There is that! Irony is, that they got me back on the board to engage in the banter (that they all missed), but now that I'm back, I'm being forced to take the piss out of myself in order to generate any kind of atmosphere!
This would actually be the funniest result if it stayed like this. It would be a case of so near but so far yet again!
I'm not that bothered. Neither Arse nor Chavski have any chance of winning the competition, but the longer they stay there the better the Premiership's chances of keeping it's four places in the CL
Credit to Arsenal. They look to be doing what Utd couldn't. But do you remember that 4-4 draw at Newcastle?
This Arsenal result is annoying in the sense that, irrespective of the fact that their group stage vacillated between average and shambolic, this crunch result will give them a mountain of confidence and a buzz to take carry them through until they get knocked out in the last 16 by decent opposition. Trouble is, that isn't until February, by which time they could well be riding the crest of this wave at the top of the PL table. Can someone please explain why Olympiakos now need 3?
Because Olympiakos won 3-2 at the Emirates and so if Olymiakos score 2 it means head to head they are the same and Arsenal have a better GD.
On one hand, I'm glad that Arsenal scrapped through, because it now means that they're bound to come up against either Real or Barca and face another humiliating defeat. On the other hand, it means that I am going to feel soiled all over again, and I'm still feeling soiled from their embarrassment in the CL!
They could get Wolfsburg, Zenit, Real, Barca or Atletico. I assume they still can't meet City or Chelsea?
Avram Grant linked with the Swansea job. Why? Do they want to get relegated? Another reason to be thankful is that, due to the young players in our squad, his "motivational" tactics would probably have him on the sex offender's register: http://www.espnfc.com/story/875555/luca-toni-bayern-boss-louis-van-gaal-showed-us-his-balls
