The Republic of Ireland are 28th, while Scotland fall nine places to 56th and Wales 12 to 57. Northern Ireland rise 12 spots to 117th

Really? I'd have thought Scotland would be further down than that seeing how gash they've been recently.

I have to agree. It should be a celebration, we are still as high as 56th

It still means, on the scale of gashness, that there are 55 teams less gash than us.

The future is bright. Wales are gasher than us..... even before Fletcher was included in the squad.

end to end stuff in Russia. AC 2 up in Zenit. Two very good goals too. AC's keeper keeps out a close range power drive from Hulk from a free kick right outside the box.

2-2 game on...

---------- Post added at 18:41 ---------- Previous post was at 18:06 ----------

AC 3-2 up through an o.g. Considering how this games gone thats left a bad taste in my mouth. AC's keeper just kept another decent shot out. As well as hes been that volley should of gone in to level it up. the games kind of bored tbh in a huge part of the second half.

Well soon your team will be playing great man and really they should have no problem beating Olympiakos tonight in my opinion..

thenry · 03-10-2012, 19:14

it should be another free flowing game. no extra man in midfield!

Arsenal: Mannone, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Coquelin, Cazorla, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Podolski.
Subs: Shea, Santos, Djourou, Arshavin, Ramsey, Walcott, Giroud.

Colin what do you make of the change Mancinis made at CB?

I am glad he isn't using lescott, I have never been comfortable with him in defence.
Dzeko up front is worth a go, with tevez coming on against tired legs

I hope it is 3-1 Man City. But with City, yoiu can never tell what will happen

Oh, my opinion is still out on nasri...still to convince me he is worth a place

denphone · 03-10-2012, 19:44

If City don't start well tonight l have my worries about City's naivety they are showing in Europe at times.

thenry · 03-10-2012, 20:38

Arsenal havent got going. the rain fell pretty heavy and both sides become sloppy mispassing and all. 1-1 at HT.

I caught Jef saying its end to end at City

denphone · 03-10-2012, 20:40

Yes it seems the age old problem of Arsenal's poor defending has still not been solved.

Yes, it is killing me. But on bright side, I have stopped shouting at TV

Damn..they lost a goal while typing

If i see another city player pass the ball across their own back four (3), I'll jump into the tv and throttle him

denphone · 03-10-2012, 21:09

There are increasing problems building up at City and in my mind a lot of it is down to Mancini's poor tactical grasp of Europe but also down to him not strengthening the side enough in the summer where he buys a 19 year old defender who clearly is not ready but also purchasing Rodwell who has yet to prove he is up to this level.

The problem isn't rodwell, or nasty

The seasoned players are being poor in defence, that includes Kompany

Tonight, silva has passed some lackadesical passes, giving the ball away too easily. There are a yard off the pace. I don't see them as positive, they are too keen on passing sideways or backwards, or worse, passing to opposition
