Every time Matterface says "Upa-Meccano", I die a little bit inside.

What should it be?

French doesn't really have stresses on syllables - each has equal emphasis.

So "Up-a-mech-a-no".

It's trivial, but I'm a pedantic twat.

And that one's going to count.  Bollocks.

Doesn’t that at least finally confirm fifth place will get CL next season now?

Such joy. It’s only one goal so I can see it being more open at the Emirates. Heads up Sporting.

Thats my take on it. I thought only a draw was required so a win should do the job.

Boring, boring Arsenal. Have had more fun trimming my nasal hair with garden shears.

Not too sure. Think it may depend on if AEK can win the Conference League.

Shearer wouldn’t be surprised if Arsenal score off a set piece….bet Amazon think they are getting value for money :-) Sporting have some very neat and tidy players

I’m watching the other game. We’ve been linked with Pedro Goncalves, what’s he been like?
Him and Trincao were good first half, I switched a couple of minutes into 2nd half when it was clear BottleJobs were gonna carry on playing for corners / free kicks :-)

Thanks, I’ve never seen him play and it’s unlikely I’ll watch the second leg!

Sadly, they are.

They're good enough to see off Atletico or Barcelona and Bayern always bottle finals against English teams since we broke them. PSG maybe the best chance to beat them but they have been inconsistent this season and I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool knock them out.

Correct. Any English draw in the next ten games. So, fifth it is.

Edit: should have said ‘including Arsenal’s game tonight’. So a draw would have done it. From now on we’re just showing off.
