Pip pip! Oh dear...

[Roddy]

The only time this season that Man City fans have shown passion is when they where trying to get over the advertising boards to get at Cese Fabregas.

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

In ten years Pippin will be able to challenge the elite teams such as Celtic

[shabbado]

Plucky wee Man City holding their own against the might of the Lisbon Lions.

Nights like this make football special.

Reports of crowd trouble between home and away fans at the Etihad

BBC trying to verify these reports as they, like a great many others, don't believe that there are any home fans in the stadium.

[shabbado]

2 draws against Celtic and 1 against Gladbach.

Plucky wee Man Citeh showing the big boys of Europe how to progress through the group stages.

[JW90]

Arsenal to get Real, Leicester to get Bayern in the next round.

Man City did well against Celtic and their 94 million fans in Manchester.

Good job pippy peppy didn't win really...those jeggings would not have survived a kneeslide

[tennisman]

Great Wolves clip Carlos.

Don't they hate Arsenal on TS?

A non stop not so subtle critical narrative of just about everything.

Cundy even saying that when they came on later they would criticise Wenger for not taking off Sanchez. At that point, they had no idea what would happen in the 2nd half.

Of course, Wenger is a senile old git who dribbles a lot and eats pot noodles at home without his missus and obsesses long into the night in Clough-The Damned United-style and gets everything WRONG!!!

Arsenal are currently no hopers in every competition and down at the bottom of League 1 alongside my home team, Oldham Athletic......wait a minute

Yesbut dem goonaz for some strange reason keep calling in...

Rinse n repeat!

Yesbut dem goonaz for some strange reason keep calling in...

Rinse n repeat!

Can you imagine staff meetings with the top brass and the finance people reminding all the presenters who the main income stream is amongst fans?

Repeat everyone - Who do we wanna call?

(Everyone calling out together as if in some male only cult) - Them Gooners!

Durham's script for this afternoon's show RUINED by Wenger not finishing second.

Durham's script for this afternoon's show RUINED by Wenger not finishing second.

Not at all...

He will now be saying Wenger was 'tactically naive' to not match the PSG score and let Basle come back and draw, as finishing second would have been better as both RM and Bayern could end up as second in their leagues!!!

[Sinbad]

WOW.... never saw that coming. When the draw was made, i feared we'd end up going to Switzerland needing at least a point to get out of the group.

Unbeaten, top of the group with 14 points, GD + 14


Credit where credit is due.... Well done Mr Wenger.

[Sinbad]

Well done.... All the English sides who played in this seasons Champions League all got out of their Groups.


No, hang on, that's not right ....


Anyway, good luck in Monday's draw for all the English clubs who are still in the tournament and not having to play ( if their lucky ) Thursday night football.

I find myself in the strange position of desperately hoping that we lose tonight and finish bottom of the table.

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

Shouldn't be too hard Steve

[Steve Hunt]

Shouldn't be too hard Steve

Indeed

[Sinbad]

I find myself in the strange position of desperately hoping that we lose tonight and finish bottom of the table.

I'll be watching game willing spurs on. May even play a few Chas & Dave** songs before the kick off.




** I fucking hate those pair of cunts
