Couldn't find a betting site in time, hooray!!!!!!

I will say this about Arsenal this year and last, we are starting to win the type of games we haven't in awhile. Sure, we still pissed away a bunch of points early on in the season that killed the EPL for us and yes we STILL have stupid fucking matches like against Monaco, but we are beating the Manchesters now and winning trophies.

Just have to figure out the injuries and buy more talent. Wenger was going that route with Sanchez and fucking Debuchy, but he stopped too soon and it cost us when the injuries came.

This Chelsea/PSG match is something else. The ref lost all control in the 1st Half and it has been hilarious to watch. Is Costa the perfect Chelsea player under Mourinho?

He is such a bitch, so he is perfect for Mourinho.

That was a really bad red card. Definitely a yellow with a stern warning, but a red in the Champions League? Ref was horrible today. Glad the Evil Chelsea has fallen.

Would've been nice if FUCKING ARSENAL didn't let inferior Monaco beat the shit out of them at home so they could advance to the Final 8, farther than Chelsea.

There is no better team in the world than Arsenal in the Premiere League when they are already out of the title race. Unstoppable.

Tottenham is a good squad that obviously came to play today.

That was pretty funny, probably the only time I enjoyed one of his dives.

Fucking Wenger believes in this insane strategy of just falling back on defense 100% whenever he gets a lead, no matter the size. First half against Newcastle we dominated and led 2-0. We haven't even attempted any offense in the 2nd half and it's 2-1 now and that's fortunate as it should be level.

30+ minutes left of this nonsense.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #460 on:** April 05, 2015, 11:24:49 AM »

Liverpool and Tottenham are 8 points behind of 4th place and barring a collapse, the Top 4 is decided. All that is left is positioning.

Right now, Arsenal is in 2nd with Man U 3rd and City in 4th, but City plays tomorrow. If they hold, they go back to 2nd, a point ahead of Arsenal. Chelsea bought themselves a title and that race is over.

Manchester Derby next week, so someone is dropping points to Arsenal. 0-0 tie would be ideal but unlikely. In the end, I would say Arsenal takes it because they are in great form, but they are the only team with competition outside the league still going on with the FA Cup and they have been known to "Arsenal" games they have no right losing. Looking at you Monaco Leg 1.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #461 on:** April 12, 2015, 10:18:47 AM »

Fucking Chelsea does it again by scoring in the 88th minute. They have the be the shittiest great team I've seen so far in the league. They always win at the last second. Seems like Arsenal has dominated more games, they have just dropped more points due to injury and their usual 1st half nonsense.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #462 on:** April 12, 2015, 12:57:54 PM »

Barring a collapse, Arsenal will finish 2nd or 3rd thanks to Man City just dying and making sure Pelligrini is fired the moment the season ends.

Progress!

Side note, Van Persie is not needed since MU plays better without him.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #463 on:** April 13, 2015, 08:25:25 PM »

Liverpool has an outside chance to catch City for 4th. 4 points behind with 6 to go. City will have the edge on goal differential unless something crazy happens to swing a 20 goal advantage, so it's really like 5 points. City should hold on since their remaining schedule isn't very tough.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #464 on:** April 13, 2015, 08:47:01 PM »

City have lost 6 of 8, so all logic is out the window with them at this point. If they finished out of Europa, it wouldn't be shocking.

So, it's Arsenal vs Man U for 2nd and they face each other at Old Trafford soon. So, that's a good race now that Chelsea officially for the 6th time sealed their title with the win against QPR. But of course, fuck that team of superstars and russian money.

Champions League tomorrow!

Going to be different with no english teams remaining. Not sure who to support.

PSG for Zlatan.

I don't like to cheer for teams who buy a huge superstar every year, so that eliminates every team but Monaco and Juventus, but they have no shot now that Arsenal is out. So, just go for Zlatan despite PSG being able to buy Greenland if they wanted to.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #467 on:** April 15, 2015, 12:50:05 AM »

I'm good with cheering on PSG as we await Zlatan's return from an unjust one match ban for the iffy red card against Chelsea. Hopefully, can get a good result at home against Barca to make the second leg interesting.

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #468 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:32:25 PM »

So much for that shit, Suarez will have none of your "interesting second leg". It's over already. He is brilliant when he is on and not eating people or diving.

KoppoKick · « **Reply #469 on:** May 03, 2015, 10:50:36 AM »

Bill Belichick, Coach K, Money Mayweather and Jose Mourinho. 2015 is the year of the heel.

Congrats on Jose for having blank checks.
