Football season 2016/17

Why do Aresenal bother playing in the Champions League?
They even get battered in that.

Why do England bother to enter into the World Cup Dony mention 1966 as we all know a Russian linesman won it

I'm more a club football fan,but if you insist

How have SA done in World Cups? Never been out of the group stages.
But you have abandoned Them and decided to follow Italy,was you born in Rome or Milan.
Bit like the overseas English cricketers you deride on many occasions,you are a fair weather fan. :lol:

Two world cups including beating England 36-0 on the way to the final in Paris where we beat you again in the final.

The Invincibles lost 3-0 to Inter in that seasons Champions League.Shows how poor the PL was that year.
You even lost at home to Olympiacos,who had the worse CL record of any club.Then the battering you took in Kiev.Your team just can't do it in Europe.
Look at how many trophies the delude lot have won away from England,you haven't got the backbone to do it.

And I thought this was a football thread.

No need to tell me what I already know., but you to be in it to win it. Chelsea in it this season? Can't even beat Rapid Vienna where Terry and Ivanovic were out run and out played. Imagine what Andy Carroll and Payet are going to do to your mug team on the opening day of the season,

Friendlies and charity games are just that.Face facts,Arsenal are appaling in Europe.They lack heart and the winning mentality.
You only play well when the pressure if off,hence the reason you go on those winning runs after your out of contention for PL.like last season.
You may have got pleasure from pipping Spurs to 2nd,but if your honest,you know Spurs had the greater season and looked close to winning PL for a While.
You just bottled it as you always do,no heart.

Look at Ozil and Mertesacker running back against Liverpool.
NO HEART

You mention Ozil and Mertesaker yet those two have got what no England player has received for 50 years :whistle:
