And well they, and everyone else, should.

Thanks for the info, OPK.

Liverpool just went up 3-0. Looks like the top four are set.

Interesting off-season for Arsenal coming up. Wenger will likely be back on another two year deal. Still a lot of moving pieces.

Agree. For twenty years all we've heard is "Well, we've made the CL." Now they no longer have that buffer.

And ownership appears to be in play, with fan unrest.

"Interesting" might be an understatement.

Unfortunately NOT football related, but I thought this was a poignant (and actually clever) graphic after the murders in Manchester. A city (and world) coming together.

Very nice. Unfortunate for the circumstances obviously.

FA Cup final coming up. Anyone watching? I know we have Blues and Gunners fans here, I'm neutral but willing to hear why I should pull it for one over the other!

[OldPhiKap]

All else equal, pulling for Wenger so pulling for Arsenal.

Minute of silence for victims of Manchester bombing -- very powerful.

FC Barcelona playing Alaves in Madrid in a couple of hours for the Copa del Rey. Lots of activity out & about in Barcelona tonight, although losing La Liga title to Real Madrid is still stinging the locals a bit.

My knowledge of soccer has now been exhausted....

A great effort today. Bittersweet season. Good end here but missing CL hurts. A frustrating team.

A good final game for Wenger to retire?

Don't think that's happening. Turbulence at ownership level as well.

Amazed we got this done today.

Expect Wenger signs another two year deal. Maybe they'll be some restructuring in the setup of the club, but I doubt it.

Sad to see the season come to a close. My Saturday and Sunday mornings just became a little more boring.

Hope Juve can knock off Real in the UCL final.

With you on Juve. My other side.

Match time approacheth. Really don't have a favorite in this one, but looking forward to the match!

I think that if you cut a cross look at Renaldo, he would fall down and claim a foul.

Very similar to Sergio Ramos...the slight Juan Cuadrado must have some superpowers he was unaware of.
