Martin Samuel has taken the day off as ambassador for Manchester and outlines the new CL stitch up in the Mail this morning. Second rate teams at top rate prices locking in their places at the grubby pig trough behind the hype. If there's some higher being directing the fate on mankind then please, let Leicester win it this year. I think I'd laugh for a month solid.


Too true, about Cavani, I have always felt he was massively overrated, admittedly he looked great at Napoli but since he's moved on from Seria A he's looked a lost cause. His goal was good last night but he misses so many chances, last night wasn't a first for him either.

I found Chris Waddle's commentary on BT Sport 2 pretty amusing, he said we as in Arsenal are one of the best teams in CL at passing

Has he not watched CL for a while? There are a dozen teams better than us at passing in CL IMO.
