    Such a predictable quip.

    Go on, say it: 'They were the better team'.

    Yawn yawn yawn.

    Even if you end up lounging around the bottom of the 3rd division, fighting relegation to the Conference, you'd still be saying 'We wont the Champions league' 'cos somehow that will make up for anything.
    Admit it; you are a very poor looser.

    But not such a bad speller.

    I guess you've had more opportunity to adapt :)

    Nah - fair play and congrats to the Gooners: well played.

    Question is: what now for Wenger? Leave on a high or extend the pain?

    Reassuring to see Moses keeping the Cheatski traditions alive...

    It'll be interesting to see how they get on next season with the new retrospective bans for diving/simulation and the likes of Hazard and Costa banned for half their games :twisted:

    No need to be so rude to City Boy :)

    History is something for teams who used to be good but aren't as good any more. Sound familiar? :wink:

    Lol. Arsenal not even on the graphic.

    Moses effectively lost them the match. Arsenal put much pressure on Chelski and that sending off tipped the balance.

    More significant was the blatant hand ball by Sanchez just before he scored.

    Traditions like winning a trophy? Clearly not a City tradition these days :wink:

    Referee should have checked with the linesman. It's not Sanchez fault the ref didn't blow the whistle. Moses needs more practice.

    It was his fault that he hit the ball with his arm though.

    Garry has a point - 'Dirty Sanchez' is quite appropriate.

    Actually the ball hit Sanchez's knee and deflected up to his hand. Not intentional...not handball.
    But then again, Cheatski have never concerned themselves with that actual laws of the game :wink:

    I Only started this thread to high light Stevos bi-polar affection for Middlesbourgh and Chelski. Didn't envisage an Arsenal V Chelski final. I Did however foresee Boro going down, I ve not been around much, I take it Stevo hasn't mentioned Boro much this Season?

    I think we need to take a closer look at City Boys' obvious soft spot for Arsenal. Given what he's posted above, maybe he should change his username to 'Ar$e Boy' :D

    1st Division/Premier league titles:

    Arsenal: 13
    Chelsea: 6 (sorry, I should say 7 as they won a 2nd tier division once. We've not had that privilege)

    FA cups:
    Arsenal: 13
    Chelsea: 7

    I think you should include that European Cup Winners' Cup win in those stats just to really rub it in :lol:

    How about looking at the stats since, say 2005? And include the Champions League :wink: Or maybe how many times we've won the Premier League since you last won it...

    They have a long way to go to catch up.
    As Long as Abramovich keeps bank rolling the Blues, you might get there by 2055 (as long as he doesn't drink some radio active tea).

    You sound like a Liverpool fan.

    If you have another 20 goes, do you reckon you'll win one of these? :wink:

    To summarise.
    If you lift a trophy then cheating is okay.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Don't worry, ultimately my support and loyalty is strictly reserved for one team and one team only.

    Personally I would find it nigh on impossible to temper my support for my childhood, hometown team later in life to take the glory hunter's approach of leaping unashamedly onto the bandwagon of a bigger(??), more successful team!

    I think we should look more closely at you refusal to declare where your loyalty and support lay during the Chelski - Boro games this last season?

    Maybe you should change your user name to 'Bandwagon Boy' or 'Mockney Turncoat' :wink:
