Wenger out. Let's back back to the proper stuff now, please.

In fact, Wenger for France.

koscielny has flown the arsenal flag well tonight, accomplished performance so far

You just had to say that didn't you!

[Perryashburtongroves]

Sadly had to watch it on the BBC and it's hilarious to listen to wobbly lip and She-ra pretending that they know what it's like to play in an international final.

[falkirk goon]

Loved the strength Koscielny showed for the goal shoved aside like a wee laddie fair fucks to portugal they were the only undefeated side in the tournament so deserve to win it no matter how they achieved it.

Good to see clattenberg keeping up his shit cup final record after booking kos for handball despite the fact that it was a black hand that did it

A bit of justice for the Irish seeing as the Portugal winner came soon after it.

still on of the best players on the pitch, but the media narrative will make this all about ronaldo ever though eder scored a corker. fair play to him i guess

[Bradywasking]

Danny Murphy seemed to think Clattenberg's mistake on Kos' yellow card was understandable.. As understandable as mixing up black and white
.

[nut flush gooner]

That was a very Arsenal like performance last night. Up against the parked bus unable to break it down. Fuck they even had Giroud to help them perfect it.

Please god not him up front for another season.

It was all about Ronaldo at the end..The Portuguese manager should have told him to sit down and shut the fuck up..

Of course it was - attention-seeking prick. But then again what do you expect when the cameras swoop around him on the final whistle, rather than the match-winner or one of the players who ran themselves into the ground and barely gave an inch for 120 minutes.

After a very solid game Koscielny showed his tendency to defend like a spindly 13-year old for the goal.

Giroud was piss-poor throughout; unsurprisingly. Looking forward to having that lump as our unchallenged lone striker for another season - hope he's added some new gesticulations.

No doubt their keeper was by far the best player on the pitch Have to say that fonte and their midfielder Mario were exceptional every time I seen them too

[arseofacrow]

Fonte's an irritating like Pepe. Pepe put in very, very fine performances.

On Twitter after the game last night, Ronaldo put up a picture of the Portugal team, with the Nike symbol and the words "Make them believe". I understand commercialism is a big part of the game, but when you have just won your countries 1st ever tournament, you could avoid the Ad's for one night.

[Nos89]

Well done Portugal. Played the match to perfection after Ronaldo left the pitch. They've been there or thereabouts for 4 of the last 5 tournaments so about time.
A tenuous symmetry to 2004, the host country loses the final to a country whose main language is the first language spoken in the city where the Olympics will be held.

[arseofacrow]

Is there a case for Koscielny being affected by the incorrect booking a few minutes earlier and therefore not doing everything he could to stop eder? Or is Koscielny prone to bit of arsenallike defending and being shrugged aside too easily?
