Nada.

Liverpool v Chelsea fight for the last UCL spot now.

 

[Firemans4Horn 18,034]

If Liverpool didn’t drop 4 points against WBA/Stoke next Sunday would be done and dusted.

So to avoid another thread, new kits for CFC. I think the home looks like something you would see on bus seats, so Mou is heading back to CFC apparently.

I dig the yellow, but I'm not aware of how the third kit flows with the historical color schemes of CFC at all.

 

Other two apparently.

And another pic of the home.

The rumors for the new Arsenal kit look like extremely cheap knock off jerseys from a third world country. I’m really hoping they aren’t legit.

[Captain Ron 12,868]

This is Sunday's lineup

[Jograves 357]

Some real barnburners!

Paul Merson said earlier this year that he’d dress up like a muppet if Huddersfield weren’t relegated.

Has nothing to do with Newcastle, we would be losing to the US national team with this effort.

Wenger becomes first ever arsenal manager to win an away game in 2018. Legend

[Captain Ron 12,868]

At the death City get it.  Wow.

[yoladu 4,090]

Typical.

off the top of my head I could name 4 last minute stoppage time points dropped by southampton. 

City (A) 1 point

Watford 2 points

Everton 2 points

City (h) 1 point

6 points. there are probably more, but that is off the top of my head.

No, Jesus scores with his right foot.

[sidis 9,823]

Was the city guy really offsides on the previous breakaway when they should have scored at the beginning of stoppage? I thought the far soton guy was keeping him on.

Didnt end up mattering but just curious.

Conte's done. His interviews today were of a man who wants to be sacked.

No midweek Stoke but still a trip to Wales, just not to Swansea.

Interesting graphic

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has finished the season with more EPL goals than Alexis Sanchez, and the same number of assists as Hazard. He didn’t make his EPL debut until February.

 

Also, Mhiki has been awesome. A poor man’s Santi on the ball, but faster and with more goals. And Laca is creating a goal/game. Whoever takes over at Arsenal simply needs to fix the defense and we’ll be back in business.

[Biscuits And Groovy 21]

Arsenal still need someone in midfield who can do what Santi did in terms of pulling the strings and dictating the pace of play. Mikhitaryan and Ozil are both final ball players but Arsenal need the kind of midfielder who can orchestrate an attack, and that's not really something either of them are suited for. Until they find someone like that I don't see them getting top-4. IMO Mikhi and Ozil are redundant to have on the pitch together, but the right manager could make it work.

[skipperj 377]

Well, Santi is like a new signing! Until he he gets injured again.

[Hagbard Celine 10,851]

Fulham are through to the final, 2-0 today, 2-1 in the tie.

Cue Derka’s 72 page PowerPoint on Jack Wilshere.

Does Arsenal want Conte? Tell me what to think.

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Neymar has apparently told his teammates that he’s done at PSG, which leads me to believe that he’ll typically end up at United.

villa 0 - 0 middlesbrough (1-0 aggregate)

villa are through to the final v. Fulham

the most expensive game in football

£170m  to the victor

if like me you are a fulham fan from the mcbride/lewis/dempsey era, and you have the opportunity or are already in country, this would be a must.

Saturday 26 May 5pm GMT-0, 2:45 before kickoff in Kiev... so if like me Pool are your "big side" then you would still be able to catch the 2nd half of that fixture.  Given the pub scene around Wembley, the best way to insure that would be to buy the VIP hospitality package with club access (£369):  http://surveys.thefa.com/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=721H77m2
