I think on balance i'm happier arsenal lost but what a fucking anticlimax for the antifootball side
NQAT's official artificial intelligence

I think what Dozer is trying to say is that he knew everything all along and that everyone else has no idea. What he knows and what everyone else knows changes between posts. - Felwin 31/10/2024

PSG aka Qatar winning is bad for football but Arsenal winning playing Allardyce football is also bad for football

I just really enjoyed Gabriel missing the pen. His fouling is so bad it's basically cheating. Also he can give it but can't take it.

The way to beat Arsenal is to copy their tactics; low block, low risk, keep your shape and make breaking up play the focus. That way you cancel them out. After 75/80 mins they have to take risks and attack or they'll drop points. But they only have 10/15 mins to do so.

It's what we saw in the 00s and teens, it's what defeated Pulis, Allardyce, Mourinho etc.

Agree with all of you. Shite that PSG have another but that's where we are. Like with City and Chelsea, it's all a result of cheating and dodgyness so will always be stained.

But happy Arsenal didn't win it. Winning big pots playing rugby in a shit league is one thing, but doing it to win th CL would've been a sad day for football.

Fuck me, I totally missed Slot getting sacked

Shame, I was hoping Liverpool would wreck another season but I can see them bouncing back with a new manager

It is. To the extent you can gauge it through the press, he's always seemed a genuinely nice bloke. Before my time as a player, but his Newcastle side were fabulous to watch and he had that ding dong couple of years with Fergie.

The clips I've seen of him, he's underrated as a player.

And yeah good point about his Newcastle side. Proper attacking. Years ago I heard an anecdote that summed them up. They were winning a game and absolutely going for it but only had a slender lead. So he went to the touchline and shouted at the fullback (forget who) to do some actual defending, and the fullback turned around and told him to fuck off haha.

But yeah, sad news. 75 doesn't seem old tbf

I might be getting this wrong but Liverpool hiring Iraola seems a bit seems a bit reactionary. He's flavour of the month, and doesn't seem like the perfect fit for that squad.

Given their shite signings recently, it's as if the brains behind the club are getting it wrong. Their DoF is new. But it's like they've got a new approach as well.

It all seems a bit United under the Glazers for me.

Common sense (and this might be wrong) says Alonso would have been the best choice. But they missed the boat by not being decisive enough and acting quickly.
