Spurs could murder this Arsenal team.

Arsenal would not even be in the top half of the table without Sanchez.

No wonder Arsenal fans are cracking up, they just can't defend

On the bright side, Arsenal can forget a top 4 finish if they don't win at WHL so that is an absolute must win for them  - maybe that'll be the next twist of fate.

Doesn't look all that likely on tonight's showing...

Poor old Boro - know how to defend but so one dimensional in attack - just 23 goals all season. Barring a miracle back down they go.

Feels very weird to say this but good for us that Arsenal won tonight; we need them to gather some form ahead of their visit to White Hart Lane in a few weeks' time. On that note, it would be good if they could beat City on Sunday as well to gain more confidence and also because I think they would be relatively easier for us to beat in the Final, were we to get there of course. 

Oh for f**k's sake.  Just went on the BBC website to check the score and there is a picture of Ozil sucking his thumb in celebration.  I know it shouldn't matter, but this sort of thing is just wrong - why does he think this is a good celebration?  It sucks!  (ha, ha!)

Harry Redknapp appointed Birmingham manager after Zola resigned earlier today. 

Zola must be calling it a day soon. He's an awful manager, he must realise that.

Hahaha he's back alright:

"Birmingham are a proper football club but they are in a precarious position," Redknapp, 70, told Talksport.

 

I think Zola might be better off as an assistant. He, Chris Powell and Claudio should team up to form the ultimate 'nice guy' dream team.

 

Niko Kranjcar is online looking for a house in the midlands as we speak.

Different. Reminds me a bit of when Figo was playing for Real Madrid against his former club, Barcelona and had a pig's head thrown at him.

A Danish Superliga game between Brondby and FC Copenhagen was marred when home fans threw dead rats at a player.

Brondby supporters threw the rodents at Copenhagen defender Ludwig Augustinsson as he went to take a corner.

Leaders Copenhagen won the match 1-0 to open up a 13-point lead over nearest rivals Brondby.

"It's unfortunate that there are some visitors who could not figure out how to behave properly," said Brondby's sports director Troels Bech.

Footage of the incident shows Slovenia international Benjamin Verbic helping team-mate Augustinsson clear at least two rats off the pitch at the 28,000-capacity Brondby Stadium.

Brondby are 10-times champions of Denmark while FC Copenhagen, managed by former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Stale Solbakken, have won the title 11 times.

Just get Alaba, he would suit the wingback role perfectly.

Atletico take the lead at Leicester. Is anyone else in the UK watching the Fa Cup u18 Final 1st leg ?  Away to Man City, currently 0-0, it's on ITV4 now

Leicester need a miracle now. End of the road I think.

I'm keeping an eye on the club's twitter page. A final in 2 legs 

Athletico giving Leicester a bit of a football lesson in the first half.

Can't see Leicester coming back into the game.

I guess this is where Leicester's Cinderalla run ends. Can you see them performing well next season?

Who allowed that? Two-leg finals? That takes away the thrill.

I'm watching Real and Bayern. It's much more interesting now that Bayern have taken the lead.

Should be 2-0 Bayern.

Leicester pull 1 back. Half an hour to go.

Should probably have had another too. Vardy hit it straight at the defender. All he had to do was hit towards the corner.

Yep. And Ulloa too. Two vital blocks.

 

Typical Ronaldo there. Great header.
