(+) Yeah! (+)

I have been through a lot of shambolic ends of seasons, but this one is about to take the cake. Wenger out.

Not really. Finishing in top 4 is just business as usual for Arsenal.

Yeah. I'm still backing Arsenal to finish in the top 4 somehow.

Reading up about the J-League right now. Apparently we're getting a tour of the 'Yokohama Soccer Studio'.

I wonder if that's for F. Marinos or for Yokohama FC?

Oh and here's a shout-out to Rashidi Yekini. Legendary Nigerian striker. R.I.P.

Terrible Spearing, Jose blew it , and how does Pepe not save that -_-

Liverpool seems content with losing 0-1 at the moment though.

Hopefully the rest of the team picks up the slack in germany.

ignore Ryo's post first and foremost.

Watch and support who you like. But don't just support whoever wins, or Arsenal.

That was a pretty good goal.

Makes you wonder why Carroll bombed so hard when he's clearly talented.(same for torres)

I'm going on record to say that I've probably got a better shot than Jordan Henderson, at least on today's evidence. Lordy.

My first thought was that was in.

But on replay it looks so damn close, how's a ref supposed to make a decision in real time.

Bring on goal line tech, but Cech might have done just enough.

But those are the leagues he should be watching though, Prem League(England), Serie A(Italy), La Liga (Spain) and Bundesliga (Germany). Those are generally considered to be of the highest quality, with the French Ligue 1 just a level below.

Cech is my boy.

ESPN making a big deal about the goal that was factually not over the line. Is it just people trying to make sure technology is brought in by highlighting a total and complete non-issue?

We did not deserve this break at all. I hope all the Arsenal players saw that and are thanking their stars. If they don't win next week they don't deserve a holiday.

Portsmouth went for a second administration.

It's a sad case. Really. Portsmouth used to be a pretty formidable force with the likes of David James, Jermaine Defoe, Sol Campbell, Glen Johnson and Sylvain Distin playing for them. Then, they pulled a Leeds. It's been a long road to recovery for Leeds, who's still trying to get back to where they were. But it's been pretty difficult when their best players like Jermain Beckford and Jonathan Howson are in constant danger of being poached.

It's probably gonna get worse before it gets better. So long as the club survives that is.

Thinking about it, the season is almost over in the blink of an eye. Very soon we will be deprived of our football, with only the unsatisfying few weeks of international football (euros) to tide us over while we wither into empty husks of no-football-ness.

You're going to be one of the only sad sacks that doesn't enjoy Euros! We'll all be here loving it.

And the lay-over between European Football seasons is the shortest for like, any sport. Three months? That's cake!

Hard to believe that I'll be living in London right when the new EPL season starts. Can't wait!

Wait you're going to London?

We really should be playing in the Euros, but it's another international tourney where we cheer from the stands =(

Juve are the champions of Serie A! Juve won the title!...

...Does no one here care about the Serie A?

Seb Frey, Mexes and Flamini off the top of my head.

But why specifically French? Di Natale and Chilleni can easily walk into any top team.

wigan wins, and confirms an 8th straight season in the premier league

not quite as epic as last season's amazing comeback (and i don't use epic lightly here), but much more comfortable and impressive

great to see, and i hope bolton can save themselves this weekend at mark hughes' expense
