Mancheater City: Pepto Abysmal

When we were linked to him, he was leading Monaco to a league title and knocking Pep out of the CL.

I thought Wenger wanted Mbappe even before that. To be fair Chelsea tried to sign him to their academy when he was 12 or something, but who didn't Chelsea try to sign?

Yeah it was clear he was the next megastar even then. You don’t shred teams in the CL knockouts at that age and flame out.

He was at worst on a Rooney career trajectory and that’s assuming he started on a darts players diet.

People either forget this or want to project their own confirmation bias to everyone else.

Wenger's eye for talent never went away.

When Arsène wanted us to bring Mbappe, nobody considered him to be all that special, in fact if ypu go back here and search, some were even ridiculing him.
And then one year later, Kylian took the world by storm and ended up at PSG.

Anyone who said Mbappe wasn't special was an idiot or pretending they knew about a player they didn't. Kid was earmarked for greatness from about age 14

There is a rumor Wenger wanted him the summer before that. Apparently visited them and we could have had him for 300k or something like that.

Wenger talent ID was top top. But it was very sad how many players we lost out on when France started to deliver many batches of them in Wenger later years here. Maybe money issue but also that Grimandi/Kante fiasco.

Hilarious seeing them on Sky sports talk about how KdB leaving will give a chance for Foden to shine. They ain’t giving him that chance you numbskulls, they’re dropping 100m on Wirtz first week of June.

 

[MauveGunner]

De Bruyne has more talent and vision in his left testicle than Foden in his entire body

What a season he’s having

I shouldn't laugh but your comment got me

 

[Oxeki]

**** it , shed no tears .
Let’s smash those ****ing dippers on Sunday and be in this for real next year .

Hate arsenal (psg will beat them) but great to see that **** Bellingham brought down a peg or two...

Wish my wife got this excited when I get a semi

1-5 on aggregate. That is a shocker.

This is the first and last time I will ever think or post this.

Get in there you beautiful tarquin bastards!!

Arsenal have battered Madrid over both games. Madrid have too many ‘celebrity’, selfish players

I will be livid if Arse wins the CL. cannot happen

Beat them home and away, will never hear the end of this now.

Love 'em or hate 'em, that's a corking result over two games.

This Madrid team are poor
And they battered us!

Well played Arsenal.

Always good to see the fascists humbled.

Hope they don't win the whole bloody thing, Liverpool winning the league then arsenal win the champions league. Imagine if **** win europa. God I hope we win the fa cup atleast it'll make things abit easier.

Hopefully Madrid will go after Lego head now : )

Fancy PSG to beat Arsenal

We lost because we cannot defend. Pep teams are filled with slow and physically weak players, Arsenal are nothing special , but their players are faster and physically were able to match RM.

We're all PSG fans now

Shows how crap we've been this season when we couldn't beat the worst Madrid side in decades.

I thought Rice did for Arsenal what we have become accustomed to seeing Rodri do for us.
Thought he had a great game.

Arsenal played well over there in Madrid and unlike us didn’t get drawn into a basketball match which seems to happen when we play there,also don’t think the Madrid team this season is all that ..

Unfortunately Arsenal have as good a chance as any now. They have a solid enough defence and midfield which will stand them in good stead.

Credit to Arsenal but Madrid were awful. Vini Jr was a joke considering he thinks he's the best in the world. Timber owned him completely.

Don't know if it's mainly Vini being shocking, but Timber was ****ing good.

Basmati is worth the £100m. Ødegaard on the other hand... but it doesn't matter.

And unless something crazy happens, Arsenal will go into the final. That PSG midfield has no chance, especially with the second leg at Emirates. They damn near crumbled yesterday and fortunate to survive.

Arteta's setup might not be good enough to win the league (yet), but in Europe, that's pretty much the blueprint.

Edit: got the info wrong, second leg at the Parc. Still, I fancy Arsenal take the tie.

I think Arsenal will beat PSG tbf but hopefully Barca or inter will be too much for them

Bloody arsenal. How have they become better than us?

By winning more games.

Real have become what PSG were---team that contains too many -feck this im the best--players in the same team

One common denominator.

Can't be a coincidence...can it?

Fair play to Arsenal, a mature performance all things considered. **** knows why Madrid spent the game lumping the ball into the box of one of Europe's most organized defensive units. Shows how poor we have been to make that Madrid side look decent, they're full of players playing for themselves at the moment.

Brilliant from the gunners tonight. Just wish we could’ve gone there more often with a mature and confident attitude like they did tonight. They now can go on and win it even without recognition striker.
