Europa league

Surprising first half from the San Siro, Milan 0 Arsenal 2.

The surprises will arrive in the 2nd Leg knowing the Gunners.

[HibbyAndy]

Should be more than 2-0 !

[hibsbollah]

Milan disappointing me so far.

[RossScott1991]

sad to see clubs like ac milan and arsenal playing in the europa league due to their decline over the years, milan especially. one of the great clubs. meanwhile you have like of PSG nowadays

[renato]

Milan look like they’ve never played together before, a really poor performance from a team that’s been high on confidence lately.

Talking of, Arsenal look like a different team after getting that extremely fortunate 1st goal. Goals change games, and teams low on confidence need them in any shape or form, it can suddenly change everything.

[DH1875]

Why the early kick off?

[Billy Whizz]

Why the early kick off?

TV splits the games

[renato]

How naive have Milan players been, decision making has been awful, school boy at times. Young team and they’ve acted like it.

Arsenal have been good, deserved to win.

[DH1875]

Yeah but would Milan v Arsenal not be seen as prime time TV :confused:.

Pissed me off, I have a snow day and thought "great, can get down the boozer and watch it" and got in with like 20minutes left!

They swap the 6pm’s for 8pms the second legs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Oh dear, commentator couldnae even get the player's name right for the minutes silence before the Marseille game.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1-0 Marseille

[hibsbollah]

Om 1-0 up after 45 seconds!

Sad to see the old Uefa Cup so diminished.

This was a real top drawer trophy once, no shame in it at all. If they reverted to the old system, where only league winners went into the European Cup, things would be much more interesting.

It wasn't THAT fortunate, Ozils pass cut Milan right open and it was a great strike regardless of the deflection. 2nd goal was absolutely brilliant.

Thought Arsenal were far quicker than Milan tonight and technically better. Ozil had too much space.

Champions league football for the winners has given it added prestige recently and there's some good teams in it this year, Athletico Madrid, Dortmund etc are champions league calibre sides.

[hibsbollah]

Absolutely scandalous decision as the ref reverses his decision not to give a penalty. 2-1,bilbao have their away goal.

It really was THAT fortunate, it wasn’t a goal until it hit bonucci.

As I said, Arsenal’s confidence was shot before tonight and had that not gone in, or had calhanoglu been less honest and gone down for the penalty, it’s a totally different game and how would Arsenal have reacted to going 1-0 down, or how would Milan’s game have changed going 1-0 up, no one knows.

As it was, Arsenal got the break and their confidence was transformed, their second goal was indeed brilliant and they thoroughly deserved to win.

Good result, OM are a cracking team on their day and definitely have an outside chance of winning the EL, after the usual suspects, if they can steer clear of injuries.

Sadly they haven't, Thauvin who's been different class for months went off on a stretcher, looked like a break.

*****y Lazio blew my accumulator of Killie Real Leipzig Wolves and Lazio 😡😡😡

[Just Jimmy]

Dortmund were awful. they are so slow and ponderous and dont look like creating at all. Stoger must be in danger of going in summer at least. the fans don't like him and he's done nothing to impress. makes the decision to dump tuchel even more silly.

Looking forward to Arsenal AC Milan starting soon. HT in the early games, Lazio, Marseille and Red Bull Leipzig going through as it stands.

[renato]

Good win for Marseille. Not sure what to expect from Milan tonight, will they turn up, unlike last week...

[HibbyAndy]

Don't think Milan actually played at all bad last week , They were beaten by a better team than them.

I fully expect Arsenal to win tonight

To be fair they’ve been much, much better than they showed that game, partly down to Arsenal but partly that they simply didn’t turn up.

And that chance right there, will probably cost them.

[hibsbollah]

Arsenal looking the likeliest so far. I don't see the fuss about Suso at all :dunno:

[hibsbollah]

The Emirates is so quiet I can hear every word Gattusos shouting :faf:

Was just thinking the same thing. Arsenal the better team.

Oops, peach of a goal by Milan !!

[renato]

Much better, still not started playing yet though!

[hibsbollah]

What a screamer by the Turkish bloke. 0-1.

[HibbyAndy]

screamer

[Hermit Crab]

Some goal that!

[renato]

Oh my days, I can’t believe he’s given that, what a dive!

[green day]

Brutal dive......

[renato]

Rino’s livid, no wonder!

[renato]

That’s an absolute disgrace. Game over, thanks officials.

[green day]

Oh my days, I can’t believe he’s given that, what a dive!


Is that a saying ?

[SJNB Hibby]

Same old arsenal
Always cheatinh

[HibbyAndy]

Go on the Gunners :cb

[hibsbollah]

Scandalous. I feel so sorry for Milan. How that guy gives that 2 yards away with a perfect view... Unbelievable.

[Hermit Crab]

If thats a penalty we are as well giving up on football. Absolutely horrendous decision!!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Is that a saying ?

It's usually me that pulls folk up for using it! :-)

[blackpoolhibs]

At first sight, i thought he had brought him down, but it was soft. Slow motion and he doesn't touch him at all.

[Joe6-2]

Same old arsenal

I *** hate that chant!!

[hibsbollah]

I wonder if Arsène will claim not to have seen that.

[green day]

Im not having a go at renato, genuinely haven't heard it in Scotland - sounds vaguely jamaican?

[renato]

Thought it was commonly used :greengrin

I’m still stunned he’s given that from a couple of yards away, it’s quite incredible.

Skinny jeans look daft on anyone, skinny jeans on Gatusso look great, when he walks he's like a pigeon going for a sheite. :faf:

He should play a mafia hit man in the films. He could beat any manager in a fight, even Conte.

Its was a shocker. Arsenal player overruns ball and throws himself to the ground.

I've just seen the Milan goal again, fantastic.

Aww, I like them 😗

[renato]

What a chance, he’s got to score there.

[HibbyAndy]

Suso dives so is it same old Milan always cheating?

[One Day Soon]

The end of the Juve Atalanta game last night was grotesque. A disgrace really.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Im not having a go at renato, genuinely haven't heard it in Scotland - sounds vaguely jamaican?

I first recall punters on Big Brother (Jade Goody etc) bringing the phrase to prominence.

[renato]

And Suso diving too, hate this cheating.

[green day]

And Suso diving too, hate this cheating.

Oh my days



















:greengrin

Just a bit of furbizia, no?

Another golden chance, should be winning this!

[One Day Soon]

Oh my days



















:greengrin

That is a thing. In London its a thing.

[cabbageandribs1875]

boooooooooooo keeper scores

[renato]

How spawny are Arsenal, awful goalkeeping.

They’ve been very lucky tonight, aided by that horror penalty decision.

As a Lazio boy I'm not so concerned about that. :wink:

Dortmund out to Salzburg, Lyon out to CSKA.

[CockneyRebel]

Arsenal supporters singing the SJM song substituting Ozil for SJM (he's Arsen Wenger's man).
