If you haven't watched the Emirates (second leg) of the Champions League Quarterfinal... maybe don't?The 0-0 draw was almost as boring as that sounds.

Even the Stags manager thinks it’ll be a blowout.Subscribe nowEveryone you
S2E118: Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea (Brighton Preview)(Not Explicit)
As an Arsenal Fan I do really love the color red. I'm happy to say that it quite apparent that Chelsea do, too.Yet, somehow, we contrived to concede MORE possession of the ball to them AFTER Neto earns his YYR and Chelsea are reduced to 10 men. How's that happen? There's something to be learned from this, but for now, the 3 points earned are the value we can take from it now.Brighton u
S2E117 Cockerals 1-4 Cannons (Chelsea Preview)
NLDs bring up a lot of stress for me so I couldn't do a prediction this week. A confident Matt almost nailed the result with his prediction.I'm pleased to be past this week, especially since the rebound from dropping points to the 20th placed team after being two goals up sucked life out of me. Chelsea (and Rosenior, who I'm starting to wonder if Chelsea give the boot and bring in ANOT
S2E116 Wolves 2-2 Arsenal (Fuuudge!!) (NLD Preview)(Extra Explicit)
It's hard to be angry at something you love as much as I love Arsenal. That said, it's also a bit (or a lot) less so when they're up 2-0 against the team that's bottom of the table, and they draw from a late own goal. I can say very honestly that I thought that guy Owen Goal played only for us. To see him score for the other team broke my heart.Can't change the past. Up next is
S2E115Charges Arsenal 4-0 Wigan (Wolves Preview)
"No need to be hasty," Treebeard. Matt did want 2 goals in the first 10', and was 7/10 annoyed when it was just about one, and only at 10'.By the half hour mark when ex-Arsenal Academy player Matt Smith entered the game, his first and only (for now) at the Emirates, the score was a healthy 4-0 and Matt was expectedly a 1/10 annoyed and 10/10 happy.Up next: "The Wolverhampton
S2E114 Brentford 1-1 Arsenal (Wigan Preview)
I don't know how Brentford were able to control this much possession and get the chances they created for themselves. They just kept forcing set pieces that Brentford are very chaotic and often effective. This game was my unfavorite, or at least one of ... moving on.FA Cup on Sunday is Wigan. We should win by a lot. Let's all hope.After that is a relegation battler, and then the NLD. Let&#
S2E113 Arsenal 3-0 Sunderland (Brentford Preview)
Arsenal at home against Sunderland should be a totally different prospect than facing them away, and it was. I was surprised by how much possession they had. It wasn’t that we ceded possession as much as they earned it. But they didn’t know how to break our press in meaningful ways that would create big scoring chances. Three shots on goal, but only a 0.17xG. The result was deserved, even if the f
