Europa Semi Finals

Atheltico are a throw back to how I always imagined Spanish and Italian teams could ' stop ' the opposition - pushes, shoves, trips, etc....
 
Lovely play from Costa that.
 
Is Bellerin the worst crossing right back? So many squandered opportunities.
 
Learn how to cutback, Arsenal.

They've got in behind quite a few times and keeping doing the Valencia special of hitting it across the six yard box only for it to be blocked by the first man.
 
Costa is such a good player. How Chelsea let him go is a mystery.
 
Pressure from Arsenal but they're not really creating anything

They play too many passes and are way too hesitant to score. They can't defend either. Actually seeing clearly now how horrible they are as a team and how poor a job Wenger has done, must be a pain watching their games this season.
 
Atletico are all over Arsenal in the 2nd half, cmon get a 2nd goal to kill the game!

Bellerin must watch daily videos of Valencia. Can't pick a man out from a cross/pull back for toffee. Always been horrific at this.
 
At this point, Atletico are just a shit team. No excitement, no passing game, no build-up, no flair players. Just hoping on scraping through every game with some cheap striker goals or set pieces. They really have gone backwards.

And don't come at me with this "boring Man Utd" or "boring Mourinho" shit. His football is dire, but it produced a 3 goal comeback after going 2 down away at City. Is there any chance that would have happened with Atletico? Surely not. They rather draw with fecking Qarabag (home and away:mad:).

Their football is not even successfull in big games anymore which was always their strong point. 8 big games for them this season (Barca, Real in La Liga plus Roma and Chelsea in CL) and they won 1 out of 8, at home against Roma.
 
Well since you are a nobody and I am a nobody, would it not be sensible to go by the rule book?
This nobody is still entitled to an opinion though. :p

Back to the point. Diving, if it is caught on the night is a yellow but it is still common opinion that it is cheating that should be stamped out of the game. So the fact that intentional fouling is a yellow card offence doesn't mean that it should be treated any different than diving.
