00:00If it's not 3-1, I don't know what to say, but I'm guessing 3-1.
00:03It's the Chelsea fans. I really want to get to the Chelsea fans.
00:06I reckon if we do end up winning the Champions League, no one's ever going to hear the end of
00:10it.
00:10I reckon we'll win 2-1.
00:11I believe in my team. 3-1. I'm telling you from now, if it's not 3-1, I don't know
00:16what to say, but I'm guessing 3-1.
00:182-1? 2-1? What do you reckon?
00:20Yeah, I think it'll be 2-1.
00:222-1.
00:232-0.
00:252-0?
00:26Yeah, I'm saying 2-1 as well.
00:283-1.
00:292-1 to Arsenal, probably.
00:30What are you looking forward to the most?
00:32Probably the atmosphere and hopefully lift and show food.
00:35It's a special moment, especially if you've got grandparents and stuff.
00:39My granddad was like, you can't believe he's lived long enough to see us do it again.
00:42It's going to be a special game. A one to remember.
00:45We lost my nan during Covid, so yeah, I think she'll be watching over, making sure we win it today.
00:51Not today, sorry, on Saturday.
00:53I reckon if we do end up winning the Champions League, no one's ever going to hear the end of
00:57it, to be honest.
00:58Yeah, no one will hear the end of it.
01:00And if we win the Champions League, the parade on Sunday, it will be out of this world.
01:04It will be something to remember for the rest of my life.
01:06I reckon it's going to be back to back.
01:08We'll win the Prem again next season.
01:10Remember I said that, we'll win the Prem again next season.
01:12I'll come back to this spot to find you next year, mate.
01:15Yeah, yeah, definitely.
01:16I think now they've won it once.
01:18It's a burden off the players.
01:20And I reckon we would go again, get it next year, get the title.
01:23And hopefully it's just even more pressure off for the Champions League final to go and win it.
01:28Because they know they've got a cup.
01:29It's just like, right, well, let's just prove we're the best.
01:31And that's it.
01:31Obviously, growing up in school, having your friends take the mick out of you because you're supporting a team that's
01:36bottle drops, it's not a nice feeling.
01:39But to actually say I've got the one-up on everyone else, it's an amazing feeling.
01:43So I think that's how most fans are probably feeling at the moment.
01:45Obviously, fan bases aren't huge fans of Arsenal.
01:48If you ask any fan base, who are you most excited to stick it to if you win the Champions
01:52League?
01:54Tottenham.
01:55Yeah, Tottenham.
01:56Well, because of the rivalry and plus, just to let them know that they haven't won the Prem and we've
02:03won the Champions League.
02:04That would be lovely.
02:05Chelsea inspires.
02:06My friend supports Tottenham.
02:08He's never going to hear the end of it from you.
02:10Never.
02:12All the Man U fans, to be honest, hate them, honestly.
02:16It's the Chelsea fans.
02:17I really want to get to the Chelsea fans because they love saying that they've won a Champions League European
02:21trophies.
02:22So to say that we've finally won one and we've got a Premier League in the same season,
02:25it will just close their miles, close City fans' miles.
02:28We've been getting grief from everyone, haven't we?
02:30No one likes Arsenal.
02:31No one ever goes, I don't mind Arsenal.
02:33All the London clubs don't like us.
02:36Man United and Liverpool, we're the next biggest thing.
02:38We ain't got no mates.
02:40So all of them.
