Up The Arse

Well, Arsenal are in the European Cup Final, and congratulations to them. I don't want to be churlish (voice offstage 'yes you do'), but 1) they richly didn't deserve it - any objective observer would reckon Rangers performance in the same stadium 7 weeks ago was far superior 2) after Arsene's tantrum in the Spurs game on Saturday ("they didn't put the ball out of play when two of my players collided with each other - it's no' fair") tonight we had the perfectly ludicrous sight of the ball being knocked out of play IN ORDER THAT AN UNINJURED PLAYER COULD PUT HIS BOOT BACK ON !!!!! 3) Clive Tiddly's commentary at the end, "Arsenal are through to the final where in all probability they will meet Barcelona - two sides dedicated to playing attacking football in their own distinctive way" - this after having just watched a game in which Arsenal barely crossed the half way line and were entirely dedicated to defence from beginning to end. OK, the end justifies the means but don't give us this 'beautiful game' pish. Much more in a similar vein from this knob during the summer I'm afraid. 4) I hope Barcelona (or Milan) completely gut them in Paris
