Champions League Round of 16

You’d nearly fancy Pato with a bit of pace and a point to prove to get himself one. I know he hasn’t been in form but that shouldn’t matter - it’s just whether there’s enough time.

Can someone confirm the order of next weeks matches

Who is on Tuesday and who is on Wednesday?

Thanks Larry.

When can we expect to see you calling this tie as over with your famous catchphrase

Can’t wait to see Henry’s emotional goodbye afterwards.

Massimiliano Allegri. :clap:

If anything Arsenal can consider themselves lucky to have come away with only a 4 goal defeat

A pleasure chewy
I didn’t get a chance to post during first half chewy and would have posted it then. By the time second half came around I thought I wouldn’t belittle the phrase by using it then. However on mature reflection
ALL OVER RED ROVER

Looking forward to the second instalment next week when Ezequiel Lavezzi and co. destroy Chelsea in front of a raucous San Paolo.

Arsenal defence was poor but the midfield was worse. For the first goal Emmanuelson is chesting down a ball with Arteta only a few yards away. Not only does Arteta not bother getting in a tackle he runs 10 yards further away from him.

Arteta and Ramsey just didn’t want to do any work and left the defence exposed too often.

Milan were excellent though, Zlatan in particular.

Dunphy reckons football is in trouble. No good Brazilian player for the first time ever in his lifetime. No good Italian player. English league standard deteriorating. Manchester United not qualifying for the latter stages. Arsenal taking a hiding tonight. Liverpool falling to mid-table mediocrity. A 2-horse race in Spain. Italian football in decline.

Dunphy seems to be getting English football and football in general mixed up.

Arsenal 'keeper on ITV: “Ibra is the best striker I’ve ever played against”.

:clap:

That is like a couple of years ago when, over the course of two weeks, he dismissed all the CL quarter finalists chances of winning it out.

Has he ever been happy with football?

I feel for the likes of briantinnion, Monkey Allen and cesc4 tonight, I really do.

That was a quality rant in fairness to him. Just a pity most of it was completely wrong.

Thanks Bandage, after the negative headlines of the last few weeks those kind words have restored my faith in football and football supporters.

I’d also like to congratulate the wonderful Luciano Spaletti whose side had a wonderful late 3-2 win over Benfica today.

Schezny (sp) is an alright :clap: Missed the game but from reading here it sounds very very bad for Wenger.

typical anglophile

the story of the game was the Big Z-not some half wit manager from a dreadful league
