    Big Emi - amazing. Matty & Leon - superb. And shout out to Ollie nailing that pen with the pressure of waiting and his dodgy history. That was truly excellent. Straightforward semi please. I can't take that again. PS - proof I think that this is not a 3rd rate trophy. It really means something.

    Can't take this

    What a strike. Take a bow, matty

    Some amazing brutalist stuff around though - you can have both that and older stuff working together. eg National Theatre/South Bank, Barbican etc. On topic - we really need to watch the cards tonight. Don't need anyone being banned for the semis (if we get there).

    Nice. Strong lineup with Bailey and Rogers to come if needed. If we get a decent lead could give the kids a run out.

    Seems to be working (currently) sans VPN. After something about garlic, asparagus and artichokes they are in full on preview mode with a previous manager and talking about Villa fans without tickets in the fan zone. My 35years in the past a-level french is struggling to manage more than a surface understanding. Let's hope they don't move on to low-block transitions.

    Must check that out. I'm further south, but it's not too bad to get to.

    Go full strength, bag a first half goal, rest a few for the last 20/30mins ideally. I fancy Rogers to continue his improvement and score again tonight.

    I reckon anything over 70 will be plenty. Spurs not likely to get more. But as everyone says, important to get those on the board sooner rather than later.

    Winning a european trophy would be amazing. Getting 4th in the PL would be amazing. Both would/will be fan-bleeding-tastic. What a season we are having to even be able to have this debate.

    I have to say I've not really been that interested in CL before the final before, but the coefficient thing is rustling my jimmies.

    City and Arsenal are level in their ties. We are ahead in ours. West Ham were always unlikely to progress. Liverpool is the only really bad result and I wouldn't write them off completely yet. Glass is half full this season.

    Watching back again I was amazed by how chill I now am with the passing around at the back, even under immense pressure at times. Thinking back to when Emery started out on this journey and I'd be having a little nervous breakdown every time (though TBH they are much better at it now). We've come on such a long way.

    Hopefully someone gives Cole Palmer a kick in one of those games. Chelsea are a 1 man team at the moment.

    Games at the end of the season always throw up anomalies. Sheffield may (though unlikely) play with freedom once relegated, Burnley might still have survival to play for. Not really any gimmes in this league. I think 3 wins will be plenty enough for us. And I think we'll get them.

    Just realised I'm at a do with my wife's gooner boss...starting at 4.30. Will have to savage the free bar.
  18. rubberman
    Yes please! 3-0

    Opta's latest view - much the same as above - has 57.8% chance of the extra place, but down from 82.5% before this week's round: https://theanalyst.com/eu/2024/04/will-fifth-place-premier-league-qualify-champions-league/ Although FFS... Given that their own 'supercomputer' gives Man U a 3.5% chance of getting 5th that is really crap.

    So now we need Arsenal to be terrible this weekend and then amazing again next week.
  21. rubberman
    So key this game. Winning takes a bit of pressure of hte PL performance with the coefficient stuff. Much as I'd love 4th and a 'traditional' CL qualification place (Wenger's 4th place trophy), I've shifted to this actual trophy and 5th now. (whynotboth gif) Could really do with an emphatic victory so the return leg is made irrelevant, though that will be tough. Unai cup magic plesae.
  22. rubberman
    Yes, but unfortunately Chelsea are also terrible. Let's hope they have one of their good days.
  23. rubberman
    Meh. Did pretty well, but not enough quality depth in the end. Hope they do the same to spurs.
  24. rubberman
    Need to keep the concentration up for the next 20mins then see if we can grab another. No silly mistakes though.
  25. rubberman
    Oh my. Let's hope there are some Unai tactical shenanigans on the way, cos that is not terribly inspiring. Anyway - cmon lads - make us eat our words Might ditch the match thread I think.
