| 3. Author: piepar Date: Tue 8th Apr 2025. 21:33 ….. and again - reminiscent of the thumb for Scotland v Angerland Reply |
| 4. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Tue 8th Apr 2025. 21:38 2 incredible free kicks 3-0 now  Reply |
| 5. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Tue 8th Apr 2025. 21:43 Fantastic free kicks. He’d never scored one in 339 games !  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 6. Author: Pars Athletic Date: Tue 8th Apr 2025. 22:00 Only caught the 2nd half, very impressive arsenal performance Reply |
| 7. Author: Paralex Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 11:00 Looks like Declan`s attitude was, "If you thought the first one was good, check this out". The second strike could not have been placed any better. Surely it was the game of his life. Arsenal need one more great game to reach the last four. Reply |
| 8. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 12:44 I never expected Arsenal to get anywhere near a draw never mind a comfortable win. The first time a player has scored 2 free kicks in a Champions league game, and what beauties they were. They bend on thar first one, wow. The player that scored the 3rd was the player I was thinking off that got used as a striker when Arsenal were struggling with injuries. (A suggestion I made on another thread) Pars fan. Magpies fan.

| 9. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 15:10 Arsenal home and dry, surely - or are they? Against any other opponent, I would say they`d be 95%+ to go through, but Real have made it a habit of rescuing seemingly lost causes in the CL in recent years. A big factor in the Gunners` favour is that they don`t have to chase the game and leave themselves open on the counter to their lightning fast strikers. If they make it through, it will arguably be their finest ever European result.  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 10. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 16:00 Real have had many comebacks but never from a three goal deficit. They won’t turn this around either. I thought they were fortunate to get past their city rivals. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 11. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 17:20 Raymie the Legend, Wed 9 Apr 16:00 I`m fairly certain they overturned a heavy defeat v Anderlecht, perhaps in the UEFA Cup? Just googled it. 0-3 in Brussels, 6-1 in Madrid. Long time ago, though. 1984. 🙂 Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 12. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 17:30 Rice’s first goals from a free kick in 338 appearances… You’ve got to imagine that this isn’t a skill he learnt in the last few weeks, - amazing accuracy with plenty power, my gob was smacked…  Reply |
| 13. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 18:00 He said in one of his post match interviews he normally hits it over the bar or it goes straight into the wall. Did Real have shortest stature wall ever? Reply |
| 14. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 19:36 I watched the game on an Italian channel and I don`t think Real could have felt hard done by if they`d lost 4 or 5-0. I was also amazed that the Italian commentators were able to inform their TV audience that Rice had never previously score from a free kick in 338 previous games. You might reasonably expect English commentators to have done their homework, but not those from another country. Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 15. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 21:14 3 great goals in the PSG v Aston Villa game Reply |
| 16. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 21:23 Last goal was a great move and great finish. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 17. Author: Jeffery Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 21:43 Disasi, who came on at half time, is getting absolutely roasted. Reply |
| 18. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 21:53 Another good goal and now the tie is over. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Wed 09 Apr 21:53) Reply |
| 19. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Wed 9th Apr 2025. 22:44 That late goal may have killed the tie but Villa could very well pull back a 2 goal deficit. Remember a few years back when one team was leading 4 nil after the first leg,only to lose the match. Villa are excellent going forward so I wouldn`t rule them out just yet. I also believe that Arsenal aren`t guaranteed to win the tie yet. Nothing is set in stone yet, apart from Barcelona. Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan.

| 20. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 16th Apr 2025. 18:57 Return leg tonight. Arsenal fans may be thinking they`re home and dry, but I think it may turn out to be a very close run affair. Real have been given permission by UEFA to close the retractable roof in order to crank up the volume in a sold-out stadium. How Arsenal`s players react will be crucial. If Real score first time before halftime, it`ll be game on. There are definitely goals in Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr and Mbappe. If they can stop Arsenal scoring, they have at least a chance of taking the game to ET. In recent years, Liverpool overturned a 0-3 v Barcelona at Anfield and Barca themselves secured a stunning 6-1 win v PSG after ET, after going down 0-4 in Paris. Arsenal may yet regret not scoring the 4th goal their play deserved last week. Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
