Theo Walcott, Arsenal captain, on a school night! No wonder they lost.

They were up against the master tactician Sam Allardici who again has produced another great escape from relegation

Tony Adams with Granada - to save them from relegation - he got it because he knows the owner not because he knows a thing about managing well - another Gary Neville except there are bugger all games to go

Granada are the 3rd club in that farce run by the pozzos that was
udinese / watford / granada - 3 ring loanee circus

Wenger's got a three game run where any of those teams/managers/fans will make the failure even more brutal. Tottenham goes without saying but if man utd are the side that stops him finishing top four mourinho will be dancing on the tables at the press conference and stoke absolutely hate him and seem to only have to turn up to wind him up. It'd be hilarious to see him face a last half hour at white hart lane 3 or 4 down though but even as a united fan I'd sort of like it to be stoke who do it for getting in his face so often over the years.

Four wins in the last twelve games for the Gooners, notable scalps Hull, Sutton Utd, Lincoln City & WHU.

The Champions League quarter-final between Borussia Dortmund and Monaco has been postponed after an 'explosion' involving the Bundesliga side's team bus.

Borussia Dortmund bus involved in three explosions ahead of Monaco Champions League clash.

The game will be replayed tomorrow at 18:45 local time (17:45 GMT), Dortmund have confirmed, with tickets remaining valid.

An explosion took place near the vehicle ahead of the encounter at the Westfalenstadion.

Defender Marc Bartra was the individual injured after the incident and has been taken to hospital, where his injuries are thought to be 'superficial.

Big thank'S to all the Monaco fans for your support in the stadium

A Borussia Dortmund fan .

Looks like Barcelona are going to have to do it the hard way again if they are to progress. They currently are 3-0 down away in Italy to Juventus in the CL.

4 wins not even close to being equal to 1 win over an inform quality side

Curious season for as bad as Arsenal are playing they beat the 2 bottom teams and their still only a point behind 4th

Even if they get bundled out of the FA Cup , bypassed by Everton
they might still get into Europa finishing 7th because the cups
will have been won by teams entrenched in the top 6.

How strange theres a blog called gunner sore arse - inactive since 11/2016
Seen the light.....

Two penalties from Suarez dives, an offside goal and a huge deflected effort. They'll go through easily.
