Today's football.

Underestimate us, you do. The stadium annoys me, I remember watching us on TV at Highbury and the fans looked so close to the pitch and the atmosphere was at times fierce. I think your assessment of our performance in the champions league in recent years is a tad unfair as we have more often than not come up against the form team in the second round. Real Madrid went a number of years without getting past the R16, would you have suggested they just give up and let others have a go at the competition?

It wasn't all that at Highbury either, if I remember correctly. It's definitely even worse now though, I agree.

No, huge clubs like Real Madrid and great players like Ronaldo would be missed in the competition. Arsenal wouldn't be missed for that reason and they don't add any excitement of any other nature such as creating an intimidating home atmosphere. Perhaps that's why you've been spanked every time you've played someone good. Good home support can count for a lot. It helped Liverpool a lot in 2005, for example. It also meant their games weren't mind-numbingly boring, even if the football wasn't great.
 


If Atletico get beat today, and Real Madrid win their game in hand, the 2 teams will be level on points with 2 games left.

The thing in Spain is, they don't decide league position on goal difference, they use head-to-heads, and earlier in the season Atletico drew with Madrid and beat them, so they'd finish above Real Madrid if everything was level.

It's a hell of a finish to the La Liga season.

Thing that's really tasty is barca potentially beating Atletico to hand the title to Real
