The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Saw that. Beautiful finish by Grigg. City dominated entire second half despite playing 10 x 11.

 

Not to overstate it, but De Gea's save at the end of the first half is one of his best yet.

 

Are they going to give all three countries a spot in the tournament? Even... Canada?

 

Arsenal up 3-0 on aggregate in the Europa League just gave up two goals in 30 seconds.

 

My epic fail in London last weekend. I thought the match was on Sunday and after a long day of sightseeing last Saturday, my 9 year old and I are watching Match of the Day on BBC One. Right at the end comes the highlights of the QPR-Bolton match, which I quickly realized was not scheduled for Sunday.

 

Oh man. That... Well, that sucks. Sorry.

 

Man City drubbing a lifeless Arsenal. Thought there would be more to this match as a cup final is a cup final.

 

If Burnley hadn't gacked it at the end again yesterday, I really do think they could have made sixth. Arsenal's only hope of salvaging their season is winning Europa.

 

Watching this Spurs game, with blue lines in a fairy-tale snowfall, is kind of super cool.

 

That second goal just now by Man City was freaking gorgeous

 

This year has to be it for Wenger.

 

One would think so unless they win the Europa League. After today, there are only 30 points left to win and they they have to make up 10 points on Spurs to get to 4th and also leapfrog Chleski (8 points ahead) in the process. That seems really a tough ask.

The Europa League certainly can be done, but no Aubameyang will make it harder.

I just don't know if you can rely on a 68-year old manager who hasn't won the league in 14 years and doesn't even get to the Champions League 2 years in a row.
