You gotta say, Sunderland have done it right this season. Instead of burning out towards the end of the season, they gave fuck all of a fuck for the first half of it, and then went all guns blazing for the second half. They'll finish high enough. MoN effect.
 
Sunderland showing how you easily do Arsenal over. Arsenal are fucking pussies when it comes to direct confrontation and closing down from the opposition. They're scared shitless every time and make mistakes easily. The Championship level defence doesn't help either.
 
Really thought that was in for a moment there...probably should've been a corner. There will have to be a surge in the other direction soon or big questions will be asked.
 
An Arsenal team with Fabianksi, Djourou and Coquelin at the back doesn't look that strong to me. Put men behind the ball, wait for a set piece and you are guaranteed to get something.

Everything is going as planned.
 
That bit at the end of the half just sums up Arsenal. Instead of getting it into the box they just keep passing it out wide, and then the half time whistle goes and the chance is gone.
 
If things stay the way are currently on European level this season so far, this would be the UEFA ranking for each country starting next year:

I mean.... behing Bulgaria. How can Glasgow teams be so zero-ish.

Because Scottish football would be a fairly exciting decent league like League 2 if it wasnt for Rangers & Celtic in there unbalancing it.

Its why I think the Rangers problem may end up being a good thing. Rangers will have to come down to the level of the other teams in terms of spending and Celtic will have no reason to have players so expensive to win the league every year. Overall the league may get closer and better because of it.
 
MON doing what MON does. Grats Sunderland fans. Pray he gets sick during the transfer window though. Let the board handle those.

European success? Oh wait, we're talking about Celtic.
 
Arsenal and Chelsea. If it wasn't for Spurs then London football would be in the dumps.

Sad part is Arsenal and Chelsea are 4th/5th.

Best league in the world?

The sad thing is I don't expect us to do any significant business in the summer market. Wenger will argue we'll have our defenders back so it'd be like new signings.
 
Boateng is injured again. No clue how bad it is as he's going for scans to his thighs.

Hope it takes him out of the Juve match. Only Milan player I seriously fear, as between Barzagli and Chiellini we've always been able to keep Ibracadabra in our pocket.
 
Montella is definitely going to park the bus against us, but I think we'll win this one.
Teams are not even bothering with tactics anymore against us, park the bus and you're guaranteed a point.
Krasic!

loloolololo
....

Last

Definitely! Boateng created their one and only dangerous shot on goal in Turin!

I'd rather they start Ibra than Sharaawy too :P
