    I think tonight might be the night that people realise that hope is in fact a very horrible thing to have.

    Just being realistic:)

    next year Spurs will be in the UCL for only the second time and could be drawn against the likes of Barcelona or Real Madrid or Bayern in their group - which will be the proverbial men playing against boys !
    So Hiag save the soiling yourself till next year

    The problem is they have no hope and no belief in themselves. Can the prof change that.

    Or will they remain especialistas en fracaso

  7. Jason Cundy - that twat presenter on TalkSpurt - was on a phone-in to the Hawksbee & Jacobs show, this afternoon, and he was trying to big-up Arsenal's chances. He reckons that Arsenal might be able to "get something" from set pieces.

    Yeah, I bet Barca haven't thought about that, what with them having three or four of the best set-piece specialists in the fcuking world!

    On the state of things at Liverpool, think it's best you're happy with 5!

    Isn't there a thread dedicated to Talksport already?

    Hold on, in fact aren't you the one that created it!

    Like I said 'hope' is a horrible thing to have. I'm happy to stick with faith <ok>

  11. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger speaking to BT Sport: "We need to defend well and attack well but that is easier said than done. We need solidarity and all the players to play at their best and then we have a chance."

    Anyone else get the impression that Wenger is trying to talk himself into believing that his team are not about to face a complete and utter twatting?

  13. The post could also go on that thread, yes, Trebs. Well done for spotting that.

    That can't be Wenger, there's no mention of... "mental strength"

    HIAG will be at bursting point right now.

    Sat on his mam's sofa, proudly adorning a Barca shirt, can of Dr. Pepper in one hand, his cock in the other.

    That will come at FT...


    'We lacked mental strength, that's why we lost. The ref was also at fault but I won't comment on that as I didn't see it'

  18. Let's always bear in mind that the team that is out on that field facing up to the likes of Neymar, Suarez and Messi, couldn't even beat Hull.

    It's worth thinking about, lads.
    <ok>

  21. 5 mins gone, and it's still 0 - 0.

    Arsenal holding on valiantly, here.
