Wolves are Through to the knockout stages. The draw is on the 16th and im flying out. I couldn't make it to Braga in the rain.
Gabriel Martinelli is the man. He can be crap for the rest of his career but my man loves running around.
David Luiz looked alright in midfield and now he looks like he's broken a rib.
This Arsenal team has been unable to control the tempo of a game for a few years now. If the opposition is on top, they will concede.
We're now being out sung by a group of Frankfurt fans that are officially banned from attending.
The boos were so much louder than literally anything in the match I am 100% sure they turned up the mics on a section that looked feisty.
I think dino and his xG friends are bores but this is absolutely mental.
You should never have let Wenger go. He had at least another decade in him.
Celtic are going all the way
I was on both the 'Wenger should quit after either of the FA cup win's and 'Whoever takes over from him would be doomed to failure' bandwagons so I've come up trumps.
However, he's managed to fuck it up in a way I thought not possible. Arsenal always played well collectively and were let down by the individual. Now they play badly collectively and are saved by the individual.
"I think today we improved" he says after losing to a team in mid-table at home. He doesn't help himself.
edit: “I think we deserved more. First half we were happy. We lost control of the game for 15 minutes and they scored two goals.”
Ah shame we had no control over that really. I'll choose not to factor in that we were pretty mediocre in the first half and were 1-0 up of a scrappy Auba goal as usual.
edit 2: My bad the full quote is "Today we improved things but it wasn't enough." Imagine how shit we were before today...
Tomorrow is pay day and I get my pay rise back pay. Hopefully Emery confirmed sacked when I wake up to make it a triple whammy.
He's gone. Ornstein reporting it.
Official now.

Apparently the players were openly giving it 'Good Ebening' by the end
You could see it.
Came out of the ground on Saturday seething. That 5 minutes of the second half was the best I'd seen us at the Emirates all year summed it up. Didn't help that Palace played the cunt card so well and the ball was in play less than in NFL either, but it was unanimous amongst the faithful that he had to go and pretty clear the likes of Auba and Lacazette weren't feeling it.
Poch in? (lol)
I've seen quite a bit of Max Allegri chat, but is he really going to be all that different to Emery? Any old binman can win the league with Juve. I suppose he looks a bit more like a ranking mafioso than Unai.
at least unai can get back to the bureau de change now
Alegri and Enrique are uninspiring.
Arteta and Vieira romantic, though unexciting.
Pochetino highly unlikely, but I'd be well up for it.
They should hire Pottechino and on the off chance they win something it’ll be the best troll job ever.
This Maldon and Tiptree 'stadium' is glorious
Arsenal should 100% hire Chris Wilder.
I read that as Chris Waddle.
Just get eddie howe
So, the draw for Euro 2020 hasn't been mad yet, but already know 3/4 of Group B :/
Is that because they already picked the host cities?
Yeah, hosts play a part. Hence, if Ireland qualify, they'll be in with Spain as the Arriva hosts matches in that group. Hungary land in Germany's group. Romania would get Holland.
Yeah title might be over now lads.
Pep is a useless twat. Now relying on nuclear war or similar to stop Liverpool.
Ecstatic.
Leicester's to lose now.
Hard to tell which way the fantasy jinx is going to go today. I've dropped Salah, but also have Dunk, Ryan and Connolly on my bench.
How much Richard Keys and Andy Gray hate VAR is making me a fan of VAR!
This is the Spurs of several seasons ago, with a slightly more shit defence
A Mourinho team scoring more than two goals for three games in a row must be some sort of record.
Alisson
Braindead from Alisson and then also Adrian from the resulting free kick.
Further evidence for my belief that most footballers are little more than robots completely incapable of devising bespoke movements other than those they are used to doing.
Palace's game today was their first game outside of London for 3 months :/
Eleven points clear and we haven't even been that good for most of it. We're going to have to go some next level bottling to throw it away now. It's maaaadness.
