Valencia v Arsenal, 20:00 (09/05 BT Sport 2).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I just have absolutely no faith in our players not to blow it in a pressurised situation.

We'll be the only ones to convert a first leg lead in to an exit of the Premier League teams.

:sick:

[LDG]

10-0 valencia

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You think they will take it easy on us?

[LDG]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so sick about football.

It’s a Dr Pepper moment.

Then we just need Utd to leapfrog us on Sunday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dr. Pepper at least tastes good.

[Marc Overmars]

I hope the players know the absolute lynching coming their way should they fuck this up.

Christ, what fucked up feeling not even looking forward to a semi final.

[Letters]

Yeah. If we don’t get to the final after this week then let’s all go and smash the Emirates up.


Remember when Spurs were the laughing stock every year? I miss those days

[GP]

Dr. Pepper at least tastes good.

Freak

[Mac76]

Freak

Got to agree :lol:

[Özim]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse after last night..

:sick:

We're in a good position and should be able to do it, trouble is an early goal and everything changes, Valencia will probably be looking at the two English sides turning it around as motivation.

[AFC Leveller]

Can’t see us going through. Valencia know we can’t defend away from home, they would have seen the recent comebacks and will be confident after getting an away goal.

[Mac76]

Assuming AMN is fit i'd play the following:

Leno (yes i know it will be Cech but just saying what i'd do...)
AMN
Socrates
Kos
Monreal
Kola
Torreira
Guendouzi
Ozil
Laca
Auba

Bench:

Mhki
Iwobi
Cech
Eddie
Willock
El Neny

This poor run in the league has been punctuated by good results and performances in Europe. I think we have a good chance later. Don’t fancy our chances against Chelsea in the final but who knows.

Football has officially gone mental.

[GP]

If we don't progress tonight Emery should go.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Can’t see us going through. Valencia know we can’t defend away from home, they would have seen the recent comebacks and will be confident after getting an away goal.

Not entirely true, we defended very well against Napoli away from home

[Globalgunner]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse after last night..

Zim. She left you?. If you treated her better she might have stayed.

[Marc Overmars]

If we don't progress tonight Emery should go.

No doubt.

We absolutely need to win the Europa League to add some gloss to an otherwise poor season.

[Letters]

Go out tonight
Spurs win the CL

Emery out and GW suicide pact?

[Özim]

Zim. She left you?. If you treated her better she might have stayed.

:lol:

[Özim]

No doubt.

Definitely, but even if we get through tonight, the final is a lottery, Chelsea have a better team/squad but it's a one off game so unpredictable.

We need to win this thing though if we don't this will have been a very poor season.

[Marc Overmars]

Go out tonight
Spurs win the CL

Emery out and GW suicide pact?

:good:

Still can’t believe what I saw last night. Fucking Spurs.

How times change.

[Globalgunner]

Chelsea will likely have qualified for the CL by this weekend so winning the EL wont have the same motivation for them as us. I dont expect them to do us any favours anyway, but our need is certainly greater. Absolute last chance saloon.......If we can get past Valencia, that is.

[Letters]

We need to win this thing though if we don't this will have been a very poor season.

See. I basically agree. But it's really fine lines. Let's say we progress tonight.
We might play really well in the final and lose to some crappy referee decision (although VAR may mitigate that) or some stupid lucky deflected goal.
And that's the difference between a good season and a bad one. :shrug:
It will feel a lot different I agree but is that really the best way to objectively measure a season?

[Letters]

:good:

Still can’t believe what I saw last night. Fucking Spurs.

How times change.

It keeps hitting me. I'm just minding my own business and then it hits me again "OMFG, Spurs are in the CL Final!!"

:sick:

Fun this shizzle.

[Mac76]

Go out tonight
Spurs win the CL

Emery out and GW suicide pact?

i'm in :ninja:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Go out tonight
Spurs win the CL

Emery out and GW suicide pact?Absolutely.

Jonestown will look like a kid's birthday party compared to that desolation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal you useless fucks. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have we lost BT's commentary?

What a time to be alive!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh piss off Humphrey, let us just hear the crowd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Kos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal knew what he was doing. :cool:

:unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guedes shoots, miles wide it goes.

[Mac76]

Here we go... :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maitland-Niles cross but ends up being a shot straight at Neto.

1-0 Valencia, Gameiro. :doh:

[Munchies]

Fuck sakeeee

[Marc Overmars]

We’re losing already.

Shock, horror..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great block from Gameiro!

[Gooner23]

AMN getting roasted, needs some support

[Munchies]

Goal

[Mac76]

YES!!!!!!!!!!! :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodrigo hammers it, wide.

Not even a contest right now.

[Thierrymon]

Aubangayang!

[GP]

GET THE FUCK IN!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!

COME ON YOU CUNTS!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Auba!!!

We’d be in the gutter without his input this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba!!!

We’d be in the gutter without his input this season.

26 now.

Him and Lacazette are the only chance attacking wise we have of doing anything for the foreseeable.

[Gooner23]

We're only a midfield and defence away from being a good side :run:

[Mac76]

YES!!!!!!!!!!! :scarf:

Finally i'm ahead - that's the beauty of analogue radio... :lol:

[GP]

We're only a midfield and defence away from being a good side :run:

And manager.

[Master Splinter]

Why is Ozil playing here?

It's madness.

Get some non-pussies to play behind Auba and Laca next season and we might have something decent. Ozil is spent. Mkhitaryan is horribly inconsistent. Iwobi is Hleb. Ramsey has gone.

Two brilliant forwards going to waste otherwise.

