Neither could Villa and Newcastle. They both displayed pretty impressive Tifo’s in their respective jaunts in the CL.
And of course one of my favourites of our efforts.

That from Arsenal was piss poor. Apparently the club chose that over a fan-led one.

We can agree that their banners are as poor as their recent achievements.
To be fair to the other two, one has actually won a European Cup and the other has won a trophy recently.

Got to be the worst atmosphere I've seen for a UCL semi.

I wouldn't normally comment but seeing as every man and his dog does it to us, it feels more than fair to say it.

Arsenal players trying to rally the fans every 5 mins was just embarrassing. Raya looked so annoyed with them at h-t.

Arsenal players need to stop waving at the crowd and focus on their game.

Funny seeing Arteta going full on Basil Fawlty, running down the touch line trying to rouse the fans and then turning on his set piece coach!

Spotted a little bit of schadenfreude, when one of the PSG players sat down, right in front of Artita, and clearly as a time-wasting / coaching tactic, and he lost his shit completely, before recovering when he probably realised 'oh fuck this is what we do'

Sadly & unforgivably I heard a bit of that on Talkshite this morning, got to be without doubt a new low for British Radio,
The Irish/Scotish? celtic/united? supporting Shaban ohearn talking about how "United always have a great Atmosphere"
While the Villa supporting Gabby (thick as pig shit) Agbonlahore criticizing most other clubs including us but excluding Liverpool for not having any Atmosphere?
All done in the modern "Banter" style of radio presenting, yep a new low I think for british radio prenting but sadly it seems to be the way things are going or have gone,
Why can't we just have people just talking sensibly on the radio about football instead of all this "Bantz" crap?

Tifo's are fan inspired/bought/made, the fact that the club made & chose their own Tifo completely misses the point, and sums them up perfectly.

Didn’t watch it last night, but I’ve had talksport on and they’re taking the piss out of the atmosphere. Was it that bad?

They’ve had clown laughter on, that woman Aherne sounding like she will self combust with excitement.

Someone came on and said where he sat was full of tourists and some Arsenals fans were selling there tickets because they were going from between 2/3k which would buy them there season ticket for next season! This is going to be the biggest thing to sanitise premier football in the next 20 years it be like American sports crowds with American prices! It's not as if the clubs could have a part of the stadium for just tourists because you'd still get them buying them all over the stadium!

I could just about listen to short sections of Talkshite in the morning when Brazil was on,
I dont mind Mcoist to much even Laura woods wasnt to bad but Ohearn is a new low, she doesnt really seem to understand the basics of Football (she would sooner talk about love island or some other such crap), is so biast towards the rags its painfull & her voice just makes me turn the radio over or off straight away, & I agree about Agbonlahor, he wasnt to bad when he started but now he just talks nonsence most of the time,
Why cant we just have normal conversations about football instead of all this "My teams bigger than your team" "we get bigger crowds than you" "we sing more songs than you do" crap all the time?

Spot on! She is unbearable. Typical Celtic/Rag love in. Switched off as soon as i heard she was standing in for Brazil. Only Hawksby and Jacobs are worth listening to. Some interesting guests and good weekly spots from knowledgable pundits on South American football, European football and American sports.

Genuine question, what do you listen to in the morning? I just want some sports news first thing as I am getting up, is there any alternative to Talkshite?

If you don’t take it too seriously, talksport is ok. I work from home and have it on most days throughout.

Morning slot. When Brazil is on it’s just daft, easy listening nonsense.

11am. They try and ruffle feathers as people are in the middle of their day, depending on the topic. I usually switch it off.

1. Probably the slot with the most insight.

4. I’ve finished by then but what I do catch is again, nonsense.

I don’t catch the 7 slot but will sometimes but cundy and o’hara on at night. A pair of fucking idiots.

Is it just me that finds the gooners set pieces funny ?
I can't help but laugh as I see 4 or 5 grown men all standing in a line miles away from the goal all off side. Than the free kick taker puts his hand up and they all run towards the defenders lol.
Its like watching kids in the school yard.
What the defenders should do when the hand goes up is all move up the pitch leaving the gooners to have to sprint to get on side lol.

No you're not alone. It looks like the start of some kind of Mitchell &Webb-like parody sketch everytime they do it. I know they score a lot from them but thr manority of it achieves nothing, its down to the delivery and having good jumpers
everything else is superficial.

all it does it require even more precise timing to run onside timed with the delivery then do their targeted foul as 90% of their routines are which player can we foul to gain an advantage and then connect with the ball. Their theatrics also just highlights the obvious fouls too. Like when that tit Ben white came on at the end when they had a corner and he runs straight into the keeper making the refs decision an easy one, had he started their and wrestled slightly to hold ground theres a better chance it doesn't get flagged.

Honestly I avoid all sports media…..mostly all click bait and wind up merchants…..very quick glance at BBC Sports….

Feel a lot better avoiding as I’ve got fed up with all the ongoing anti-city rhetoric
 
Had to laugh at their tactics last night, give it to Raya and he hoofs it up field.
Arteta is a genius ha
