TNT Sports just said only one team have defended the Champions League. Which is semantically true but it's the same trophy that many teams defended over the years.
Gerrard just said if it's a game of football then Arsenal will lose. Which tells you everything you need to know about Arsenal.
It's been a bloody awful game to watch so far. But most involving Arsenal this season have been.
Just turned on to see Arsenal concede their first penalty of the season.
Or was that just in the Premiershipleague?
Anyway, don't really care as Bayern aren't playing, but I think I'll be slightly more annoyed if PSG lose having knocked Bayern out.
I think I'll be a lot more annoyed if they win, given they are a fake petrostate funded club, and 'nominally' french.
...but I suppose that we are all different.
Of course there is that. There is no 'good' winner here. Unless a sinkhole opens up and swallows both teams. I'm happy with nature being the winner.
I don't really understand all the Arsenal hatred. People complain about the Spanish dancing, and then complain when a club does something to stop it.
It's the fans. London's been like I imagine a zombie apocalypse might be with Arsenal fans roaming round in packs for the last week or so.
We won't hear the end of it if they do this double. And corner kick WWF is hardly an improvement on Spanish Dancing.
I also don't live in North London anymore so I don't care if it isn't forever.
(We will of course hear the end of it, but not for a goodly while).
Local fans excited about club's success. More at 11.
I would say there are 5 or 6 clubs closer to me than Arsenal.
Tallest dwarf I know, but at least PSG were champions of their domestic league last season...
Honestly - I don't care. I'm just here for Ally McCoist's commentary right enough. That'll do for me.
Though a fight would be nice (on the field, not between us).
Not from me you don't. I like the arse. Proper club. I don't buy that there's good football and bad football...only football designed to win. The idea is to win. Believe me there's skill, technique, and application in equal measure however you go about that. It's not footballs fault if fans only embrace fatty eye sugar rather than a balanced ocular diet.
Also I consider the arse our offspring club. We let them wear red. Their laundry, is our laundry. Who isn't happy when their babies do well? (I have found this approach very useful in getting arse fans back in their place, which I have had some occasion to need in the past).
All fans have elements of which are complete twats...spoiler alert, it's because we live in a country full of twats, and football is just a reflection of that. If you are getting triggered by other people being happy their laundry has won something you are in the wrong game - unless it's a manure fan, for whom the presumption of dickwadery is allowed - after all it's only a tiny fraction of their support base that are actual football supporters, or know where manchester is (it's under the permanent cloud, and all the water has wrinkled their brains - not than any {within rounding errors} of their fans have been there).
Which absolutely does not mean that I'm going to congratulate a 'fan' on their team winning something - unless they actually played in the game or made some form of meaningful contribution beyond hitching their coat tails to a favourite and crying to mummy if nobody sent them 'flowers' for being a sheep. Bro.
You will get more of these wankers, the more support there is for a club...and if you think you are getting away with it if it's a no mark less well supported club that wins, you are probably sportswashing a human rights abusing nation state, or helping the tech-bro's skew the market for more cash.
Hold your nose and gulp it down princess.
You know the Monty Python opening sequence when there's all sorts of silliness going on - not to everyone's taste - which is abruptly ended by a foot stamping down?
That's Tricky's post, that is.
The MGW stutter tribute - and Eze misses.
Gabriel should've tried heading his penalty in.
If he’d been refereed properly this season then penalties would’ve been his undoing a long time before today.