[AFC Leveller]

Our two strikers are too good for us are just about the only good thing we have going for us. If we can manage to keep them and invest properly then we can be a good side. Barca Liverpool rally want Laca according to reports.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We'd have to concede three more to go out now.

Anybody done that this week?

[Master Splinter]

We'd have to concede three more to go out now.

Anybody done that this week?

Barcelona :haha:.

Ajax :haha:.

Might as well get it in before the inevitable.....

[AFC Leveller]

I know we don’t need to win but it’s oretty obvious Emery has told the players to play for the draw. We are showing no intent, keep passing it about for the sake of it,

[Gooner23]

The difference between Ozil and Ramsey in these tough away games is so obvious. We desperately need to find a decent replacement for Rambo in the summer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coquelin is still Mr. Arsenal.

As he is dead.

[Master Splinter]

Auba the massive thug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona :haha:.

Ajax :haha:.

Might as well get it in before the inevitable.....

What a bottle job. :haha:

:sick:

[Master Splinter]

The difference between Ozil and Ramsey in these tough away games is so obvious. We desperately need to find a decent replacement for Rambo in the summer.

And also not play Ozil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba shot, tame for Gravelord Neto.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful pass from Lacazette.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Parejo freekick wide. :lol:

[Gooner23]

And also not play Ozil.

The current alternatives don't fill me with much confidence either though

[SMatthews]

The difference between Ozil and Ramsey in these tough away games is so obvious. We desperately need to find a decent replacement for Rambo in the summer.

One that spends more time on the pitch than in the treatment room would be a plus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Garay booked, run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF Laca?

[AFC Leveller]

Laca hits the outside of the post after a good run by Auba

[Master Splinter]

FFS Lacashite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Please don't post about other current running games in this thread.

[AFC Leveller]

Yellow for gaya for a dive

[Mac76]

Gaya booked for diving :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gaya booked for diving.

:haha:

[Mac76]

1-1 HT

It was horrible when they scored but well done Auba

COYG

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. :popcorn:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Please don't post about other current running games in this thread.

The legacy of Jens Face lives on!

[Gooner23]

Auba has been on fire, spent most of that half sprinting from one end to the other. Just one more goal and I might start to relax!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Auba has been on fire, spent most of that half sprinting from one end to the other. Just one more goal and I might start to relax!

GlobalGooner will still be slagging him off.

[Master Splinter]

Coquelin defending well for us.

[Mac76]

Laca :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[SMatthews]

All about the other semi now.

[Master Splinter]

LACAZETTE!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!!! COME ON!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Auba has been immense over both legs.

[SMatthews]

Think we might score another. Valencia look dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba and Laca have been fantastic tonight. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka's freekick. :haha:

Twat.

[Master Splinter]

Xhaka FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Piccini off, Soler on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2. What a calamity. :doh:

[Mac76]

Uh-oh...

[Thierrymon]

2-2. Only we could feel nervous with what is essentially a 4 goal lead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka fucks up a yard pass somehow.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Xhaka, Torreira and Ozil, have been virtually passengers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut hauled off, Mkhitaryan on.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Parejo one upping Xhaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Garay hammers it, just wide.

[RomfordPele]

Ffs. I have no confidence in this team to close things out competently.

[SMatthews]

Thought so. Auba again.

[RomfordPele]

I withdraw my previous comment!

Auba!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!! COME ON!!!

[Mac76]

Job done :cool:

[Thierrymon]

Woohoo! Aubamayang

[Master Splinter]

AUBAAAAA!!!

[SMatthews]

Mustafi on. All bets are back on.

[AFC Leveller]

Mustafi coming on.

Huge lifeline for Valencia.

[AFC Leveller]

Auba is a fucking goal machine. What a record he has.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi on.

Take him back Valencia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodrigo off, Santi Mina on.

[SMatthews]

Auba is a fucking goal machine. What a record he has.

He hasn’t got his full due since coming here even with all the goals. He needed a night like this. He’ll cement himself as a real fan favourite if he does it again in the final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira off, Guendouzi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They need four goals Darke you bellend.

[Master Splinter]

He hasn’t got his full due since coming here even with all the goals. He needed a night like this. He’ll cement himself as a real fan favourite if he does it again in the final.

Guys like Koscielny, Monreal and Auba aren't appreciated because of the feeling of nothingness around the club for nearly a decade. Good players are written off as a consequence of the black hole of negativity.

And also because most people are overly emotional/thick.

[GP]

Sick Green Day reference.

[Mac76]

Gaya :haha:

[SMatthews]

Auba :bow:

[AFC Leveller]

Hatrick for Auba wow

[Thierrymon]

4-2 Auba hattrick

[Mac76]

Auba hatter!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG HAT-TRICK!!!!

SENSATIONAL!!!!

[GP]

What a performance!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia need five in injury time. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Auba has shat on them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[GP]

WELL DONE BAKU!

[Mac76]

Arsenal :bow:

Great work - EL final here we come... :)

[AFC Leveller]

The good thing is that the final will be onanneutral ground, no away day blues for us hopefully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 2-4 Arsenal, FT!!!!!

We're off to Baku!!!

European final. :bow:

What a bizarre ending.

Gabriel. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

The good thing is that the final will be onanneutral ground, no away day blues for us hopefully.

We're brilliant away in Europe tbf.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Emery's hugging the opposition manager whilst we're having a punchup!?? WTF...

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Auba unplayable today.

Second best minutes to goals ratio in the prem too this season. Get's slagged off way too much considering.
