care which team wins but hoping for an entertaining match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well....all eyes on Saturday now. Don't really care which team wins but hoping for an entertaining match. Considering he was the main reason we won Chelsea (H) this season, I imagine he would have made a decent impact on yesterday's game. In fact, he carried us for most stretches this season and we finished as high as we did because of him. The problems go beyond Ramsey's absence (soon to be permanent) though. The defence isn't good enough, the mentality of the team has been dire for the last few seasons, our "best" players are all near the wrong side of 30, and we have possibly the worst transfer (selling and recruiting) processes in all of Europe, especially for a team that relies on operational money and not funds from their owner. It'll be a good summer if most of the effort is selling and scavenging whatever money we can get for the deadweight/not good enough players. I could care less about recruitments unless they're coming in the form of players under the age of 24 and have had a decent impact at their respective teams. Also...under no circumstance is a Tottenham win acceptable, especially in a week where we just lost our European final to a London-based team. So, if by entertaining you mean a 6-0 Liverpool win, then yes, give me an entertaining final. Anything other than a Liverpool win is disastrous.

I don't understand how Arsenal let Ramsey go without getting anything in return. And your prediction for the summer looks about right: "Unai Emery wants to launch a major summer rebuild after Arsenal’s Europa League Final disaster - but will have to do it on a strict budget. Emery was desperate for the club to get back into the Champions League to give him the funds to help fund a major overhaul of his players. Gunners boss Emery wants to completely shake up the squad and sees this summer as key to his entire time at Arsenal. But Emery has been left with as little as £40m to spend on new players and must do it amid a difficult backdrop this summer." https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/unai-emery-ready-offload-big-16226701 Missing out on the Champions League next season was an expensive loss.
