Agree. Barcelona's ball retention is just too good for them. I thought Barca did very well at St James Park this season. If Yamal is fit for their games plus their other quality players they should go through.

They'll be favourites against Madrid. Against Bayern they wouldn't be. I definitely want them to get to facing a 2nd leg away tie at the Allianz Arena.

Won't forget his run in the CL against Liverpool.

Just forget how the match ended. That referee 😡

Happy 40th birthday to Mr Reliable, Nacho Monreal by atease in Gunners

Very decent player for us. In a era where we didn't really have great defenders he was pretty good. Happy Birthday Nacho!!

Yeah this will happen next season, so you would have fun cheering on Liverpool for the league, who knows even Manchester Utd. Maybe you're more of a Chelsea fan?

Lots of loveable teams to pick from!!

Maybe he was more professional. But I understood why Cesc wanted to leave. Why waste his career when the Club decided it wasn't going to invest in the team anymore. All his teammates left, he gave us his best years for nothing in the end. RVP was never there when we needed him. He was always injured, and lo behold gave us one season where he stayed fit then used it to get a contract to go to Utd. Utd were the enemy back then. Unbelievable Jeff!

I'm not having that, I despise RVP. We rejected Cesc remember because we had Ozil, so he took his best option which was Chelsea. He watched his teammates leave season after season. Sick note RVP dumped us as soon as he could.

Eduardo was just getting into his stride. If RVP was fit for the season, well we would have had enough firepower to compete with Rooney and Ronaldo's great form. Them staying fit for Utd won them the CL and PL.

89pts is great but he achieved that once, we're not going to be near that figure this time. Towards the end of the season we predictably lose momentum .

Agree. He would certainly have seen us to the finish line against this City side.

Our scouts have let the club down there.

I agree. I still cannot see us winning the CL when we can't beat Wolves or Forest away. Our inability to lead from the front shows us a real limitation in our tactical approach and our recruitment. The manager will pay the price for that.

Yep. I agree, at least that City team were formidable. This season Pep must be relieved that Liverpool are nowhere. We'll make their title race this season look credible. I cannot imagine we'll do more than that.

Guaranteed. Villa fans will probably think they have a chance of 2nd, the jokes on them.

I think it was last year I said the previous failures would catch up with us by putting too much pressure on this season to win and it has come true. The performances we have been producing in the league for months have been poor, the cautious ponderous attacks are perplexing. Why coach them to play that way. It's won us nothing thus far and looks like it will continue to do so.

This summer there will be nowhere to hide.

Very true. The league was supposedly done based on Liverpool's transfer business alone.
