Wow. So Trump isnt to blame if those he appoints are criminal insane when not merely incompetent and corrupt? People buying into the whole "lying NYT, deep state conspiracy, antivax, climate hoax, I'd rather trust my gut than science, apple pie" fable ... it beats me.

I hope City win it. The reaction if Liverpool do will be verging on unbearable. I'm going to want Liverpool to win the Champions League, but only because of who they'll play in the final. To want Liverpool to win both trophies is beyond me.

and I'm guessing you are talking Trump at his word ( ) about what the Mueller report actually says. Even the redacted version is pretty damning. Trump clearly didn't read it ( no pictures).

I detest City. Even setting aside their unforgivable negligence in letting Spurs into the ECL final, anything that undermines their worrying march to dominance (barring Spurs) is good in my book.

I've never minded City. Way preferable to their local rivals.

Looks like Emery also never learns:

19Leno
12Lichtsteiner
20Mustafi
27Mavropanos
18Monreal
29Guendouzi
4Elneny
7Mkhitaryan
59Willock
17Iwobi
14Aubameyang

Substitutes
1Cech
6Koscielny
9Lacazette
15Maitland-Niles
31Kolasinac
34Xhaka
49Nketiah

At least Willock plays but to have this central defence and DM is tragic for us.

The final is over a fortnight away what harm would it have done to give Aubameyang a chance to win the golden boot and us fifth at least and maybe also a possible fourth however unlikely..............................

I'm with you there Bernard. The media is full of ex-Liverpool players who are unbearable to listen to. Naturally, I hope they the CL, but a double up with the PL. Sweet Jesus, that's a nightmare.

That horse has bolted though. Football is now a competition involving less than a dozen clubs across Europe. Ajax performed a minor miracle this season and will now lose half the team. For all the talk of it being a fantastic title race, a league season where two clubs are close to getting 100 points is not a good thing.

Aubameyang is starting you doughnut !

I’m alright with the team personally, give minutes to Xhaka and Lacazette in the second half

Numbnut I didn't say he wasn't. If you think he is going to get the same service today as he got on Thursday then you really are a *%^@.

Ok - so how many goals do we need today to make it into 4th place then ?

The players are probably on their last legs and need to be changed up.

You can’t make a gourmet meal out of a bunch of turd anyway, hopefully they will get 3 points but Everton won’t beat spurs 9 nil

21.

If our defence is up to its usual standard

Serviceless Aubameyang hits the bar

Tottenham have scored.

Crikey. Man U losing at home to Cardiff

Brightonwere ahead ... for 30 secs

City doing it two years in a row too. And 199 league goals now in that period. That why I'm less averse to Liverpool and even united. Anyway City are totally dominant now in the Brighton game.

Some pretty rough play going on.

Aubameyang scores !!!!

Twice - 19 more to go !

Woops - Leno was doing well with all that too - damn ....

2 goals plus hit the bar, should have had a hat trick

2 all now

Arsenal are playing much better now.

I hope they can maintain this pace for the rest of the season.

Great win from Aubameyang there. Could have had 4 , well played !!!

Thankfully, City stopped Liverpool from winning it.

2 dropped points at home to Brighton cost us 3rd place. Awful away performances towards the end of the season but it was the two ‘banker’ home games that cost us.

I knew Chelsea wouldn’t win their last game, and had a feeling Everton would get something at spurs. Total choke to come 5th in that race for top 4.

The entire success or failure for the season relies on the final. Unfortunately it really has become that black or white for arsenal now

Shared Holden boot for Aubameyang- I’d bet in a lot less games/minutes than Salah and Mané.

And Nketiah with his first senior goal for the club. Wonder what his future will be next year? 3rd striker or a loan somewhere. Getting your first senior goal as a striker is huge.

Basically if Aubameyangs pen againest spurs went in we are in the champions league.

The margins for failure and success are thin

So how many of our first XI would get into the top 6 teams 1st XI? Apart from ours, obvs.

Or if the linesman has spotted that Kane was offside and the ref had applied the rules correctly we’d already be in the champions league.

So let me ask you this. If in the Europa Finsl it went to penalties would you allow Aubameyang to take a pen. I probably would but Aubameyang really bottled that penalty against Spurs & I have serious concerns about him when the pressure is on.

Let’s hope it is 3-0 to us by FT in the final & it never has to be resolved.

Even great players miss penalties. Liam Brady missed one for us in the penalty shoot-out of the 1980 Cup-Winners-Cup final against Valencia (as did Mario Kempes miss one for them). Bergkamp missed a late one in normal time of the 1999 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United; had he scored it they wouldn't have won the treble. All great players that you could argue bottled it.

Of course Aubameyang should take one if the final goes to a penalty shoot-out. Apart from anything else, as he's obviously been selected as our primary penalty taker, one assumes it's felt within the club that he's the best penalty taker and presumably the one least likely to bottle it.

Something to cheer you up.

You left out JFK and 9/11 ........ reading and listening to radical half wits like Noam Chomsky , Ron Paul , John Pilger , Dr Patrick Moore .... have stopped me believing in Santa Claus , and the moon is made of green cheese

.... sigh ...... those halcyon days gone forever .

Congratulations Aubameyang

Weakened side wins at Burnley. Instead of being happy it further condemns this squad. With nothing to play for they can win. When its on the line, they can't muster a draw.
This squad needs a motivational coach or some person who works on their mental strength.

It's not necessary to consult 'radical half wits'. Trump's twitter feed and speeches are all that any person with the least critical ability requires. In fact, you don't even need critical ability. He simply lies and contradicts himself compulsively and openly. Trump is a complete fraud... a conman whose only strength is a complete lack of shame and empathy. People believe Trump's message because they want to and because they have willfully switched off the critical part of their brain ... or had it switched off by the Republican party, Fox News, or the utter muddle of US-style evangelical Christianity (which prepares minds to believe anything).

Did you fail to notice the game on Thursday?

Yesterday wasn't a question of the team playing wonderfully because the pressure was off. Burnley had plenty of chances. We had Aubamayang.
