I'm not saying it's a good tactic but the goal conceded was from a penalty rather from open play.
We should've had one ourselves but at the end of the day we shouldn't rely on refs to be consistent.
I don't think it put off people attending the Arsenal parade. Reported to be the biggest in UK sporting history.
Not to be outdone PSG celebrated in the their own way in Paris

Penalty? Nonsense. The foul was on the PSG player. Your goal came from a free kick as a result of a Saka dive. First 8 minutes 3 dives from Arsenal, Tossard, Saka and Skelly. How come Skelly was still on the pitch after giving away the penalty? Should have had a second yellow. Yet another example of Arsenal's immunity from red cards.

Been away last week, so doing abit of catch-up here.
UCL Final.
As stated the worse thing that happened was Arsenal scoring early. Contemplated turning it off there and then as I knew the game was going to be killed as Arsenal would then just play not to lose, time waste etc. Took three people to take a throw in (and well over a minute) and then taking as much time as possible to take the corner , then look hard done by when the ref had enough and blew for half-time. Something the refs will look into next season. A rule coming in for the World Cup where they have 5 seconds to take throw in etc, along with no Goalkeeper tactical timeouts (Raya with his cramp for example, how does a keeper get cramp?).

If Saka’s basketball dribble wasn’t a penalty then the “foul” on Maduke wasn’t either (neither were pen’s for me btw), the fact Mendy got his arm in front of Maduke probably saved him there.
IMO, Football won on Saturday.
Liverpool/Slot.
It had to happen. The football being displayed was awful. Massive disconnection from the fans by the end of the season. The fact there were teams worse than us got us into the Champions League place and even then, that was because English teams got 5 slots.
No Liverpool manager should lose 20 games in a season.
The only people I’ve seen saying it was the wrong decision have been fans of other clubs. A bit like Liverpool fans saying Man Utd should never had got rid of Solskjaer/Ten Haag/Amorim.
Would it have been different if say he had last season’s performances in his first season and then won the league in his second? Of course but, we became too easy to play against.
It’s a tough job whoever comes in. Lot's of work to be done throughout the club.
All my personal opinion of course.

I thought that might spring your confirmation bias into action.

How come Skelly was still on the pitch after giving away the penalty?
Because it was Mosquera that gave away the penalty maybe?

So that's where you've been getting your bias from.
That law is already in place. it's called the West Ham Law it was last used when 3 different Spammers restricted Raya. Without it the PL run in may have been different

Well I watched Netherlands v Algeria last night, cracking goal by A in the dying minutes to win.
Malen, 4 sitters missed and several 2nd touches not required when he could have shot, even Weghorst would have done better with more time!
I know it was only a friendly but in the opening minutes the Dutch looked so disjointed, a better team would've ripped them apart.
Hopefully not a sign of things to come (as usual) a bets been placed, good odds and you never know, a easy ish run in Japan, Sweden, Tunisia.
See Man U have have signed a defensive midfielder Ederson from Atalanta and another I can't rem.
Edit? Man City threaten legal action....the irony
