View Full Version : If Arsenal win the Champions League.
And finish 2nd in the league, and Liverpool win the league.
Who's had the better season?
Arsenal. Granted they've not won the PL in forever, but a first CL title would be huge for them. Liverpool winning the league is just massively underwhelming because of the ease in which they've won it. But still big for them to get their first PL title without a * by it
i don't think arsenal have what it takes to win the CL, you can quote me later. Arsenal have been mediocre this season

They've had some difficult injuries to contend with, and some ill-timed suspensions. Looked a different team last night when Saka came on to team up with Martinelli and Trossard.

It would be close tbf.
But speaking for myself I think that there would be no greater feeling than being told that you were the best team in Europe.
If that was my team achieving that I honestly think that I would be stunned into silence lol.
And finish 2nd in the league, and Liverpool win the league.
Who's had the better season?Obviously Liverpool. The championship is the main trophy.

their chances of winning the CL must have shot up after last nights brilliant display
Yeah, i don't like Arsenal, but watching those free kicks go in last night gave me chills
He's not even supposed to be a great free kick taker. As good as he was at West Ham we were clearly massively sleeping on his set piece ability
Also I really dislike Arsenal but a Champions League win is easily bigger than the Premier League
it was basically the same shot repeated, so it was RM's bad defence that let the 2nd one in
And finish 2nd in the league, and Liverpool win the league.
Who's had the better season?
Arsenal winning the CL and 2nd in league is more impressive than winning the PL in a mediocre season
Liverpool haven’t really excelled themselves and should win by a landslide ( I seem to recall predicting them to win back in July - due to their 5 strikers )
( they do have a fairly challenging run in though)

Courtois made some decent saves, certainly not his fault Real lost with big numbers
Real lacks someone of the caliber Sergio Ramos, or a Cannavaro, someone who can lead and keep everything solid in the defensive positions
Camavinga's second yellow, well he was already suspended for the return anyway so i doubt he cared about getting that red card in extra time :joker:

the return leg will be a nail-biter but at least we had that night :love:
just hope it isn't PSG that win the whole thing. Some great talent sure, but sick of oil-rich clubs with no real history dominating

Well Villa will need the biggest performance in their club's history to overcome that 3-1 deficit against PSG next week. I don't see it happening, realistically PSG only need 1 goal to guarantee their place in the last 4

Villa will fly out of the blocks and kick the living sh1te out of PSG ..
It’s just a matter of how strong PSG are and how weak the referee is on the night
Trend setting.

Real Madrid have closed the stadium roof in an attempt to intensify the crowd noise
It is 121 games since Arsenal lost by 3 clear goals

Might as well give in now if that red card leg breaker on Saka is just a yellow !!
What happened to VAR !!!!
Bellingham dragged Skelly down - no yelllow ???
Defender drops Merinow with an elbow to the neck right in front of the referee
Just plays on
How do they get away with kind of thing time after time. . Year after year
Asensio hacks down Martinelli from behind in front of the referee who acknowledges the foul but lets play continue but doesn’t book him afterwards
This is diabolical refereeing
Wow
Referee gives Arsenal a penalty !!
Maybe someone has had a word with him
LoL
Saka could have had 3 by the 13th minute
Liking the look of Merinho more and more
He’s quite a player even out of position
What a crazy 28 minutes
Still 0:0
Mbappe cheating bar steward
Asensio is another cheat - thuggish as well
He’s made a couple of decent decisions but Real Madrid are fouling constantly off the ball which is being missed and they are routinely falling to the front and the ref is giving fouls
He’s just too soft and not experienced enough for a match of this size
Rudiger continues to smash into people
Not booked yet
This ref has missed about 40 fouls by Real Madrid but manages to see a foul THROW by Arsenal .. something that is rarely ever picked up on ..
Zizu, please man. I like you, but fck a duck.
All over. Well played Arsenal.
Rudiger just stamped all over Skelly
I just don’t understand how Rudiger gets away with so many horrendous things
He’s even known for them
Too little too late, but such a silly mistake
Saka scored !!
4:0 aggregate to Arsenal
Saka should have had 4 to be fair- he’s not been at his best imho
Interesting
Saliba and Timber have both just made a few careless mistakes and now Saliba has made a right bloomer for the equaliser
4:1 aggregate
I’m amazed Martinelli and Saka are still able to walk

