Bournemouth are shit.
Liverpool are shit.
Southampton are weird.
Burnley are shit away from home.
West Brom I don't give a damn.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'm getting to the point where I'm going to call Klopp Wenger II

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Niasse :haha:

He's lethal.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I like Lukaku.

I like Lukaku more than the Everton fan in the office.

[Master Splinter]

Fat Sam :haha:.

Jurgen Flopp :haha:.

Stevie Me's glorious return :haha:.

Marco Silva :bow:. What does he know about the Premier League?

Niasse :bow:.

Lukaku :bow:.

[Master Splinter]

Spuds 0-0 Boro at HT.

Kane missed a sitter then had a goal ruled out for offside.

Valdes gave Alli a few slaps. Which BT obviously kept going on about so as to assure the evil Spaniard gets a suspension for harming the lovely little tyke.

[Master Splinter]

Pel for the Spuds.

Kane scores. 1-0.

[Master Splinter]

De Roon just missed a sitter in the 92nd minute. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

1-0. FT.

De Roon :doh:.

[Niall_Quinn]

So if the gypos win tomorrow we are in 4th?

Get IN!

[AFC Leveller]

I'm not sure any sane Arsenal fan cares anymore whether we finish in the top 4 or not.

Te group stages are boring
The knockouts are pointless since we always fail at the first hurdle
The money and prestige hasn't done/gotten us anything special
The manager has failed to win it in 20 attempts.

Really and truly, we don't belong in the champions league and have no chance of winning it under the current management.

Dude, we've been Top 4 champions for the last 255 years. Do you really want that to slip away?

the way i look at it is, we might as well play in the champions league because wenger will still be here next season regardless

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Caballero, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy, Fernandinho, Toure, Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, G. Jesus.
Subs: Bravo, Kompany, Zabaleta, Fernando, Aguero, Navas, Delph.

Swansea City: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson, Fer, Cork, Carroll, Routledge, Llorente, Sigurdsson.
Subs: Amat, Britton, Borja Baston, Dyer, Nordfeldt, Narsingh, Kingsley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Jesus.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-0 Jesus.

Looks like Jesus is going to save them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling is so poor compared to the players around him.

[Niall_Quinn]

Siggurdson is almost as good as Sterling.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sterling :haha:

I'm pretty damn sure I could do better than that.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL 1-1

Sigurdsson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

Satan. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, who is #24 in defence for the gypos? He's shit. What a pathetic attempt at stopping the shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Jesus.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn these officials are one sided dickheads. You see the exact same thing happen twice but one's a foul and the other is play on. This time the gypos get the winning goal as a direct result. Well done ref.

2-1 gypos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT.

Satan. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

4th spot is OURS muthas! Success!

[Niall_Quinn]

Some might say that bringing in new players at key moments can impact a season. Or that shipping off dross like Nasri rather than persisting with him can have a positive impact. Some might say that but one of those who doesn't is Wenger.

[Ernesto]

# something tells me I'm into something good#

[Niall_Quinn]

No card for Pogba of course. About 3 fouls in a row there, one of them similar to Drinkwater's booking. But different rules for Utd. Which of course we've known for a long time.

[Niall_Quinn]

No booking for Rojo. Had no intention of playing the ball there. A classic foul and a simple decision for the ref. Which he made. It's Utd, so no card.

[Niall_Quinn]

WTF? Musa dives about 5 minutes before the challenge arrives. He had every opportunity to go for goal then. What a joke,

[Niall_Quinn]

Terrible miss by Rashford. Admittedly that would have been a good goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder if these "top" managers are a plus or a minus for players like Rashford? The kid looked natural and ambitious on the ball when he first broke into the team. Now he's playing like all the other robots.

[Niall_Quinn]

How on earth is that not a red for Mata?

Good grief.

Imagine if it had been Xhaka?

Neville thinks that because Mata doesn't normally make challenges like that then it's fine.

[Master Splinter]

Xhaka given an additional 9-game suspension.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was borderline says Hawthorne and Neville. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Xhaka given an additional 9-game suspension.

I think the difference was that Xhaka went in studs up and out of control and could have seriously injured the player (had he touched him) whereas Mata went in studs up out of control and could have seriously injured the player because he did touch him.

[Niall_Quinn]

It was borderline says Hawthorne and Neville. :haha:

I assumed they were talking about whether Mata should be arrested or not.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mata to score now I suppose. That's usually how this works.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dived in says Neville, didn't get the ball. At least he didn't go as far as to suggest Xhaka should be jailed.

Oh Schmeichal you shit. What sort of effort was that?

0-1 to the cunts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester are going down.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sigh.

0-2 Ibradonothingthengetasitterovich

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Zlatan. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Great management by Mourinho to sideline one of his most talented players for most of the season and then slowly bed him in when it's too late.

Also, Leicester :wave:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Leicester really lightweight in the middle. Okazaki dropping back to help has made it worse.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-2

Mata should have been off but the ref refused to apply the rules. So we've embarked down a different track that sees Utd in control rather than struggling with 10 men.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sky doing a bit of diving in themselves, just making sure everyone knows it wasn't a red for Mata. Well that's that tidied up. For a while there I thought it was one of the clearest reds you'll see all season.

[Niall_Quinn]

The cunt who should have been sent off has scored the 3rd.

Inevitably.

[Marc Overmars]

2 points above 6th.

Impressive.

[Niall_Quinn]

2 points above 6th.

Impressive.

Not even above us :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

This game is dragging now.

[Master Splinter]

Ashley Young sent on for a run-about.

Leicester :haha:. The ultimate humiliation.

[Niall_Quinn]

Red for Valencia there. Foot high was yellow. Going again with the studs, straight red. No card at all seems to be the outcome.

[Niall_Quinn]

Vardy raises his arm slightly. Just raises it a touch. Free kick, foul on DeGea. Alonso forearms smashes Bellerin. Play on. Goal. Had his eyes on the ball.

[Marc Overmars]

Ranieri is allegedly facing the sack.

What an absolute freak show Leicester have been over the past 2 years.

[GP]

They haven't even scored a league goal in 2017.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ranieri is allegedly facing the sack.

What an absolute freak show Leicester have been over the past 2 years.

You take the big money and you deliver or you are gone. That's how it works.

Except at Arsenal.
