Fricking Roma screwing up my accumulator for £600...

I now hate BATE Borisov forever.
 
Haven't Arsenal won the FA Cup 2 years in a row? Try being a fan of a team outside of the top 4-6 my friend, then you'll know about truly being let down by a football team.

Edit: Not ragging on you btw, just Arsenal are one of the most successful teams in the history of English football :D

Very true but they and their fans are getting that bridesmaid syndrome going. Always in the competition but never winning the EPL. And now our manager made some roster decisions for the Champions League that resulted in us getting knocked out in the 1st round. You're very right Arsenal, to borrow an NFL analogy, always make the playoffs but rarely make a show in the playoffs. Just good enough to not disappoint but not good enough to win it all.

While that may be true, even being in the Champions League is an achievement in itself. An achievement that most clubs have never had, and aren't ever likely to experience. Only one team out of hundreds of hopefuls can win the champions league each year, each one of them successful to varying levels in their respective domestic leagues, Arsenal being one of them. This being why Arsenal's lack of champions league success shouldn't be considered a big deal as far as i'm concerned.
As I say, Arsenal have won the FA cup 2 years running, that's more success than most clubs have ever had. My team Middlesbrough for example, have one won the Capital One cup once in our entire 139 year history; That's it, nothing else.
 
I know it's bad karma but Mourinho crying like a baby after another loss brings me so much joy. Let the downfall continue.

Now if City could stop playing so well...

West Ham fans I didn't get to watch the game today and one of my favorite players Yedlin started for Sunderland. How did he look?

I was in the pub watching it, and well to be honest I never really noticed him. Sorry!

First managerial casualties of the season today. Advocaat has left Sunderland and Rodgers sacked by Liverpool.
 
Haha it's cool. I'm sure he was better than United playing two midfielders at back today smh...

He looks like he belongs in the Premiere league when he goes forward, but he got caught ball watching on one goal. Still learning defense.
 
Can't wait to get home and watch the Sunday matches I recorded. Looks like Alexi is willing to be the goal scorer Arsenal needs.
 
Tubsy,

What the fuck is that kit Brum are playing in tonight??
 
That was a hell of a match between Bayern and Arsenal. Glad I took an extended lunch to watch it!
 
Love Ozil's style of play, it's gonna be tough scoring points in Allianz but it's doable. Arsenal is best suited for the counter-attack style of soccer and I hope it continues.
