Oh I agree they are far from being a big European team but while their fans can't be bothered turning up to watch them, they do have big tv viewing figures. We are officially the most watched European team on the planet which is why our remaining in the CL for as long as possible is beneficial, to us obviously, but also to UEFA. It's only the first season but I could see a scenario where the big clubs getting results that mean they are drawn against each other too early, meaning you lose half of them, could see UEFA having a rethink.
It’s defo the hope that kills you I know what the score says But Arsenal are going to come out and blitz this It’s a horrid game at times
Palace now 2 up v Fulham who really are a streaky counter attack side only. Spurs beating Ipswich 2-1, anything could happen there yet. Wolves 1 up very Bournemouth in a shock. Brighton beating Southampton 2-0 This could be a big day in the relegation fight where it's already 3 from 4 with Southampton all but gone.
Ffs That will galvanise Arsenal Can almost guarantee the win now Edit Commentator has just agreed with me - annoyingly he would have had one hell of a chance there
No chance. Arsenal are winning this and looking heros. Merson is on soccer Saturday desperately trying to jinx it so we don't need to be jinxing it as well.
Wtaf WHam throwing the game right there Why take your voice off Stupid Here we go free kick Going in this
Now spurs are out of any cups they are suddenly ona 3 win run. Probably tighten up once the europa ties come up and **** that then be brilliant for rest of season Spursy.
I don’t think that red has helped I think teams should be given a choice once the red has been established for denial of goal scoring opportunity Either penalty goal given or you can have player sent off so no double jeopardy but like Suarez for Uruguay in World Cup the team doesn’t benefit
Just looking at the chelsea line up. Barely know half their bench. What a mess. Playing 3 at the back imo has pushed palmer out of where he needs to be free to join the box and have shots and not really do much generally otherwise. Big game for villa
It is going to be nice if West Ham can nick another goal. Arsenal were laughing when we drew with Everton.
It is what it is. You cannot say 100% it's going to be a goal so unlike rugby you can't just award a goal and a penalty is too big a call. The rule is simply there to prevent or discourage big fouls to stop breaks. Skelly has now twice shown himself well capable of the dirt and also a wind up.merchent so refs should be watching him. Oliver did see a nasty pro foul.and they all agreed it was high contact and raking but Webb decided to feed him to the wolves as an independent panel decided arsenal couldn't be left short. Meanwhile oliver red carded slot for shaking hands wrong and he's falling over himself to say sorry and accept his charge rather than also ramp up the pressure on oliver.
