Football

Oh fuck off.

Bruce out!

(hope. not for realz yet)

Another shitty result last night, you've got to think he's on his last legs.

and Newcastle away to come next. Dead man walking now. Unbelievable how he has been unable to sort us out. Chopping and changing formations, bizarre selections, crap subs - it's all gone a bit Sherwood. SB was meant to be the steady, but unexciting choice.

Worst record in all of football in 2017. Fuuuuuck.

nice one UKIP

Worst record in all of football in 2017. Fuuuuuck.

Really?

Who would you get in to replace him?

Wonder what Nutall thinks of that, having been there...

You mean, of course, wonder what, former professional footballer and Hillsborough, Dr Paul Nuttall PhD, thinks of that...

The idea that close friends of his died was always going to be nonsense. Cannot imagine Nuttall having close friends.

haven't seen Barca play like that for a while, end of Rijkaard era springs to mind.
Got taken apart, no press, no urgency, lack of possession, no threat apart from the odd run from Neymar.
Could have been more than 4 in the end.
Don't see how they can come back from that.
Andre Gomes seemed particularly inept. What happened to Arda Turan, and Rakitic to add some bite and urgency into the midfield?
Will Barca stick with Luis Enrique, if they don't win La Liga and get turfed out of the UCL?

I don't think that there are a lot of people that expect Enrique to stay beyond this season.

replacement options? big name or club lifer?
Would Barca be in the hunt for the same options as Arsenal are looking at if they put Wenger out of his misery?

Wenger to Barca...

Apparently Messi will get consulted.

Do they want to give Messi that much power?
Need to keep him sweet and all, but he is still "just" a player and he's 29 so his career can go one of two ways from him, late career renaissance as he looks after himself, or slippery slope to irrelevance and a return to argentina, or big money move based on past exploits and brand recognition to China.

That's three ways. Kinky

Do they do Arsenal TV after European away games, fam?

Oh Arsene

Are you really surprised? What's Einstein's definition of insanity - repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

Hopefully UEFA will look kindly on Wenger and allow Arsenal to scratch from the return leg.

Arsenal will win the return leg 3-0.

First goal was wonderful but why was Robben given so much space?

And the worst penalty decision ever.

utter bow-larks Wenger..
