    GOOD NEWS : I have been given 2 tickets to Sunday's cup final at Wembley.
    BAD NEWS : It's slap-bang in the middle of the Man City fans.

    I gave them to someone else.

    I’ve never liked to watch a football game in the stands. Either on tv or in a sky box, so I can watch the game in peace and I can analyse what happens on the pitch.

    In the stands it annoys me how fanatic people around me are, blaming referees even if they are right, swearing at the other team, uncivilized behaviour in general. Never liked it that way.

    A right kind of day is needed, that's for sure! Agüero can play too, as he escaped a ban…

    It echo's what Paul Lambert did when he was in charge at Norwich. Gives me a good feeling for next season hopefully? Play offs a bit of a stretch now I think Barry007? Shame about the Cup final tickets? Great opportunity to go undercover for real! Lol!

    Yes I think the play-off might just be too much,but,they are building nicely..need to keep your main man though.

    As for the tickets,it would have been awful for me,i would have been lynched at some stage old pal !!

    Lol! Quite possibly! Keeping talent in the Championship is a big ask these days. But one can only hope!

    Arsenal playing in blue - at home. Know why, but still weird to see.

    Looks like Immobile had a good match!

    Watching Atalanta-Borussia Dortmund while watching Arsenal-Östersunds FK. Atalanta in the lead after 11 minutes. 3-3 between the two, now. Atalanta through on away goals if this stands.

    Looks like that will be an old-fashioned tight European Cup night. At least, that's what I hope for :).

    Arsenal not been good the first 20 minutes. Östersunds been dangerous more than once. The 3 goal lead from the away match should do it, though.

    0-1 and 0-2 Östersunds! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!!

    I can actually see Arsenal losing this the way they are playing right now.

    Goal reactions summed up:
    0-1

    0-2

    Östersunds FK played in the fourth tier of Swedish football in 2011, having played in Allsvenskan (first tier) only since 2016 - just to put this into context. They've taken enormous steps the last few years, and playing EL this season, but that shouldn't take away the fact that Arsenal should beat this team easily.

    It's really shocking how this team can be. Listened to a Norwegian football podcast today, where UK based football writer Lars Sivertsen was the guest. According to sources (as he told it), Arsenal are open to replace Wenger this summer. But, as we all know, that's unlikely to happen.

    No, and I don't know why. He hasn't been playing like he did at the start of the season, but the options are really just him and Maitland-Niles, with the possibility of Monreal. He is better going forward though - if you ask me, and the defence has maybe called upon Maitland-Niles to play instead in some matches.

    An 83 min goal by Dortmund against Atalanta sees them trough to the next round.

    Arsenal trough too, somehow - losing 1-2 at home. What the hell was this? An out of season Östersunds FK winning away at the Emirates? If this doesn't call for change in one or more ways, I don't know!

    1-2 against some Swedish herring picklers dear oh dear. In Arsene We Trust, 2 more glorious years.

    Thing is, that it's actually still possible…

    If it’s a comfort, Dortmund was more than lucky too yesterday.

    Btw: Is this kid Milinkovic Savic as good as people say? I have seen him only two or three times this season and wasn't so impressed with his skills on the ball (he is obviously tall and strong). Was it bad timing only?

    Haven’t had the time to watch too many games this season, but from what I’ve seen I would be surprised if he stays at Lazio this summer.

    Excellent technique and tactically strong. Unmissable both in defense as well as in attack.
