Ange must fall

I hardly think it's fair to pick out the manager, when individual player errors were the reason for all four goals.

I'm seeing the glass half full... at least they are still in with a chance in the 2nd leg of the Europa League quarters.

Spurs should by all accounts, have won the 1st leg match. Now they have it all to do. COYS

That’s the only thing keeping him in a job.

Beeeg night at Villa Park, and one expects the Villans to be up for it.  Can hardly wait.

Arsenal kicked Real Madrid butt, twice.  FIVE - ONE.

Bonus:  Harry Kane in tears after losing somewhere else.

More than RM being poor, I think Arsenal were fantastic in their game strategy. They killed RM!!

And I think think Harry Kane will be in tears.... he is used to this! Hahahaaa

Congratulations to Arsenal on eventuality (16 years later) reaching the semi final stage of the Champions League.

Arsenal are definitely in with a shout this season, as the other semifinalists are definitely beatable on Arsenal's current Champions League form.

PSG showed they were vulnerable against villa. But I still rate them to pip the gunners. 
 

but we need an English team in the final…keeps the pubs in business. Good to see the gooners support last night. Not a cheap thing to do. Hats off. 
 

and, even more importantly , I got my grubby paws on tickets to the non league finals on 11 May at the mighty Wembley. Going with the Aldershot lot. 4 non league sides in their first ever finals at Wembley, it’s gonna be epic. Aldershot were initially allocated 7000 seats, being the bottom tier of Wembley with the option of going onto tier 2 if the 7000 were sold out. I queued for an hour ( online) to get my tickets. Managed to get for me and my lads in the lower tier. Within 90 minutes Aldershot sold out their 7000 and the tier above it and now have been allocated the upper tier. Quite crazy considering the other sides have sold less than 7000. Non league football is where it’s at these days. Proper non glam hardcore football. So, off to Wembley for a final…never been to a final at Wembley, been to a semi years ago with saints. And bonus, with my 3 boys. Day out in the sun sinking pints, watching footie and kicking some heads in my bovva boots. Ahhh , nostalgia hey.

To put it into perspective. All the sides were given about 7000 tickets as an initial allocation which is the lower tier.  Aldershot have now sold out that, plus the second tier and now half the top tier so Wembley have given more tickets for the entire block. 
 

no one expected this level of demand, and we still have to wait for payday buyers.

4 non-league sides doing same day finals at Wembley, and with excellent support.  Sounds brilliant, loads of fun.

Big big win for Spurs in Germany. That's a place in the Europa Cup semifinal. COYS

It's hard to believe that Spurs actually won this match on a solid defensive performance... where did that come from....? SMH

Ange keeps his job. Think the semi should go spurs way too. 
 

final, well, that’s a different story. But spurs should be favourites for this trophy. 
 

the other game was a thriller by all accounts. I didn’t watch it but will check highlights.
