Maitland-Niles has been largely responsible for all three goals against. Two giveaways and giving up the penalty

The only reason Ozil's contract isn't the worst in world football is because Alexis Sanchez still exists. Arsenal might as well play with 10.

The first half was so terrible...but man this second half has really delivered!

Only one place in London to watch the Europa League next year I guess!

Giroud has been outstanding just to stick the dagger in a little more for Arsenal.

Arsenal are probably an even bigger mess to fix than United. With even worse ownership. Good luck with that.

Arsenal are going to fall a lot further before even the prospect of a fix.

Even then, there is no hope of anything being done to arrest the decline while Kroenke is the owner. He has to be the most disengaged bloodsucking parasite that has ever become involved in the sport.

Hicks and Gillette would throw their hat into that ring.

Only the Sheikh has more money than Kroenke (when factoring his wife). He's just a cheap ass. Gillette and Hicks were just inept.

Well that, but they were also broke. They had to keep borrowing money.

Really surprised, they were better the first 40 or so minutes, kante could barely move, chelsea had a bit of a run the last 5 mins or the first half, then in the 2nd half it's like emery demotivated them or something, a group of players came out who just looked like they werent interested anymore

If wenger were still in charge, I think this summer they would buy a few younger players and try and rebuild, but based on last summer, where they tried to fill in holes with veterans, who knows

Should be an interesting summer

Well it's the eve of the big game, and we've had almost no discussion of it here. What are people's thoughts? Predictions?

I just want a good final, but I suspect it might be anti-climatic after how insane the competition has been so far. Biggest intrigue is obviously what to do with Kane. Conventional thinking would say I don't think you can start him, but it's been three weeks since any of them have played so is he gonna be that much worse in terms of game shape than the rest of them?

Well I think that it's pretty hard to maintain the insanity of the last round for tomorrow, but I think that it will be a good game and a close one. I'm not sure what the best idea is with Kane though. I think that I would use him as a sub around the 65th minute as opposed to starting him, but in Poch we trust!

I think that Spurs will pull this out though. I say 2-1 in a close match.

I think this has all the classic makings of a devastating Spurs loss. They'll probably carry the play and take a 1-0 lead into halftime that should be a 3-0 lead, then concede a cheap set piece goal in the second half and then some kind of gaffe in injury time to bury them.

EDIT: Then Poch will announce he's leaving for Juve to really put the icing on the cake.
