There's been a delicious desperation about Arsenal from their fans screaming for every little thing, their players diving and Arteta being a Zebedee cunt as usual. By and large, ref hasn't fallen for any of it

Yep not even a foul but he's got the nerve to go after the ref wanting him sent off

Is Martinelli really complaining that should have been a booking? Arsehole, he barely touched him

Kvara with a poor Schar impression

Ref has been excellent, why the fuck do we get lumbered with these utter moron officials in the PL

hate VAR but fuck Arteta so yeah

come on VAR

Stupid fucking cunts in the crowd booing along with Arse-teta being a overhyped idiot on the sidelines trying to influence everything. Get fucked, PSG have been class at times, good game overall, ref has done well to keep a lid on the fever-pitch whining at every challenge, despite most of them being fair tackles.

I swear literally every player we're linked with, also is linked with Chelsea in the same article every time. Doesn't seem to matter what position

Yeah basically what I meant. The 3 promoted teams from last season were never staying up, it was hardly a reasonable argument at any point. Leicester and Southampton were an embarrassment, lost about 25 home games between them. Only Ipswich had a tiny chance thanks to some half decent away results (they were pitiful at home as well) and I give them credit for taking it as far as they did. You need to be prepared to spend a ton and there's no guarantees you won't go straight back. But maybe yo-yoing for a few seasons, trading as much as possible, can get the finances into a position where it's possible to come up and stay up.

Mackems are nailed on to play someone dreadful in the play-offs, whether it's them or Millwall or Blackburn, doesn't matter and they'll probably win. Terrible standard but plenty of excitement in a lot of games is the general gist I have from what i've seen. No team down there is prepared for the chasm between the top 2 leagues. Best case for the promoted teams is 17th and build from there like Forest did.

Liam Gallagher doing a shit Poznan there. Not a lot to like about City is there

They've had a cracking season and deserve plaudits. They've carried luck with hardly any injuries and not playing well and winning anyway but they still deserve the credit. With black and white glasses on, all they've done is increase the competition in an already competitive top 5. Would be happy with them replacing a Chelsea not being added to the mix

Bit spiteful but it's delightful how unlucky Forest have been today, with how lucky they've been in general all season. It's run out at just the wrong time for them and i'm there for it

Yates will be on soon to kick the shite out of anything that moves

Murph buries that

It's a fair point and i'd back Howe to improve just about any player. For the way we currently play though, Barnes is the better fit and actually wanted to come to the club. There's probably a fair few players out there who could fulfill a creative role that we can go for in the future, that actually want to be part of what we're doing. If a player prefers a bit more money or the "London" life, that's someone we don't want near us anyway.

Agree, grew up with semis in the 80s being played at smaller neutral grounds. They were class for atmosphere and limbs

Shit atmosphere for a semi. Forest fans seem a bit shell-shocked, City fans can't be arsed in general.

He's at the perfect club

City are hideously dull and sloppy

Murillo really holds them together at the back, quality CB

Sels' hair looks like it's made of nylon

Was just going to post something similar. Interested to see if they're a flash in the pan or a sustainable top 6-8 club. Watched a fair few of their games and they have carried so much luck at times. Got a few really good players at CB plus MGW but rarely been particularly impressed. Thought they were unlucky at Villa recently but most of the time I scratch my head at how they won a game.

Amazed Yates isn't out there kicking everything that moves in a blue shirt
