Howay Pep, 2-0 up and Arsenal losing, time to rest some players for the final

I know its easy to take the piss out of Arsenal for that but it's got to be pretty expected right? Very slim chance of it happening but there is a chance. On an organisational front, they've got to be prepared for that eventuality in what is one of the richest competitions in world sport. When we won the title with Rafa on the last day as opposed to Brighton despite being 7 points behind with 3 games to go, we had a display board ready to go and you can bet they'd had a practice run of putting it up before a ball was kicked on the final day.

So important for us. As adequate as Burn and Kraft have been (for fourth and fifth choice centre backs) it's on the ball that makes such a difference. So often when the back four had the ball, they were slow and ponderous and passed between themselves, allowing Man U to get into a solid shape. They just let Burn and Kraft have the ball with little to no pressure and you could see why. Whereas Schar's ability to ping a ball instantly across field opens up so many more gaps.

Quality finish

They're hear for the taking, just need to be clinical

world class save, mild applause. It is really odd.

Thought the magpie was brilliant. The sun was shining in just the wrong place at the wrong moment and made the Gallowgate hard to make out on the TV.

Not sure how people are writing off Europe when us not qualifying requires both Chelsea and Man U to win 4 more points than us in only 3 (for us, 2) games.

Barnes has been off the pace since coming on.

Fair play Murphy, don't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket

Is it just me or does this seem like a very long half time?

At least Spurs are currently behind too.

Would love Anderson to finally score. Surprised to see Murphy continue over Barnes but he had a great game last time, so no complaints.

Always rated the bloke.... by which I mean I thought he was a decent striker for the £3million we paid for him, not that I expected to see him scoring in the Champions League semi final
