I honestly think this forum and many others will collapse if that happens lol
Yeah I for 1 will have to eat alot of shyt and humble pie for all the slander I have given Arteta over the years

But I'm ready to take it on the chin if it happens and I have complete faith in Arteta and Artetaball


This worries me though :lupe:

We had things like that when we beat Milan in 05, things like a royal wedding, new doctor who, I even think one of the omens was about a new pope

I knew you lot wanted Inter in the final over Barca.

You got your wish after all lol
Honestly, no easier or preferred opponent in the final. I’m just amazed at how people are already writing us off against PSG.

I loathe Arteta and his dikk riders with a passion but that 0-1 loss wasn’t completely his fault. We had our best CB out, Partey out, all our strikers injured and Merino had to drop to midfield.

Bar a very tight disallowed goal, a 0-1 loss was respectable. It could’ve been way worse. Now Arsenal have no excuse but to play fearlessly because our season will be defined by this game.

I’d be less confident if we went into the 2nd leg defending a 1 goal lead.

I think this could be the same as the Liverpool game
We lost at home but won at theirs
You can easily do the same

And Barca wasn’t lucky to not lose the first leg?



Ehhh not really. I follow Serie A very well and to say they gave up the league is a wild take.

They only had a 3pt lead over Napoli going into week 33 and had a much tougher schedule than Napoli (Bologna, Roma, Lazio, Como). They were always going to drop points and the title was going down to the final day.

They lost away to Bologna at the final kick of the game on an amazing overhead kick from Orsolini. Lost 1-0 at home to a Roma team that hadn’t lost a league match in 18 games.

Coppa Italia SF was against Milan. A Milan side that’s already beaten them once in the Supercoppa and once in the league. Inter has not won a single game against Milan this season.

It’s fine margins
I'm just salty my guy :russ:

I had a strong premonition that Martinelli scored hat trick in this tie. Add it to your parlay but don’t blame me if it doesn’t happen. :whoa:

Gonna get a lot of hot takes about Inter from folks who don't watch Serie A. if anything Barça is lucky Inter had those mental dips in the two legs cause going 2-0 up in both the way they did has been textbook Inter. Those surrenderings in the two legs are out of the norm. They were the better team over both legs.

Baby Inzaghi teams have a history of choking. See Lazio vs Inter last day of the season when he was still at Lazio.
