Re: Atletico Madrid in Semi Final
I can't believe people are moaning about the luck of the draw. We've absolutely skanked our way through to the semi final against the butchers, the bakers and candlestick makers of Europe.
Honest to god we've got this far by beating the bottom team in the Bundesliga (well actually we somehow lost against them despite them being Sunday league 6th division standard), the might of Belarus and Serbia, a team with less history than Wenger who were playing 4th division football in Sweden less than a decade ago and the Russians whose defence had to nip off early to get their zimmer frames serviced
Fuck me this has been one long pub standard competition and now we're finally meeting a team who might just give Mr 30 Years the spanking that has been promised in every round but which hasn't happened because of the sub standard shite we've been playing

This is what we have become!
We are being led by a so called lucky fucker who lost his marbles when the move took place..
Europa Pub League is our standard and we slip behind a good five sides now, thanks to his vision and that of ugly fucker Stanley Kroenke...

Re: Atletico Madrid in Semi Final
I can see the nightmare scenario becoming a reality.....Chelsea's implosion means a fifth-place finish which miraculously earns champions' league qualifications as the scousers somehow beat Bayern or Real in the final and open up another place for an English club.
So the odious old toad could get royally stuffed by Atletico and STILL cling on for the last year of his current contract by "winning" another virtual trophy in finishing a distant fifth.

Hard to disagree with this, all the same. But like I said, it would be so typical of Arsenal to play out of their skins, best Atletico and then lose in the final to Red Bull Salzburg on penalties.
Wenger is then subsequently confirmed for another two years....at which point I - and many others.....
Re: Atletico Madrid in Semi Final
To be fair, Roma is obviously a great draw but they earned that by hammering City at home and also winning the away leg; by contrast, City beat us home and away!

Re: Atletico Madrid in Semi Final
Also Chelsea came back from 2-0 down to win at Southampton (2 x Giroud goals) so are now back to 6 points ahead of us, Burney are winning 2-0 at home to Leicester so right on our tail for 6th, I'd say we are more likely to finish 7th than 5th but 6th is most likely.Ziegler1988 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 1:56 pm5th place never gets Champions League regardless of what happens with LiverpoolBob Bayliss wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 12:08 pmI can see the nightmare scenario becoming a reality.....Chelsea's implosion means a fifth-place finish which miraculously earns champions' league qualifications as the scousers somehow beat Bayern or Real in the final and open up another place for an English club.

If Wenger stays next season it's going to be laughable as his power base is slowly being eroded beneath his feet but he will still be there making his usual f*ck ups in front of 30K at the bowl and of course we'll "have no money" because of no CL football and our bloated wage bill relative to a lot of players ability (plus we need cash in the bank for SK but he wont mention that ).
If you thought this season was messy... anyone who still goes next season if Wenger is there needs their head checking.

Yep ! It doesn't bear thinking about, it really doesn't.

Re: Atletico Madrid in Semi Final
This season has been every bit as much of a train wreck as we predicted it would be if he stayed.
Other than by virtue of the conspicuous number of empty seats, why has he not been properly hounded by those still going to home games? The whole crowd aren't tourists and visitors. There must still be c20,000 "real" Arsenal fans who still suffer this nonsense every match. What is preventing them giving it to him with both barrels?

Not very accurate though, they said Wenkers biggest achievement was the invincibles, have they forgotten the glory of 4th place at the Hawthorns ?RobG wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 5:27 pmAs they see us :-

I fear it is the malaise brought on by agent wenger's apathy nerve gas which is sprayed liberally around the ground before the game. TOF follows that up by sending out a team which overplays the ball in midfield going from side to side and back again repeatedly putting everybody into a hypnotic trance of abject boredom. You have to be one hell of a person to have the strength to overcome this assault on the senses and be able to stand up and bellow "Wenger you senile old cu.nt why don't you just fuck off".
