I admire the defence of his team, sadly this comes across as deluded

 

Arteta in talking ****e shocker …

 

He has PSG playing a special brand of football and playing like a team. Much like his Barcelona side.... cannot wait for the final

 

I can’t stand Arteta for exactly that reason. He is a terrible “loser”! Liked him when they started last season. Playing well, scoring and looking very good. Then he turned into that spoiled little brat he appears to be now!

I think they may move him on too

 

+1 for can't stand Arteta

Learnt all his worst traits from Pep but didn't learn the important good ones.

 

Another trophyless season, fanbase of whingers could he get the chop?

 

Yeh despite me not liking him and thinking he's overrated, I can't see Arsenal sacking him, yet.

Another season of 3rd/4th and no trophies could see them pull the plug next summer though

 

Speaking to a Boro fan the other day and he'd heard Carrick is staying. Surprising, if true.

 

Looking forward to a feast of football tonight. Main focus on the playoffs though, wouldn't be at all surprised if Bristol City get a win. Spurs, Man Utd and Chelsea should go through, weirder things have happened though. Fancy Fiorentina to go through against Betis.

 

Injuries galore at Ashton gate please

 

Are we having a match thread?

 

Could use the playoffs thread?

 

I had a look and there was allsorts on it mate, so I've put a thread up in case people are just watching that.

We'll see how it goes.

 

Not sure what game to watch tonight. Might just stick SSN on

 

Would always be European games over the championship for me but the play-offs are just different so it’s an easy choice tonight

 

Chelsea have started a 16 y/o in a European semi final. Mental.

 

Class. Good luck to the lad

 

Bilbao 0-1 up. Interesting...
