Ha, ha. That's hilarious. Green is as Scouse as they come....and slightly racist but we'll brush over that.

Obviously Arsenal were always going to be the better team. I had thought Celtic would be more attacking in their team selection - One up front is defeatist (and that one should have been McDonald rather than Samaras, who is rubbish).

Arsenal looked a good side but needed a bit of luck. They had only 5 shots on target, which is probably less than they would have in most premiership games.

But there can be no arguements about the winner. They deserved to come out on top. 1-0 might have given us some hope. I don't fear for Celtic at the Emirates, although we rarely win away from home we are rarely embarrassed either.

I can't go without one little whinge about the referee - he obviously thinks football is a non contact sport. Its a mans game and Arsenal played on his softness. Certainly not a homer.

But the other bits are definitely correct.

Alan Green may be a Pool fan, but Jesus he covers it well. He kisses manc arse at every opportunity, and he is Northern Irish, but thinks he's English. For example saying that he fears for "us" when referring to the England team, how the fcuk is he English???? I hate the man and would love to see him ousted from broadcasting, he is about as impartial as Adolf Hitler the coont.

As for Celtic, big fish small pond.

[kpc]

Alan Green....tedious, opinionated and not even a good at commentating. As for his sucking up on 6-0-6.......

[????]

is this an angling thread ?- our resident gooner nutter musr have done the oh so original fish and pond thing about 10,000 times zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Sandperson]

Tight Lines!

[Jah Lush]

Reel him in.

[red devil]

Not biting?, try some Manc Superbait...

L'Arse - little fish in a big pond

[Keef]

Whilst I agree that the big fish small pond line is very very tired, can we not all try to bait (see what I did there) someone, it's basically a form of bullying IMO.

[red devil]

I'll abait forthwith...

[Annasfield]

Anyone need/ know of anyone else who wants 2 tickets to the emirates on Saturday? Arsenal end - ?55 each.

(I feel like a tout)

[Jah Lush]

Do you the mean the Arse end? No thanks. Bit smelly.

Try Ratty or Marmora Man

Mick Mac-Off out now but can you get tickets at The Celtic End for the return leg and when is it M8?

[Mick Mac]

Its next Weds Tony. No tickets I'm afraid and despite the score last night I think they will be hard to get. Unless you are winding me up of course.

[ratty]

Anyone else heard that Benitez has gone??? Rumour just come through. Betting suspended evidently.

[Sandperson]

Really, that's weird. I was just talking to my father-in-law about him walking away. Who has suspended betting? I think it's unlikely but hey, stranger things have happened.

just on to my mate a Sky Sports News to see if he's working and if he's heard anything.

[????]

Suspended on a few sites

[ratty]

Anyone know if he is at the game - that should scotch the rumours. May be ppl putting 2 and 2 together after hearing that the scousers have less cash than Pompey.

Squinny coonts tbh!!

[????]

Back in real football...

Torres has Liverpool in front

Spuds strolling it at Hull

....United 1-0 down and missed a penalty

[Keef]

No mention at all on BBC, only a prematch interview with him saying he is shocked at reaction to opening day loss, feels a win tonight could change everything.

Maybe it hinges on tonight's result... Seems very unlikely at this stage, although he can't be pleased with his transfer kitty.

Anyway, can't see this result lasting 90 minutes, but fair play to Burnley, apparently a cracking goal, then a penalty save!
