I still think Arteta might be a really good coach, but him and Edu are possibly the worst recruitment team in the league. So much money wasted on players who are either shite or just totally unnecessary.

 

Arsenal went through a weird phase where they sacked their entire scouting network to rely entirely on agents, notably Joorabchian, to get players in.

 

They tried at one point to have Zorc put in place and I'm sure Monchi was floating about at some point or another as well.

 

Total basket case and trying to do things on the cheap very expensively.

CL Final now in Paris. 

Pretty happy with this. Based on Kiev prices, a fight to St Petersburg would have been the best part of £900, so this will be massively cheaper.

 

I’ve now booked an 8 sleeper apartment in Paris for £54 pp, per night.

48,000 seater stadium. Fuck that.

[Grinch]

Home ground of one of the few teams who have a chance of winning it.

 

Yea, well done UEFA.

[Haan'sThunderbolt]

I'm sure it's not Parc des Princes, but Stade de France, St Denis - last hosted it in 2006.

Fuck me, they could have chosen a bigger stadium, couldnt they? Obviously, the fans were the last thought as regards the capacity was concerned.

Any confirmation it's not going to be PSG's ground then? How much does this stadium hold, any idea?

The Stade de France (French pronunciation: [stad də fʁɑ̃s], lit. 'Stadium of France') is the national stadium of France, located just north of Paris in the commune of Saint-Denis. Its seating capacity of 80,698 makes it the seventh-largest stadium in Europe. The stadium is used by the France national football team and France rugby union team for international competition. It is the largest in Europe for track and field events, seating 78,338 in that configuration

 

 

Capacity	80,698 (football, rugby); 75,000 (athletics)[2]

Nice one.

Shocked and stunned to hear that the condemnation and sanctions applied to Russia did not include any mention of the £30m annual sponsorship of UEFA by Gazprom

I still bet we only get 20k.

 

Also assume there is no chance of clubs doing a AC Milan in Istanbul or Athens and handing tickets back.

[El Rojo]

Russia should be dumped out of all UEFA competitions, though they’re consistently pathetic whenever they reach tournaments anyway. 

[Bjornebye]

Anyone notice Hayley McQueen crying while talking on SSN about 15 minutes ago? They cut to a really long advert break. She's back now as normal but she was defo in tears. Thought the queen might have shed her final skin or something. 

[TD_LFC]

[J-V]

Just relegate Leeds already.  Absolute turd Manager is Bielsa

[dockers_strike]

Leeds playing well again, I see.

[TheDrowningMan]

Leeds are 100% down with Watford and Norwich. They might even finish bottom.

[dandyman]

Leeds showing everyone how to capitulate in style

[J-V]

0-2

 

Should be sacked on the spot.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Leeds are wank.

Shocked but not surprised.

[magicrat]

Even Spurs won't Spurs this up. Leeds rushing headlong over the relegation cliff. 

[Grinch]

Spurs were nearly even money.  Must have been the easiest bet of the season.

 

Bielsa needs to fuck off to Germany.  They seem to appreciate managers that carry lube over there.
