That's something I'm actually grateful for. I don't want Bayern to be favourites. As shown again tonight, it doesn't work well for them. The players start believing it as well and don't bring their A-game.

I meant it in a sarcastic way.
But yeah. There is no deserving in football. If you win it, u win it.

You can't gloat, because if La Liga teams were shit and Serie A teams were GOAT, you would gloat for Serie A. You don't belong to one team.
Still, PL needs to step it up. We're dog shit.
Agreed. Winning is for winners; leave the "moral victories" to the rubbish teams like City
and Liverpool...

Hope Juve or Malaga win the CL. Fuck the rest
Maybe Dortmund too

Giroud and Gervinho could've scored, didn't. RVP could've scored against Milan, didn't. Bendtner (!!! of all fucking people) could've scored against Barcelona, didn't. Same old story.
If we deserved to go through, we would've gone through. Part of me suspects Wenger didn't even want to go through and just wanted to "restore pride" when he took off Walcott. 2 goals down, and you take off your top scorer. What the fuck.

Just saw rumours that Spalletti will get shitcanned if we don't advance past Basel tomorrow. The best part? Based Gazprom wants to get Mancini as a replacement in the summer.
Brilliant. Fail in Europe>>>Get Mancini.

Rosicky, koller and amoroso. Those were the days.Felt the same with Rosicky today, a shame that he was awful
Predicting a draw seems so pointless to me
Games I want to see in the next round then

Ouch
Would anyone vehemently disagree if I said that I'd rather have Rodgers than Mancini?
I like the way you think.
If this result doesn't motivate the players to what they will miss out on next season if they don't pull finger I don't know what will. We have the talent in the squad to do it, we just need to do it now.

Yes.
Well not vehemently, but Mancini is still a manager who has won multiple honours. He's had money and other things have gone his way, for sure - but he's still won stuff.
Performing at the top level of the game is the hardest thing to do.
Maybe Rodgers would have done the same, don't know.
Mancini isn't a brilliant manager but he isn't awful either. Don't think a crap manager would manage to win the amount he has.
Just seen the result. Tough luck Arsenal.
On the subject of best players, I'd argue Ronaldo and Messi are head to head right now in terms of sheer effectiveness and impressiveness.
Third hasn't been Iniesta, not last season. Would have had Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal, Chiellini, Barzagli, Buffon, Ozil, Busquets, Van Persie all ahead of him, off the top of my head.

I think he's average, and will be for his entire career, whereas Rodgers is average but could prove to be a very good manager in time. Could go the other way of course, but that's the risk you take with unproven managers.
Winning stuff when its all given to you means nothing to me. Like comparing a shit player who wins the league because of the players ahead of him to Gerrard
I would have Rafa over either of them.

Hixx/Wooden/FootballFan, FIFA now!
Walcott wasn't great, but he was still better than Giroud and Rosicky, who were both awful. At least Walcott gives you another goal threat, since we all know Gervinho cannot finish to save his fucking life. Giroud and Walcott up top, Ox on the right, Jenkinson on the overlap. That's more of a threat than what we got.
Great effort, certainly didn't expect that when I woke up. just think that when you're that close... what might have been.

Half of Juve and fucking Biscuits? Have you been hanging out with Andres or something? Get your stomach pumped, you have alcohol poisoning.
Uniteds midfield is a fucking gigantic glass house, why even bother throwing stones?

Cos it's shit and Cleverley still danced around Wilshere and co.Uniteds midfield is a fucking gigantic glass house, why even bother throwing stones?
Because Arsenal are fucking hilarious and we're top of the league
he hasnt been in form since 2010.

Easy to say.
Alot of managers manage super rich teams and fail to win things.
Mancini has obv had a lot of help, cannot be denied. But it's not fair to say he's been given the title and FA Cup at City. He took that team on to another level from where it was before. Okay, he signed some wonderful players...but he made City into a good team last year and they were worthy title winners.

Squad is way too reliant on Ribery and Schweini. As evidenced by today's game and last year's CL run.
Our midfield hasn't been that bad this season tbh. It's been decent since November.
I think it's functioned much better than Arsenal's and most of the other teams in the league.

Carrick and Cleverley have actually been playing 2 sided triangles.

That's about right. Carrick wasn't performing well until october, and he's been great since then.
I... uh... wtf?! Just woke up and saw that Arsenal beat Bayern? How in the world did this happen? Please tell me Arsenal was still awful for the most part and missing chances, because I really cant picture them dominating Bayern.
Anyway, hope this motivates the team more for the League and for the Top 4 finish. Dammit Wenger! Is Top 4 the only thing we will be wishing for every season?!
