Arsenal will not get to the final

Anyone else read that being said in a manner similar to Gandalf's "You shall not pass!" ?

[Mr Pink]

Would enjoy it most if we didn’t get any of the English teams:
Galatasaray -> PSG -> Bayern -> Barca would be a lovely path to win it- beating all the champions of their leagues..

In terms of English rivalry, it’d be funny to do Chelsea-> city -> Arsenal. But would be ****in stressful too. Imagine losing a champions league final to that lego headed gimp.

OK, how about Chelsea->City->Newcastle? Isak to score the winner

that would be epic. Imagine the fume

Arsenal will not get to the final

Agree, Leverkusen will dump them out

There must be some scenario where Spurs make it to the final, having knocked out Arsenal in the semis. And this coming a week after they've been relegated from the Premier League and Arsenal have gotten pipped to the title with a final day defeat to Crystal Palace.

[peterbread]

3 points clear of 6th and 3 points off 3rd.

Chelsea have dropped off after a good start under Rosenior and Villa have come back to the rest.

Could we finish 3rd and a trophy to go with it.

[Kenneth]

Yes, but there is little evidence to suggest that we will.

[DerKrampus]

At our expense but imagine the fume if Bayern win it with a Kane winner against Arsenal

At our expense but imagine the fume if Bayern win it with a Kane winner against Arsenal

I wonder would a typical Spurs fan prefer this scenario with their team being relegated as opposed to them staying up with Arsenal winning the league and CL double

This is me also:

Something I’ve noticed about myself this season: I’m constantly on my phone while Liverpool are playing. Not the occasional glance either, proper second screen behaviour. Match on the tv, phone in hand, scrolling while the game carries on in the background. And every week I end up asking myself the same question: what’s going on here?

Have I suddenly developed ADHD? Has years of short form content and endless scrolling completely destroyed my attention span, or more worryingly, am I starting to fall out of love with football?

Because it definitely didn’t used to be like this. I could sit through a dull 0–0 years ago and still be completely locked in. Every phase of play felt like it mattered, every attack carried a bit of tension, and even when nothing was happening it still felt like something might happen.

Now I sit down with every intention of properly watching the match. Phone down next to me. Five minutes later I’m somehow halfway through a video about someone restoring a lawnmower from the 1980s. I look back up and realise I’ve missed several minutes of football, yet the game seems to be exactly where it was before.

Centre back to full back. Back inside. Across the back line. Back to the goalkeeper. Switch sides. Reset. By the time we finally reach the edge of the box my attention has already drifted somewhere else.

And that’s when the other thought creeps in. Maybe it’s not my brain. Maybe it’s not TikTok or shrinking attention spans. Maybe I still love football exactly the same as I always have.

Maybe Liverpool are just a bit boring to watch this season.

Everything feels very controlled, very safe, very calculated. Lots of possession, lots of recycling the ball, lots of patient build up but not always much urgency or unpredictability. It can feel like we’re carefully managing a game rather than actually grabbing hold of it.

If that is us carefully managing games, I'd hate to see what we do when we are careless.
