    Same here. Objectively a Liverpool win would be best for us, as Arsenal are by far the more credible challengers for a top four spot. But even considering that I can't hope for a Liverpool win, just not possible.

    I didn't actually say 'I want Liverpool to win'.

    Those words could never cross my mouth.

    Only a draw between them will do us any good now.

    So, the RS win. Now we have to wait beyond their Burnley game until they play City and Everton in consecutive games to see if we can make headway with our game in hand.

    Sakho is apparently playing so well for Palace that he has won MOTM twice in two matches. This is the player that #genius #kloppyflop thinks is useless and cannot play for the RS. Now apparently the RS fans are begging kloppyflop to get him back as their defence is absolutely useless without him.

    Will #kloppyflop see sense and realise he's made a mistake and swallow his pride and allow sakho back?

    So, the Chav's £500m new stadium has been given the green light. Won't be long before they have to cut back on player spending to cover the' unexpected spiralling costs' (the same as the Spuds in the next season or two) - fortunately we all get to watch the form of both clubs tail off as they move to their adopted home in Wembley for a couple of seasons each.

    Love this from King Eric -

    'The magician came into a town and transformed a bunch of half-talented football players into glorious champions but when the first clouds appeared the ungrateful brats conspired to get the magician sent away - traitors.

    'Leicester have actually fired the only coach that made them win anything significant in their unremarkable history.
    'When they are back at the end of the food chain they get rid of poor Claudio as if he was a flea-infested dog.'

    The Manchester United legend continued by suggesting that Leicester, 15th in the table, are where they deserve to be.
    'Foxes. Seventeenth place of the Football League championship - it's what you are. It's your DNA.

    'You aspire to greatness but you wouldn't know greatness if it bit you in the ass.
    'Hey, you kicked greatness out of the door and all you are left with is a coach named Shakespeare.'

    Lol

    But Arsene will not go. He wants to emulate Ferguson.

    Some pundits are saying that his going may be similar to the successful ex United manager. Nonsense. One went voluntarily after a magnificent career and a last league title. Wenger hasn't won anything for more than 10 years and their fans are desperate to replace him.

    He is already saying that his players made him proud on Tuesday. Trump's alternative facts anyone?

    Leaving the new manager in a totally hamstrung position, due to the fact that he only cares about himself and not the club.

    I always thought our "8-2 be an arsenal fan right now" was far better.

    Barca v PSG - definitely one of the stand-out games in the modern era.

    Absolutely - the contrast with Arsenal's attempt to come back from such a deficit is pretty stark. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, comeback in CL history, even puts Turin 99 in the shade, although largely cos we didn't **** up so badly in the first leg ;)

    Seemed to help that the ref was determined to give them a couple of penalties.
