Though we missed a trick not snapping that showboating cunt Costa in half. Need to catch him first like.

I only saw the first half but that was a full on molesting for Arsenal.
The commentator said 'at least they drew the second half 1-1'.
Optimistic as fuck.
Didn't Bayern score two in the second half anyway?
Oh and what's this with Andrew Cole. Kidney disease has changed his appearance? I had visions of him going full on Michael Jackson or something.
Gabriel should be sacked for that first goal. It's actually disgraceful how unintelligent and lazy he's been there. Just do your job and track the runner.
Second half they were lucky to escape with the points.
How has Neil Warnock managed to shoehorn his way back in at QPR? He returns to the club as an 'advisor' three weeks ago and now Chris Ramsey gets the sack?
Absolute acid.
Overall, I felt we lacked sharpness tonight.
Gets teams up from the Championship.
They should be in the top six at least, tbf
#onelastchallenge
They're only six points off that though.
And they've been utter gash this season. That they're close to us is example enough of how bad they've been.
Test.
Setanta are showing 3 games on the trot. I thought Spurs were the middle one though but they're 8.
Great finish there by Ibe.
Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Alli, Dier, Lamela, Mason, Eriksen, Kane.
Seems to be going for this.
Trippier was awful in Belgium, hopefully he's had a kick up the arse for this one. I like the competition and it'll be good to go into Sunday on the back of a win,
Maybe the coefficient situation has been brought to the attention of various clubs.
Doesn't bother me too much tonight as they're surely pissing into the wind on Sunday anyway, so no point in resting players. A decent performance and no injuries would do.
Pissing into the wind on Sunday?
That rapid Vienna goal
I'm a twit
Arsenal at the Emirates? They're improved, but they can't cope with those kinds of teams away.Pissing into the wind on Sunday?
Is that FM legend Okaka?
That was lovely.
They really can.
Go on Kane, keeper had no chance for that one.
Arsenal have too many players on a level above anything Spurs can perform at. They just get overrun in those type of games.
Looking better tonight after a terrible start. Some good looking forward movement.
Delle Alli certainly likes going over easily
So how would you explain beating City 4-1 if that's how football works?
He looks knackered to me, big jump from League One to the level he's at now, could do with a rest considering the busy Christmas period coming up.Delle Alli certainly likes going over easily
That's been coming.
Vertonghen
EDIT: Some hit from Dembele though.

BrilliantThat rapid Vienna goal
It's hard to see past Napoli/Dortmund for the Europa. A final with Arsenal is definitely on the cards for one.
We should probably throw our last couple of CL games to drop into the wafer, as it's the only way we'll be getting back into it next year. Although a hilarious rearguard cunt to CL glory would be very funny as well.
This side probably has more hope of shitting their way to the Champions League than of winning the Europa League. To win that they'd have to actually try against mid-tier sides and they're obviously not going to do that.
Wenger“The only time for happiness is the present. The past holds regrets. The future uncertainties.
“Man realised this quickly and created religion. It forgives him for what he has done wrong in the past and tells him not to worry about the future as he’ll go to Paradise. There’s great advantages to this. Man is very early on ‘self-pyschoanalysed’ through faith.”
On how he finds meaning in his work, he adds: “In the religious world, it is said that God created man. I am only a guide. I allow others to express what they have in them. I have not created anything. I am a facilitator of what is beautiful in man.
“I define myself as an optimist. My constant battle in this business is to draw out the beauty in man. At this level that can portray me as naive. At the same time, it allows me to believe it and it often gives me reason.”The sort of stuff Brendan thought he was saying.
Of all the smilies you could have used in connection with that passage, that should have been the last.
He sounds like a nutcase.
I play a large part in running a cricket club and the other night we had a meeting of the sort that football people probably have in May or June, to plan ahead for the following season. At one point I found myself saying 'the group' to refer to the squad, and immediately apologised to all involved before promising to shoot myself with a rifle emblazoned with the word 'outstanding'.
However I needn't have worried, as soon afterwards one of my colleagues, who has a sports science degree and all that jazz, declared that our training needs to improve its 'ecological validity'. I shouted 'that is bollocks' as a sort of animalistic reaction, and he was a bit pissed off, offering to 'show me the textbook' in what appeared to be a serious educational proposition.
What is it about sport these days that encourages such wank?
Graeme Souness told a story where Shankly was asking the Liverpool team what all these new tactical words meant, he didn't have a clue and they were the best team in the world. The rest of the podcast is pretty good because he keeps on passive aggressively suggesting that Graham Hunter is a total knob.
Which one?
'Sports Science' is such a modern construction that it's essentially a blank canvass where any half baked idea can gain traction. And most of the 'experts' are dimwits in the first place so it's coming from a low base.
The Big Interview with Graham Hunter.
It's interesting to hear from some of these people in a longer format but he doesn't half tongue their arsehole. He tried talk about Sampdoria 'and the magic of the city' and Graham Souness basically goes 'Piece of piss, so easy, I could have played till I was 40 there. Shit league'
Ray Wilkins tells a good story about Souness. Rangers were three or four goals up during Souness' spell as player/manager and he was preparing to bring himself on with about five minutes to go. Wilkins noticed and went around every player on the pitch, telling them they were to avoid passing to Souness if at all possible. He finished the game without touching the ball (I'm not sure I buy that part, since he'd have been flying into tackles even at his advanced age), and went bonkers at the team afterwards. After a couple of days of death stares and shouting he saw the funny side and calmed down. Then sold him.
I was going to say, I wouldn't take Graeme Sounness's opinion of his abilities as a particularly reliable indicator of the strength of Serie A. He seems like he'd still fancy himself to play at the top level now given the chance.
Oh totally, it's more the sheer contempt he holds Graham Hunter in after several podcasts where you're wondering if the subjects are touching each others winkies at the same time.
Is Hunter the pundit who first coined "Pep"? Tosser.
I'm pretty sure Pep is just short for Josep, i.e. the Catalan wanker equivalent of 'Pepe'.
Behave. When the geezer speaks you have to listen and learn.
