I mean I have time for rival fans who genuinely want to talk about football. The ones who talk about the teams in the here and now, how they were developed, the way the club is run, the different styles, potential for success, what we or they would need to improve and what we/they have over other rivals. That I don't mind. But engaging with those talksport robots, you know the types who talk about "oooh you've never won a CL" despite winning nothing themselves the last decade. Yeah I'm not bothered to even respond to those.

1) There is no guarantee of anything but that invincible team had more than enough to take on those teams I listed

2) You are right, forgot about Juve. Like I said it was an impressive achievement but Mourinho had a great team, not like he won it on a shoe string budget.

      Who's talking about winning nothing? Being the best football team for a prolonged period gives you a very good chance of winning things on multiple occasions. Inter under Jose finished in the last 16, won, and then the round of 16 again the season he was sacked. Pep won, finished in the semi final, won again and got knocked out in the semi's again. I know which one I'd chose.

      As for ammunition, I don't interact with the teenagers on twitter so don't really need it for emergency bragging rights after lose 5-1 to Chelsea and finish 8th.

        lol I don’t engage with kids on Twitter. However, I’m part of a Fantasy football WhatsApp forum (average age 35) and whenever you want to say Arsenal have done well or doing well or Arteta is a good manager, you are often rebutted with ‘but what have you won?’. They are mainly Chelsea and Liverpool fans on there.

        So, yes, I want a trophy badly to shut them up.

            2) Mourinho bought Millito on a budget transfer from Genoa who ended up winning the CL for him. He got Eto’o, one of footballs biggest egos to effectively play as a full back! Whatever you say, he managed that team well and deserved the CL that year

              Fuck me. Lol. Why are people up in arms?

              I've seen versions of this for loads of players and coaches. Including Arteta. Walker is always acting like he's a great laugh, loves the banter, etc but then something like this has him so upset?

              There is a bit of a debate going on Twitter as the AI system is making all sort of wild photos but that above is just a crappy photoshop.

              Seen plenty of photos of Arteta looking like Bin Laden and people call him a terrorist for the more defensive football we play, it is just tacky banter nothing deeper than that.

              It is perfect, sums up the purist Arsenal fans moaning about our football and even those rival fans who loved us under Wenger, while we played great football and then got smashed by good teams. They can't give us a pat on the head anymore and say better luck next time

              There's unlimited resentment about us being competitive again. The one problem is that for now, the Arsenal haters in the cosy media and refereeing establishment are winning. I'd love us to shove it all down their throats finally.

              I've got Man Utd fans coming out the woodwork laughing at how we failed to deliver the title in the past two seasons. Which is incredible given how they have become Banter FC. TBF, that's half of why I want us to win something so I can rub it in their faces.

                  It reminds me of when we were laughing at Liverpool for not winning the league. Deep down the reason for me was jealously, that that club had organically surpassed us, was running like clockwork on and off the pitch. They were competing for the title while we were dreaming up scenarios of scraping a Top 4 finish. The thought of them winning the title made sick while we looked a million miles away from that level.

                  That and the fact Liverpool fans are the most insufferable twats going tbf.

                    Some absolutely wild ones there if you look through that thread!

                    This is insane when you think about it
