    I feel vindicated after that. For all the Porto time wasting and ref chicanery, we fucking pulled a win. Raya the fucking legend and to Ode, Saka, Rice and Havertz! LET’S GO!

        I haven’t had my heart rate like that since the Spurs away game last season. My brother had to text me the call of the penalities 😂 way too stressful.

    Have a good day/evening! Terrible game, but let’s enjoy the win!

    Don’t know about you, but I’m still going to miss waking up to watch a game for the next week and a half

        After seeing how much we struggled against Porto, I could see other teams trying the same tactics

          That’s my thought - I just remember how Newcastle frustrated the everliving hell out of us last season and every pundit was going on about how it was “the formula to beating Arsenal”, as if their solution wasn’t “play as little football as possible and pretend to be constantly injured”

        I doubt it. Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern would probably try to attack, especially at home.

    That first “save” from Raya (he did not fucking mean it let’s be real) was great lol

    I was somehow not nervous until the penalty kicks, and then suddenly it all kicked in for me.

      Exactly my reaction. I think when I saw how much there was 0 attacking impetus from them starting the second half and how we struggled to even make any chances, I was resigned to penalties. Then it was just boredom until OH SHIT PENALTIES AAAA

        For me it was more like I didn’t care too much until the end. I was thinking “well, if Arsenal goes out of the CL it means the club can focus on the league”. Then suddenly I cared too much and was freaked out.
