Not quite as deep and subtle as that. :). It's a Black Panther mask from the movie.

Chelsea and Napoli would be the hardest draw for us but we're more than capable of beating either. I'd make us favourites against any of the others. I can see us winning the Europa League.

Watching the game from the Fox and Hounds in LA. Not sure if he's still the owner but an Arsenal fan and former Palace player (I think) owns/owned it.

That's me...right there...can't miss me...haha

Yeah baby....Black Panther.

Good to remain winning after the euphoria of beating MU, carry on going strong Arsenal!

Shout out to AMN & Kolasinac!

Maybe I am missing something but was it worth getting booked for it. Not like he was asking for world peace or god forbid a brexit deal.

On another issue terrible going ons in your homeland. The world can be a very bad place at times.

It seems ridiculous indeed. However, I suppose a line has to be drawn somewhere. You can't have players disrobing or making what could be construed as political statements. It's too potentially inflammatory.

Absolutely. But I think.... bookings expire after the quarterfinals, and Aubameyang only has the one, so there is no risk of picking up a suspension?

I think we are really getting somewhere in this debate.

I think we'll beat any of them at home. We need to make sure we can draw to any of them away.

I haven't been a fan of the back 5 when we've played it because we've often played with 2 or more holding mids with little goal/assist potential, but a back 5 with AMN and Kola flying forward AND all of Özil/Ramsey/Aubamayang/Lacazette on the pitch is much more attacking. A goal and an assist from the wing backs last night is exactly what you need from them.

Talk of City getting a 2 transfer window transfer ban for the same rule break that Chelsea were punished for.

Thanks for the clarification. It probably is of little concern then.

Today would this get Stan a ten game ban? Famous moment when players decide to read a match programme while waiting for a corner.

Could that be in the same fantasy world as Jacob Rees-Mogg dining on pie and mash; getting a Merry Christmas card from ISIS and Tottenham winning the league?

Liverpool home to Porto
Spuds home to Man City
Barca home to United

Wasn't Chelsea's a second charge? If so they should get more than Man City?

Napoli. At home first. Tough draw.

Bring it on. We can beat them. Quarter finals. Time to step up to the plate.

Murderous pricks and to top it, have just put NZ on the world map for retaliation from equally stupid, murderous pricks. So sad.

Dream draw for chelsea - avoiding both spanish teams and arsenal and napoli all the way to the final

and I fail to see why anyone outside the military should be able to own any kind of automatic rifle/pistol or large magazines of bullets.
Outlaw it and if someone is caught in possession then off to jail for intent to murder, no questions asked. Almost certain that this would reduce the likelihood.

Only a few days ago Tim Berners-Lee Was warning about the dangers of the internet and now you’ve got a madman killing innocent people and live streaming it on Facebook then the subsequent footage being screened on twitter for everyone to see.

Facebook is now being used as a political tool for all sorts and Cambridge Analytica used it to create a momentum behind Brexit.

I seriously think technology has gone too far and these companies are culpable. Regulation and legislation is needed and quickly.

I hope those who perished today rest in peace.

I think it is fair to say that Monchi will have to recover his previous form to be success.

Mislitat should have been retained after what I think was a very successful offseason recruiting campaign.

This is properly hysterical

They missed the Sol Campbell bit;
Sol Campbell - " I never played with him in match, but guy was absolute unit. My both things combined were his one"

It sounds like he’s off to Sevilla by the sounds of it which may not be a bad thing. His time at Roma was unimpressive and if he was appointed there would be a proper Spanish mafia thing emierging at arsenal with technical director, manager, most coaching staff and director of football all being Spaniards.

Very entertaining. Thanks for that.

Didn't want Monchi anyway - stupid name and not particularly successful at Roma. Overmars with Bergkamp as a coach and De Ligt on the other hand..

Interesting times at Swansea right now. Cracking sweeping move and goal for Swansea to put them 2 up against Man City.

20 mins gone and Man City losing 2-0 to Swansea in F Cup q/f.

Haha double snap ltg I blame you if they recover. You posted first so obviously you are the winner according to the resident Pedant

I couldn’t possibly think who you are referring to.

City win, predictably, 3-2. I see you both posted at 5.51 therefore it's clearly the fault of both of you.

Haha but even better and I very much doubt they can recover is Man U losing 2-0 to Wolves with 10-15 mins to go..

Over to you ltg.......................

and a red for Lindelof. VAR definitely not needed..............

How can the video ref change that to a yellow

If it's me you're referring to, what's wrong in trying to be accurate?

Hi all.

Another sad anniversary this week.

It was 14 years ago on March 16th that we lost Steve Gleiber.



Thanks to everyone for posting and keeping the place going all this time.

Still have so many original posters with us - and many new ones.

And also a special Thank You to our mods - Niall and LTG.

14 years now.

One of those life moments where I still remember exactly where I was when I heard he passed on. RIP. Rest in Power.

This is one deal I am not in favour of.

He’s exactly the type of player we should be going for but I’m not sure it’s good to swap Maitland-Niles. Nelson maybe

I suppose one has to ask if Maitland-Niles or Nelson will ever be first choice regulars? Maybe Nelson is the most likely of the two? How about Smith Rowe going the other way instead?
