Of course the good thing is that by the time we play in the CL again, Ronaldo, Messi and Robben will have retired, so we might not get so very gubbed.

Happy days.

Not just yet surely? I suppose we have to beat United when we play them, perhaps next weekend, not sure.

I wouldn't back either Manchester side to win their games at the moment so not impossible.

FTR ... I don't think we will.

It will at least make a change to not be in it. We all want change....

Next three games. Home to Mourinho, away to Southampton, away to Stoke. Pretty safe to say it is gone.

Would be nice to beat United either way. Cant really see it though.

Okay, there are parts of the above I was unaware of.

Wenger out.

Wobbliness update?

Still wobbling. Perhaps a fractional improvement? It's hard to say, really.

I shall give it another few days and then seek a doctor who is competent at, you know, doctoring.

Good.

We don't need the money and the CL is a waste of everyone's time until there are changes in the club, anyway.

More importantly, what did the wee chap at LRK serve you?

The bread. THE BREAD! Snails with the balrey miso. Asparagus with stuff. Something esle, can't remember. Then a prok chop. My word. A pork chop from a 18 month old beast, aged like beef, cooked over charcoal. Absolutely stunning. Some hazelnut nonsense for dessert. Couple of bottle of Gevrey-Chambertin, for which he raped me firmly in the bottom. (£120 a bottle! Thief.)

Anyway, it was a truly terrific meal and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to chef/owner James as he presented each dish and explained the full family history of each item on the plate, the autistic wánker.

I made Lancashire hotpot the next day. It was much nicer.

The Europa league could be good opportunity for a new manager to get things back on track. Winning it would be a great way to qualify for the CL. Sadly I can see Arsene hanging around, and treating the Europa as a European league Cup. He really isn't the man to take things forward from this point.

Oh so your home made Lancashire hotpot was much nicer than my restaurant recommendation was it? Oh well that's just lovely that is. Good to see my recommendation was appreciated. :rolleyes:

Bloody ingrate.

I made a cracking fish stew. Stock made from fish trimmings, white wine, tarragon and saffron. Jersey Royals boiled in the saffrony stock, big chunks of hake, prawns, mussels and topped with a bream fillet. All with lovely crusty French bread (well, Belgian, strictly speaking) and finished with a dash of cream.

It was just a reiteration of the fact that, whilst fayne dayning is enjoyable from time to time, you can't beat good, honest, non-poncey grub.

I'm not sure either Wenger or our players are much interested in the UEFA cup, to be honest, so let's just hope we qualify for the CL.

T, Manchester United have never won it, and even with Jose Mourinho in charge they're still struggling to win it. How do you imagine our Carling cup team is going to get on, when it couldn't even win the bloody Carling cup :-\

:shakehead: Spot reverts to the league now - no more cup-runners up (think Hull were the last ). From uefa.com

• Performances in domestic leagues will be rewarded. If a national cup winner has booked a UEFA Champions League spot, the highest-ranked club in their domestic league not already qualified for the UEFA Europa League will qualify for the competition; national cup runners-up no longer qualify.

That makes sense. After all, the whole point of the Premier League is that it pays so well.
