UEFA Champions League (Part 2)

Atletico absolutely collapsing.

Don’t think I have ever seen a longer throw out by a keeper than that one from Pope. Amazing and a fitting end product…finished superbly well by Harvey Barnes.

Gordon on fire. Best I have seen him play.

Lot of goals and one sided matches.

Quite entertaining but……hurry up knock out stage.

Well we will make up for it all.

Arsenal piled a few on in quick succession. Another set piece got the breakthrough, but they have opened up since then and look fairly ominous.

My hope is we peak a bit later than last season and win the CL, but we have a lot of work to do to get to where we need to be.

Good shout. PSG were shite this time last year and then timed the run perfectly.

Hopefully Arsenal run out of puff at the business end.

And it’s 2:7

PSG significantly strengthened its lineup during the January 2025 transfer window with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. That literally turned the team’s fortune around.

I’m hoping Nigella Lawson is waiting for me when I hit the sack later.

I wish we could defend like Arsenal.
We seem to give up on clean sheets halfway through last season

Arsenal have a squad to cope.
2 decent players per position

I think they’re nailed on to win the PL this season unfortunately. Probably go deep in the CL as well.
Legohead has got them well organised, a midfield that functions and defenders who aren’t scared of the physical side of the game - 2 areas where we are sorely lacking right now.
I actually think they’d have a couple of titles in the last few years if it wasn’t for Arteta’s obsession with shithousery and cheating. Maybe he’s realised that.
Unfortunately I don’t see our situation improving. We’re a fucking clown show at the back with players who either can’t defend or don’t want to.

Only one person can stop arsenal winning the league and that’s the manager. If he starts with his negative crap city could win it.

Shall I send her round after she’s done at mine?

I don’t think they have that extra something to deliver a CL title. It’s a bit formulaic and dull. Also when things don’t go there way I’m not sure there is a plan B.

They will win the title that’s a given but I’m not sure about this.

It’s hardly a given. It’s October, a lot of things can happen from now till May. We could very well be right in it, as unlikely as it seems now.

As for the CL, they are among the favourites and their style is actually more conducive for it, but again at the moment they wouldn’t lay a glove on PSG. No team in Europe would.

We should disband the PGMOL and import our refs from the continent because refereeing there is so much better…

Season after season, Arsenal supposedly wins the title after just a few games, but somehow they always seem to end up choking. Nothing will be different this season. They start strong, and then once the injuries start piling up…

Looking at the angle, while it is a terrible call I can forgive the referee. But appalling conduct, and the video replay should have picked that up.
