Today’s Football 25/26 Season

[Drico]

Watch Arsenal park the bus, bore us senseless and then nick one from a set piece.

Always possible, of course. But I doubt it. I'll be relieved when PSG score first, mind...

 

[Thomasc]

Been brilliant for years. Was glorious at Napoli.

If he played for a major nation, he'd be a household name...well, if he changed his name by deed poll anyway...

Napoli fans called him the Balkan Messi didn’t they, they certainly loved him there.

Arsenal won't be able to live with PSG.

3-0 PSG

 

[longers]

Hopefully Arsenal spawn a win against them. PSG seem to get a pass from English fans despite being as much of an oil club as City.

 

[Thomasc]

Doué was incredible too by the way

 

[Drico]

They called him Khava-dona at napoli

Kvaradona, yeah.

That was a wonderful team with him and Osimhen outstanding.

Doué was incredible too by the way

He always is. France are stacked

 

[JLW]

damn!

Devastated

None of these big sides are clean. Would rather the ones who actually try play footie win.

 

[Drico]

So, a team most people love watching versus a team few do.

I'm no purist - I love a good proper defensive side with street-smarts - but I hope for the sake of entertainment PSG prevail. There's something charmless and needy about Arteta's Arsenal - maybe it's their fans - that turns me off.

And surely everyone loves Kvaratskhelia.

Cashed out my bet on a psg win on the 93rd minute …. Wasn’t gonna let a last minute goal get me down again this week

 

[Kantareller]

Shame for Olise, he's been amazing but today he properly bottled it.

Also think Diaz bottled it on multiple occasions

Arsenal are a lot cleaner than PSG. It's like saying all politicians are corrupt in response to someone making a point about how bad Trump is.

PSG, City and Chelsea are objectively worse than other big clubs. United, Liverpool, Arsenal all became big through sustained success over multiple decades rather than being bought out by oil states and transformed overnight. Arsenal had to go through a decade or so of little spending just to offset the stadium costs.

Yeah PSG may play nice football, but so did City, yet people moan about them all the time. It's cherry-picking because PSG's success has no relevance or effect on the team/league they follow. That said, it's understandable.

Or maybe it was that PSG played more defensively and made it harder for them to affect the game. The overuse of the word 'bottled' on this forum is nothing short of embarrassing.

I just have a feeling Arsenal are going to do this. Hope they do to be honest, if only to upset everyone pleasuring themselves about PSG.

And let us not forget, our lovable neighbours would hate an Arsenal win. Means another English team getting a slice of the European attention, plus they want to say they were only beaten by the eventual winners. Arteta schooling them by beating PSG would be hilarious...