It isn't easy to answer, but I would say Liverpool has had a better season overall due to their domestic cup runs. Winning the Champions League would be incredible for player recruitment and football heritage, but I don't start a season thinking about winning the ECL due to Wengers consistent round-of 16 exits, I do, in the last three seasons, think about if Arsenal can finally get over the line in the league
Anyway, what a performance. Spanked the champions in their backyard
Two great assists from my guy Merino
Smile
Interesting semi finals
I obviously want Barca to beat Inter
Either of Arsenal or PSG would please me as both play lovely football
Partey will be a big miss but I would imagine PSG will be just too much for the Gunners
5-1
Arsenal have been bloody terrific
All with a midfielder playing at CF !!
Incidentally what was Saka thinking with that penalty ?
Anyone ?
Surely you only do a chip like that in the centre of goal. ???
Crazy how poor Real Madrid are this season
Pretty sure Barca have beaten them two or three times and fairly easily -all with a team if kids and two old Polish guys

the return leg will be an absolute piece of piss
fixed that I guess
personally, i think any team that gets to the quarter finals of the CL has shown their quality. From that point forward, it's pretty random who will end up winning it.
Liverpool haven't had an exceptional season, it's just the media that have built them up. I honestly think the PL has completely gone off the boil. It's largely boring these days

PSG and Barca might've lost their return matches, but they did just enough to advance and that is what counts more
Donnarumma deffo saved PSG vs Villa with quite a few stunning saves, as well as Pacho (whom made errors yes, but in the final minutes of the game, a on the line save from a shot by Ian Maatsen)
Arsenal did amazing in that Bernabeu also winning there, you know how difficult teams have it there, but Real Madrid need to rebuild their squad next season, especially in the defensive areas they need to reinforce

PSG only scraped past Villa tbf.
So there's hope for the Gunners.:fc:

Villa brutalised PSG in that second half
They left left ‘something’ on an opponent in virtually every challenge especially McGinn , Digne and Cash .
That’s why when Villa play Newcastle they don’t really need a ball
I think PSG will just pass around and through the Arsenal team
Barca v PSG would be an amazing final
A true 50:50

If Arsenal win the CL it will be massive for the club and their fans and they wont give a tuppenny fck about Liverpool and what they win
Could we factor in man Utd or Tottenham into the equation, if we include how dire they have been all season. If one of them wins the Europa.:shrug:

oh well, still a few english european cup finals i think
quite likely Chelsea in the conference league final
and very likely but you never know heading for a Man U vs Spurs europa league final
Nicky91
08-05-2025, 08:15 AM
and easy to explain Man U, Spurs in the lower half of PL, maybe they invested more into their european cup campaigns, and doing just enough to survive the PL
like Sevilla usually in La Liga, they also are often in the lower half of the table
the way arsenal are going at the moment, they could lose 2nd spot in the league too

this weekend Arsenal are playing away vs Liverpool (whom are already champions) got nothing left to play for, so they're likely to be doing some squad rotations
but 3 points are necessary for Arsenal, especially given Newcastle at home vs Chelsea, and Man City away vs a relegated Southampton whom also got nothing left to play for but maybe the honour of ending their PL season on a positive note, going back to the championship with a slightly better feeling than chancelessly relegated
Spurs might end up finishing 17th and have a better season than Arsenal :skull:

Despite around 23 DEFEATS this season thus far ( all competitions ) ??
Arsenal have reportedly tested Ipswich’s resolve with a £50 million offer for Delap !!
Sadly there’s a handful of clubs interested
Spurs might end up finishing 17th and have a better season than Arsenal :skull:
The Utd/Spurs final is gonna be so unpredictable. No one would be shocked if it was 0-0 after 120 mins, or 3-3 at half time :laugh:

I will be cheering for Spurs due to a long term hating of ManU and a long time adoration of some Spurs legends … namely Jimmy Greaves , Glen Hoddle, Chris Waddle , Gazza and David Ginola !!
Interesting that Spurs have lost Maddison and Son whilst ManU seem to have just ‘found’ Mason Mount !!
