    Good first half that for us. Only slight regret is that we didn't score more. Lacazette had a golden opportunity and missed the ball completely, Ramsey was a bit unlucky with that bounce right on HT.

    Imperative that we keep a clean sheet in the 2nd half. If we can take a 2-0 lead to Napoli then I think we're in with a great chance of progressing and arguably knocking out the strongest team left in the comp.

    Yeah keep a clean sheet and in your in a great position, 2-1 won't look anywhere near as easy though.

    Yep, would completely change the tie. Difficult one for Emery to call at HT really, do we go for it and try and kill the tie tonight, because tbh Napoli look there for the taking. Or do we close ranks and try and protect the 2-0 ?

    All this talk about racism in football lately has seemingly encouraged some

    Really good result for Arsenal. 2-0 and a clean sheet to take to Naples. Only regret is that we didn't score more and kill the tie tonight. But overall, well pleased with that <ok>

    Genuinly didn't get it when i saw the headlines. 'Salah is a bomber' meant fook all to me, and never heard it sung before or anything similar. I eventually realised it was a reference to him being a Muslim after reading a few reports.

    Wasn't the German player Gerd Muller nicknamed Der Bomber!

    Also wasn't there a war film or commander called 'Bomber Harris'?

    A third goal would have killed the tie. Now I think you’ll have to score in Naples to be anything like comfortable.

    Dunno, always a tough place to go and Arsenal are dogshit away from home. They're in a great position but it's far from over imo.

    They have a bit of quality, Ancelloti’s no mug, and the atmosphere in Naples next Thursday will make it feel like Vesuvius is about to explode again.

    Spurly rates them. His comment is based on the back of everybody saying that teams are gash when Spurs beat them <laugh>

  20. Pixie often couches his predictions in wummery, Libs.

    So, he’ll say something like “It would be hilarious if Spurs lose to relegated Huddersfield!”
