    Is Salah badly injured ,anyone ?

    Looked like a precautionary taking off, with Salah himself making the decision. My FPL team need him to return quickly!

    Come on, Arsenal!
    _________
    Tuchel to PSG a done deal, according to reports:

    __________
    1-0, Ramsey!
    1-1. Free kick… (Aleksandr Golovin, linked with Arsenal, who took it)
    2-1, Lacazette! (penalty)
    3-1, Ramsey! What a goal! Ronaldo who?
    4-1, Lacazette! Wonderful strike in the left corner of the goal!

    4-1 it is! Good first leg by Arsenal. Need a good performance in Moscow, though. Taking nothing for granted here.

    Not a big fixture, so I guess this was a game for fans only, really.

    Don't think anyone would think differently. I just hope it's Arsenal on the other half of the field in the final.

    @Torgeirtrap it occurred to me Mkyt is on course to win back to back Europa League Cups with different teams, not sure a player has done that in its current format. I hope Arsenal win it, I think it's important for English teams to have as many teams as possible qualify for the CL. This year was a false dawn for English teams to impose themselves in the CL, hopefully next year will be better.

    I think so too, but I’m hoping for a Lazio surprise. At least they went for a good start yesterday, though it will still be a tricky game in Salzburg.

    Without being able to name a single one of their players off the top of my head I think it's a pretty safe bet there's more than a couple Sevilla players who can already lay claim to this feat.

    That's true! Hadn't thought of that. He got injured, though, but hopefully nothing long-term.

    Lazio may surprise, that's for sure. The draw will decide a lot, too. Two big teams may meet each other, for example.

    I meant a player winning back to back Europa leagues playing for different teams.

    Sorry missed that - like the man in the orthopaedic shoe, I stand corrected.

    To be honest I'd be surprised in the modern era as if you won the Europa and then changed teams surely you'd be moving to a team in the CL?

    HAH!


    Regarding moving to a team in the CL, I was quite surprised Mkhitaryan wanted a move to Arsenal. Think the club should feel lucky they even got him.

    Good to see so many Partridge cognisant people here. But then if you go back to page 1 this thread does have its roots in OAP ('I'm 43 you cheeky git') after all.

    Congrats! Don't know about Villa's form, but given that they're fourth, that's not a bad result. :)
