I have no reason to cheer up. I support Spursy... and it's bloody depressing [:(] Oh well, not long now till the stadium falls down....
It was an unfair result. You played better than Chelsea. So keep the high spirits.
It was a great game. [:)]

Everton has some really good players. Their problem is going to be the bench, or rather the lack of it, specially with UEFA cup matches on Thursdays.

Problem is we have a depressing history now of outplaying Chelsea and still losing.

Think Man City worked out last night why Spurs were quite prepared to grab £50m for Walker. Athletic, yes, good crosser, not really, but his brain goes AWOL on a fairly regular basis.

Everton are a concern for the fourth Champions League spot. They have a great manager, bought well and bought early.

I hate football [:(] - although I don't like to mention that fact [:D]

even though Celtic insist on taking European football seriously this season, they are still good for the odd disaster ... good thing they had a 5 goal aggregate lead at the start of that second half [;)]

Yeah great [8|] My hopes were raised for a while there in the second half, only to be dashed on the rocks of despair. I really hate stupid football.....[:(]

No, Chelsea can not possibly have parked the bus because Mourinho has left the club. Now they play fun, creative, attacking style football. [;)]

Sorry it was a cheap shot - and one that will explode in my face when we join Arsenal in the Europa League.....

At least with Apoel we have a chance of making the Europa League - I thought we were going to get Moscow....

The British team coaching Östersunds FK has made a sterling job. Since Graham Potter joined the team in 2011 the club has advanced three divisions in five years and thereby reached Allsvenskan, the top league. After one season in Allsvenskan they won the Swedish Cup and therefore qualifying, for the first time ever, to play in Europe.

In their first match ever in Europa League they go out against Galatasaray and outplay them at home and win by 2-0. And then they go to their home field and play a 1-1 draw. [X(] [:)]
And the fairy tale continues. Östersund FK just qualified for the group stage of the Europa League.

Weirder still, Rosenborg eliminated Ajax, which means that for the first time since 1965, Ajax does not play in any European League [X(]

Downside is ofc that RBK will once more start buying anyone capable of kicking a ball further than 3m, further reducing the competition level in the norwegian league.

England has one of the great Football leagues in Europe. Or even in the world. England also has a long, and great football history. And England has a tradition of qualifying to the major national football tournaments. All in all England is a great football nation.

Europa League has 48 teams remaining.

Champions League has 32 teams remaining.

So all in all there are still 80 teams that compete in Europe this season. Out of these England has all their 7 teams remaining.

So now I wonder. Out of these 80 teams, how many have a English Manager?

Rubbish game, total and utter rubbish. Although can be quite good I understand if you don't support Spursey...

Who will finish lower this season - Spursey or Arsenal?
