I still think city takes the title still

Nah Arsenal got it...the Aston Villa game confirmed it...if they had tied I would've been worried, but that, and NOW the Bournemouth win. I think we are going to get the title since fukking 2004 I Was 16 mate. Check my take as well earlier in this thread I still backed Arsenal even before the villa game I think?

Shouldn't take a while this page is a morgue these days sadly...

Wow, Anfield runs red with the blood of Ten Hag. Congrats on LPool for showing unequivocally, that Ten Hag is a bitch and his treatment of Ronaldo was awful.

First half was actually even despite one goal. United collapse into a pile of chit in the second half, Pool just floor the accelerator and never let up, whilst United kept on playing for a goal for themselves instead of beefing up their defense. Almost every shot on target by Pool found the net.


Embarrassing is an understatement, but loved seeing history made.

I don't think Ten Haag is a bitch he's still a great manager...I think what he did was completely right with Ronaldo. The classic "No player is bigger than the club" you could tell Ronaldo was throwing tantrums when he was getting benched at Utd, and even leaving the stadium earlier. Soljskaer would've folded like a lawn chair quick, and keep playing Ronaldo.

Ten Haag is a boss, and I'm saying this as a hardcore Arsenal fan. Even Portugal's coach cant remember his name during the world cup benched Ronaldo, and I think they still beat the swiss 6-1 or something.
So sometimes harsh times gotta come onto players.

The mistake Ten Haag did was saying in the lead up to the game to the press that Man utd will be "unfazed" at Anfield. Don't think I would've taken that approach that got Klopp and Liverpool riled up, and playing at Anfield is insane their fans will literally fight each other over arguments on who should start. I would've just said "It's going to be a great game, and a great atmosphere, and the boys will be up for it."

Feels so good that Arsenal finally pumping the angus of everyone. Back in CL.
Premier League would be a bonus. I think if Arsenal go into the City match +8 then then win the league.

The 7-0 was worst result in PL history id say.

That is about as easy of a first half hat trick as you can imagine. Two goals into an empty net even Raheem Sterling couldn't miss and a penalty.

Not that I was expecting much, but Leipzig started out well, and was hoping they would at least make it to halftime, but then conceded a soft penalty, and I thought welp...game over knew it as soon as Haaland scored the pk.

At least this Porto Inter game is still in the balance.

I kind of wish I could watch that game. On the other hand, watching history in City-Leipzig is good too. Five goals in an hour for Haaland.

This has been a poacher's dream game from Haaland. It's kind of been funny. Even Ronaldo never had a game with this many tap ins in such a short span.

I'll check the highlights in the UCL post game show. Yeah he's a freak of nature even one of my friends who doesn't watch much futbol texted me "Dude are you watching this City game?!" Lol

Ronaldo could have literally had this for his last few years. Instead he decided to be loyal and went to United.

can't believe those Italian kunts are surprised Frankfurt fans are destroying the city lmfao

single handedly banning away fans... what did they expect?

fuk them srs, you reap what you sow

[TokenV]

AC Milan/Napoli - Internazionale/Benfica

Real Madrid/Chelsea - Manchester City/Bayern München

so we'll get an Italian club or Benfica in the final

crazy

[TokenV]

Juventus/Sporting - Manchester United/Sevilla

Feyenoord/Roma - Leverkusen/Union

[phaginator]

Will Union win against ze germans though

[TokenV]

Lech Poznan/Fiorentina - Basel/Nice

Gent/West Ham - Anderlecht/AZ

[TokenV]

Will Union win against ze germans though

if they can play like they did against Berlin it's possible

but it's already unbelievable so it has to end once... right?

[ZeGermans94]

Interadasting...

I like the draw. I was convinced Man City would get an easy draw like Benfica. I know they are no "easy" draws, but benfica are one of the "lesser" teams.

My dream Final would be Bayern vs Napoli. I think if Real Madrid get to the final they crush the other side if it's not Napoli.

Def do not want to see something like Chelsea vs AC Milan or Chelsea Inter would probably be almost as boring as 2003 AC Milan vs Juve

who did Arsenal draw though ayyyyyyyyyyyy

any Nayim flashbacks yesterday?

ayyy that goal was amazing I can't even hate. Great traveling support Sporting has as well must've been a hell of a night in London.

Thank god we are doing well in the premier league, and I think we will win it, but man if that had been the champions league I would've been really upset.

real talk, it's not like Arsenal has the luxury to be picky when it comes to European competitions

international trophy cabinet of piss

The game wasn't fair, IMO. Arsenal had great chances they just weren't putting away and it came down to penalties.


My issue with resolving the game with penalties is that it puts the weight of the game onto the keepers, for starters, and it's not exactly getting the better team a victory. It's getting the luckier team a victory. I get there is still skill involved with the pens but if there's a penalty expert keeper in the mix, that'll decide the game. You're not really testing the entire team.

- aggregate
- extra time
- penalties

it's basically a last resort to determine a winner, what do you suggest as an alternative? (srs)

brb come back in 2 days and we'll play again (this actually happened quite a lot in the olden days lol, even in European finals lmfao)

I think you're saying this because Arsenal lost in pks lol. You're an Arsenal fan right. Like Token said there's no real alternatives really.

Hey props to Sporting their penalties were really good, and Ramsdale was going the right way for the most part even almost saved one.

Someone was bound to miss...I'm just happy for Martinelli for putting his penalty miss behind him, and scoring yesterday vs Palace. Das it.

[mandarino]

Why are you fussed with the skill of the keeper when you should actually be fussed about the statistic that heavily favours the team shooting first.

[ZeGermans94]

If only Xhaka could calm the fukk down.

[Barteh]

Barteh in shambles right now

Lol just seen this random post. Which match was this about?

Lol just seen this random post. Which match was this about?

the 2-3 home loss in the league against Feyenoord lol

[Barteh]

Ah yeah that was our last chance at the league. Now we're on the level of poverty clubs like Mechelen hoping we win the cup and then pretend it's a prize that's worth a lot.
