I get your point but playing in China when you are in your prime and still earning big money in Europe. Surely there is a line......

Maybe if you're one of the top players then yes.
But when players Pelle get the chance to earn £250k pw it's a no brainier.
What would he have been on at Southampton?

Can't believe I'm saying this but what a joke Arsenals fixture is tonight for their fans.

Absolutely No consideration towards travelling fans, 8pm on a Bank Holiday night to the north east is ridiculous, I reckon they won't get home till the very early hours as traffic will be a nightmare and then be back at work Tuesday.

Why couldn't it be a 4pm kick off, treat the bank holiday as a Sunday.

1 PL match only and at 8pm, shocking fixture.

Totaly agree, BUT, in the past that may have worked. Now, wit so many people working on BH's, attendance and viewing figures would be effected.

Clubs and fans take the money so have to accept the consequences.

I mean the improved "product".

Fan's all like the international stars at their clubs and the ease of being able the watch the games sat at home. These are the consequences of of the tv deals.

And whilst for match goers i have sympathy, they make up a tiny proportion of a clubs revenue stream and harshly are considered accordingly.

Spurs are a better team at the moment and Chelsea not kept a clean sheet in last 10 games or so. Plenty still to play for.

I don't want Spurs to beat Arsenal but if they do and go on to win the title then fair play to them. They've lost less games than Chelsea and scored more goals, you wouldn't say that it wasn't deserved.

I have a funny feeling that they might nick it on goal difference.

Hats off to you fella for your brutal honesty, even more so considering who you support 👍

shame he doesnt have brutal honesty about his own team

He's simply in denial or massively deluded and a lost soul.

It's more anti-Chelsea than you'd actually believe possible!

Just a smoke screen to vent his dislike of the blues in an alternative (cowards) way without being direct and honest in saying outright that he'd prefer his north London and biggest rivals to win the league over us.

Decent free kick by Sanchez to give Arsenal the lead. Not a great game and Boro look poor. Still can't see Arsenal getting CL footie even with a win tonight and can't see Boro staying up even if they still have a game in hand.

Even with a win tonight, athough they've now been pegged back, and taking Liverpools 66/33, Arsenal are 9 points adrift even if they win those games in hand there still 3 away, and that's with needing 3 points tonight and not losing any more games . I think this CL ship has well and truly sailed.
