Arsenal and Manchester City out of the Champions League? What a great night! | OneFootball

These lovely scorelines have just kept rolling in over the last seven days, Wednesday night the little whinger Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal bit the dust in the Champions League against Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich at the Allianz Stadium.

This was the result that I wanted more than any other.

I will never forgive or forget the way Arteta and Arsenal behaved after Newcastle beat them at St James’ Park back in November.

I wasn’t particularly bothered if Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City progressed or not at the Etihad.

The Champions League holders were held 1-1 after 120 minutes and it was Carlo Ancellotti’s Real Madrid who kept their nerve in the penalty shoot out.

Bernardo Silva made a complete clot of himself when taking his own spot kick. Maybe he needed someone in black and white stripes standing in front of the keeper to deflect it in.

So, the greatest ‘League in the World’ have had their last two remaining teams knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage. It seems the teams at the top of the EPL aren’t quite as good as a lot of people would have us all believe.

It’s on to the Europa League and the Europa Conference games now tonight.

Liverpool and West Ham have mountains to climb against very good sides in Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen and are already as good as out.

No one will lament the loss of Jurgen Klopp’s red scousers. I cannot stand Klopp and think he is a phoney. He has been ideal for Liverpool FC and their thoroughly irritating self-entitled supporters for the last nine years.

Aston Villa should finish the job off against Lille and progress in the Conference and that would round off a good week for Unai Emery’s side after they also defeated Arsenal at the Emirates.

If Newcastle can qualify for it, I think that we could go all the way in next season’s Europa League. It’s a very good competition and has made Sevilla successful and a renowned European competitor over the last 20 years.

I don’t want any other English teams to win anything in Europe anytime soon.

The incredible fawning hype drummed up by the media, leading up to the Arsenal and Manchester City Champions League ties, made the final results oh so sweet.

Arsenal especially are all bluff and I had the pleasure of listening to a Gunners fan calling for Arteta’s head.

” Big club, small time manager” were the words used and it was music to my ears.

Newcastle United are going after the Septics and we may have a few new managers to contend with.

Along with Liverpool, it looks like Arsenal and Manchester United could also be on the look out for new managers.

There will always be some hyped up individual to replace the managers of these cartel clubs.
