I appreciate he is on a somewhat different level, but they are happy to play Yamal, whereas Arsenal seemingly prefer to play Trossard istead of their brilliant 17yo who is also capable of doing amazing things. (Nwaneri may be nursing an injury I suppose and it would be right to look after him if so - it's the only excuse that makes any sense.)

It is levels isn't it. I know you've got a thing about Trossard, but the Belgian does have 27 goals and 11 assists in two seasons from the wing, so he's doing okay.

Barca's youngsters are other worldly. Pau Cubarsi has played 50 times already at centre-back, and only turned 18 in January.

Not feeling confident about tonight. Berg is suspended after picking up a questionable yellow card v Lazio. Would bite your hand off for a narrow defeat.

You have to laugh at the jokers saying the PL is cr@p this season when you consider what would therefore be two of the cr@ppiest teams in the PL are in the semis of the Europa League.

San Mames is right up there as one of the grounds I want to go see a game in most. will be quite an experience for Man Utd fans attending I would think.

For me, it's been the worst season to watch for a long time.

So little to get excited about.

Hmm, just occurred to me - maybe because I've finally got TNT this season I've just been watching too much football!

2-0 up against 10 men! 8)

Defo a pen, so defo a red as well. Denied a goal-scoring opportunity without trying to make a genuine challenge

katweslowski Arsenal vs PSG

Mindnumbingly dull. My dead Great Grandmother had more life in her than the Arsenal crowd who barely made a noise. It was hard to watch the game as it was endlessly stopped by the ref, with some really odd decisioons. The worst of which was a so-called foul that Saka committed on the PSG defender. It was one of many poor decisions.

Arsenal looked fairly toothless and I think they'll get absolutely destroyed in the 2nd leg by PSG next week. Shearer is also a terrible commentator. I saw a post last night where someone described him as "growling" which is really accurate. He sort of screeches/growls when describing something, and often in the most basic, cliche and dull ways.

Arsenal's Tifo from last night looked absolutely pathetic. Apparently fans had designed one which was much better but the club refused to let them. Said "we'll handle it all". They certainly did... :oops:



I'm confused. Arsenal fans on social media were claiming it was the best atmosphere ever at the Emirates and it's not at all like Gooners to spout absolute bollocks on the internet now, is it?

Yep. Berg back for the 2nd leg, home advantage and Spurs being Spurs, still got a chance.

I really don't like the idea of a Man Utd Vs Spurs Europa League final, and I don't know why.

I reckon they'll both get confused, revert to their Premier League levels and stink the place out.

I dunno, 2 poor teams can sometimes make for quite an exciting game. Praying for defensive shambles all-round!

I think there needs to be a clause in the Europa League winner getting a Champions League spot for the next season. You should have to finish in the top half of your domestic league otherwise you just get to defend the Europa League trophy.

Which would mean a guarantee of six English sides in the Champions League next season.

I watched the Man United game last night and they were brilliant. Maguire - who I've always felt was poorly treated by fans - was excellent. So too was Bruno. Tottenham game I didn't watch but they clearly did well.

I think them two in the final will be really decent. Tottenham will bottle it though as they usually do. The occasion will get to them, the pressure of another trophy loss, and Man United being the much bigger club will be used to finals and big occasions.
