***Official*** English Football Season 2018-19

Ospina made a total hash of that

Another one for the "if it was a defender on the line instead of the goalkeeper, no goal" scrapbook

 

[Uppercut]

Ospina really is absolutely terrible. Only really appreciating how bad he is now that I’m supporting a team with him in nets.

 

[sledger]

His decline to terribleness seems to have sped up recently. He was always dodgy for arsenal but I never remember him being really shocking

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Spurs, great result to qualify.

Dembélé selling defenders with that fake shot is gonna be this generations Robben cutting onto his left foot.

Kid's a monster. Has that crazy pace+agility that marks out the top prospects and is completely two-footed on top of that. Opens up so many possibilities for dribbling moves.

 

[cpr]

Mason Greenwood on the bench tonight, hope he gets half an hour or so, he's looked pretty decent in the youth teams this year, a fair bit of the Rashford about him.

Probably get a minute and then disappear for 2 years like Angel Gomes....

 

[Furball]

CSKA manage to finish bottom of the group despite beating Real Madrid home and away.

Quite the achievement.

 

[Furball]

Hoffenheim's refusal to play any sort of defence is certainly entertaining.

So an Arsenal side containing Djourou, Clichy, Eboue and Arshavin beat one of the best Barcelona sides ever, but apparently Spurs managing to draw 1-1 is now "the best performance of an English side" against them ever. Ok

Haha what, is that what people are saying? Also, a memeworthy Chelsea beat them in 2012.

 

[andmark]

Liverpool once beat them the game after Craig Bellamy hit John Arne Riise with a golf club. They both scored.

tbf i've not seen any credible person say this, but it's doing the rounds on twitter

i'm sure Bellamy had his reasons

 

[andmark]

i'm sure Bellamy had his reasons

He didn't usually need any. He is Welsh to be fair to him.

Football twitter is honestly the dumbest place on the internet

Pretty sure United beating them in a Champions League semi final en route to winning the trophy is better.

As is Chelsea knocking them out at the same stage en route to winning the trophy in 2012.

And Chelsea beating them in 2004/05(?)

And Liverpool winning in Barcelona (only English team to have done so).

 

[sledger]

Talking about this just reminds me of how that berk Bendtner missed that open goal in the Nou Camp that would have sent Arsenal through

one of those awful moments that is burned to my brain, despite that period for Arsenal being generally quite forgettable

 

[OverratedSanity]

I mean this Barcelona side isn't even that good. Beating them isn't some monumental achievement much less drawing 1-1 with Messi on the bench.

The commentator probably doesn't perceive that Arsenal team as being 'English"
