Two of the worst penalties you are ever likely to see in the CL.
England constantly does poor in the competition. This year, Liverpool knocked out in the group stages. The rest knocked out in the round of 16(once barca see off city tomorrow). Embarrasing, really. I recognize that we love seeing the top 4 clubs fuck up in CL play, but at the same time, it reflects poorly on English football.
I guess England can take solace in Germany being a one club league and Spain being a 2 club + sometimes atletico league though ensuring England maintain 4 CL places due to competitiveness and the relative closeness between 5 or 6 clubs. Losing a place and giving it to another league would be a joke and a nightmare for UEFA as no other league really deserves it.
No they don'tGermany and Spain have higher coefficient ratings than England. It will only be if Italy can get more will we lose our 4th place. This will be the first time in 5 years that they will have more points than us though. So as long as it is a blip and this doesn't happen again for the next 2 years we should be pretty safe.
Dont know why you are surprised. Man's an A Class ****.So Wenger believes Monaco didn't deserve to go through. Does he remember how Arsenal played in the home leg?!

No they don't
Here are the current ratings based on this seasons results so far
1. Spain 94.713
2. England 80.105
3. Germany 77.986
4. Italy 66.010
People make alot about this but we are not at risk of losing our 4th place spot even if we do poor after 2 seasons
Italy aren't doing well in the CL only one club managed to get past the group stage. They are beating us on Europa league with 5 teams in the round of 16. That said 3 of the italian teams are about to get knocked out. So that leaves Everton and 2 europa league teams and 1 in the CL. However we have a 11 point lead that will be lost over the next two season, though they have to carry on for 3 years with us not making the quarters and failing in europa to overtake us
One of the reason why england done poor is because Hull got knocked out by a shocking Belgium team.
As for Germany, they have had a good year and probably will overtake us unless Everton carry on progressing or if Man City overturn their deficit. However they will only have 1 or 2 teams in the CL, if they have 2 then italy will have none, which helps us. They also only have one team in the EL. So in a weeks time we may be saying that they aren't going to overtake us.
So Wenger believes Monaco didn't deserve to go through. Does he remember how Arsenal played in the home leg?!
Always funny when the manager says Monaco didn't deserve to go through, but Meatstacker & Ramsey said the first leg showed why Monaco DID deserve to go through.
I only watched the finaly 5-10 mins last night, but boy did Monaco look amateur in those few mins. Some of the defending wouldn't have looked out of place in the local park on a Sunday morning.
