Now with the Saint's win, this game will be much tougher than anticipated. Bad thing is, they need only a draw to ensure their survival, so the game will be played in front of their goal and we have a hard time against team like that. Hope the boys are up for it.

Is it really surprising though? I argued about this with a couple of friends. When the players know there is unrest between manager and the board, and they know he won’t be here next season, will you give a 100%? If you’re a fan of the club or coming from the youth ranks, probably yes but at the end of the day in football, everything is on the manager’s head because it’s easier to replace the manager than the whole team. But it’s not only this lot. A lot of fans won’t admit but the old guards which is adored by everybody, even they downed tools on former managers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess he knows after Wednesday Real would have looked away.

Apparently he missed training today. Weak mentality or coach decision?

I just saw there will be an int break after this game. I hate these breaks but I think atm this one come at the best time. The team can regroup for the final 2 months of the season. I reckon Conte's future will be decided in the next week too. Will he manage the club until the end of the season or not. If he isn't let go by next week, I think he will see out the rest of the season.

Not thrilled about tomorrow but remember a lot said we'll be the only English team not to progress because of our draw, so I'm quite happy with happened the past two weeks. Never cared about English coefficient.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if Utd got knocked out tonight?. I think they are a lock for top 4 with City, so CL can't be a distraction for them anyway, so why start this week CL on a high note.

2-0 for Le Arse. Aubameyang scores. After 2 minutes, Cech save his first penalty as Arsenal keeper. The goalie who a couple of years a goal guessed all the penalties in the CL final.

Iniesta was injured earlier today against Atletico and he will miss from 3 to 4 weeks. So, Coutinho is cup-tied, Dembele is just back from injury and has played around 10 mins. So that we'll leave Gomes and Paulinho (but he plays on the right most of the time anyway). Not that I'm optimistic about it after recent displays but every little boost can help.

Another Christensen mistake. Poor clearing of the ball.

Is Kante injured?

The only chance of beating them I think, is after they trash Arsenal again on Thursday they won’t bother playing and like good pals let us win. They have a big cushion as it is, they’ll be champions in a month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

GET IN!!

Kante, Azpi, Hazard, Courtois all rested. Can't say that I can complain.

I don't speak Italian but it seems, it were the same 'journos' from this video. Italian comedians gave a "Conte 1" Utd shirt for Mourinho to sing. He signed it and I guess they wanted the same with Conte but from the looks of it, he didn't want to.

Damn, Porto are a disaster. It was known before, but at this rate we'll be the English side with the least chance to progress, I'm afraid.

Spurs shit the bed fast.

Seems good RA thinks that way but it seems it’s a little bit too late. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BBC (Simon Stone) now reporting Conte will stay in charge, at least for now. A sacking was not disscused in the wake of recent results, mainly because we're still in 2 competitions and in top 4, like almost everyone predicted it's the mainly reason. So, I guess a trashing by Barca may get him sack eventually?

It's like "See, even after a horrible result, I'm not trying to improve the situation. P.S Please, sack me already."

Well, it looks like he'll be given a permanent rest soon.

That was the second.

Haaaazard FC on a rolll again!

And we continue with the pointless crosses. They could at least try to cross at the bench. Maybe Giroud will head it from there.

No changes.
