    True, but still. The sport is obviously negligible when it comes to "football fans".
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    If I wanted to wind you up then I could point out that is a cheap shot coming from an Arsenal fan with their history. First team to field a full non-English 11? Chelsea. :wink:

    Oh, and isn't Robertson Scottish?

    Only heard of Ox and Milner. And if I had had to guess at Milner's club I would have said Man City :oops:

    Another English team progresses in Europe. It could be a very good year for them. And a chance of 5 teams in the Champions League. Again.

    You are optimistic on Arsenal's behalf.
    I cannot see anyone past AtMa winning the Europa.
    Arsenal need to play like they played in last years FA cup final. They will either play brilliantly or crap. Costa is fit too and so he will play alongside Torres.
    Will see what the draw is today.

    Never mind. I heard they were rubbish during the week.
    Arsenal v Chelsea escapees?

    This made me chuckle.
    Big 6 Prem League clubs (You know the ones. The ones that have used massive financial clout to price out other clubs and have bought players just to stop other clubs buying them) frightened that Wolves will have an unfair advantage over them.

    Perhaps should go into the irony thread.

    Good luck - you're going to need it if Atletico are on form.

    We have to make hay in the home leg.
    Perhaps 10-0 should give us a fighting chance.

    I think this is better than a 1st leg away from home and meeting AM in the final over 1 game.

    If I supported the defending champions and they beat a side in the bottom three I would get on the internet to mention it too. Stunning achievement.

    Anyhow, well done City. It's been a bit of a one horse race this year so hopefully it'll be more of a nail biting end to the season next year.

    In the meantime, looks like the City faithful are partying hard:
