🔥 W I N N E R S 🔥 UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Retail Madrid (0) 1 - 2 Arsenal (3) (2nd Leg) | Wednesday, 16th April | KO: 20:00 BST | TNT Sports

Who is cracking open the new thread for the return leg?

 

[Bloodbather]

I don't wholly agree with this narrative. The only time he showed a bit of naivety was the tackle he got away with in the CL Vs PSV, where he was already on a yellow & maaaaaybe the West Ham red.

The red against Wolves was rightly rescinded, & the pen decision Vs Everton was ridiculously soft, even the pundits agreed.

We have to remember he is only 18 & learning, but I don't think he's rash or ill disciplined at all. I think he's targeted for other reasons tbh.

Well yeah, if you look at the other posts you'll see that I've acknowledged those points.

He's been aggressive on the tackle despite being on a yellow on other occasions as well. Not like he's a disaster in this regard but it's something to hone in on.

what's the betting odds on our players getting a red or two?
usually the betting cartels have some insider knowledge

Working perfectly now, this pre match thread is the funniest I've seen on here, Madrid are so rattled lol

 

[BBF]

So are Timber's throw-ins. They don't even know what's coming.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Unfortunately, this is always a big concern when playing Barca or Real in the CL. Lots of dodgy calls go their way. Hope we can hold Real tomorrow and PSG beat Barca. Real probably more favored than Barca, but man that RVP red was the stuff of nightmares. Can’t give these refs any chances.

We play PSG next round mate. Barca have Inter or Bayern..

 

[Oxeki]

We're back, baby.

Never seen Madrid this triggered before.

 

[Sanis]

Pretty sure that they will try to provoke fouls, yellow cards, dive in the penalty box (likely to target MLS and Kiwior), pressure referees and use similar dirty tricks, hope lads will be ready for it.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Yellow cards will be cleared in semi finals unless we got red card. But refs won't allow us to waste time here it's Real Madrid we can't take more than 20 seconds to take throw in or gk.

So they a free hit near the end of the match.

There seems to be still confusion about this but looks like while yellow cards are indeed cleared after this game...suspensions stay. So if Rice or Timber pick up a yellow they will miss the first leg of the Semis. That's my understanding of it.

 

[Synical]

I'm so embarrassed for them

I can't wait for tonight. If they don't 'remontada', surely they are going to have to liquidate the club after all this

Don't you have to have the ball to be able to do that?

 

[albakos]

I hope Arteta has taken the phones off and restricted any access to social media for our players.

 

[Sanchez11]

Madrid have lost their respect from me, fvck em! Play our game and we will go through. Imagine having our fully fit 1st 11.

 

[Amsterdam Gooner 88]

i want to see some dark arts tonight. i want to see some haramball tonight. but i also want to see some sexual halal football. but most of all i want to see some sweet madrid tears. don’t be shy, let me taste your tears. you cheating cvnts.

 

[Macho]

Why do Arsenal rattle clubs like this? West Ham still pissed about only getting 100m for Rice

 

[Dokaka]

Have to say I cannot believe how unaware I was of how cringeworthy Real Madrid and their fans are, what the actual **** am I reading

Tbf whenever I go on Twitter most of their fans are like “yeah we’re gonna get ****ed”

The responses to that expected lineup were savage.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I read Alaba might be starting LB with Ceballos as starter it seem they want someone that can pass in midfield but can't see Ceballos last 90 min here still Partey and Rice gonna bully him anyway. Alaba was horrific against us

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

It's really interesting real Madrid media always try to leak line up like 10 hours before games I feel this is just wrong

 

[Iwobeast]

You’d think they would calm down for a bit after winning 15 of them

 

[MartiSaka]

While it will be awful if we get knocked out, given the way Madrid have been carrying on and the "confidence" they are supposedly exuding, it will be more embarassing for them if we just control the midfield and the game, and qualify comfortably.
