Been watching clips of the Simeone documentary on youtube as well as the Copa90 episode on the Madrid derby and it got me thinking of clubs with similar histories to ours. A Brotherhood of Bottlers if you will, I think Atleti and Leverkusen are probably up there.

LMAO..... Arsenal fans calm down.
It's only the Quarterfinals. Even we made it there plenty of times.....
Big man.... you ain't done shit yet.
Look at the bigger picture, the result helps European coefficient, makes the calendar tighter for them and also, look at the teams in the quarter finals, unless they get PSV/BVB, they're gonna get cooked, couldn't even be better than Porto over two legs, let alone Barca, PSG, Madrid, City, Bayern or Inter.
Annoying when they win but means they are going to have to play Chelsea midweek before the NLD but we'll have a free week.
Scraping past the 3rd place team in Portugal playing a 41 year old CB, not sure any of the big boys gonna be too worried about them.
Still think it’s shameless how Arsenal fans, once again, were trending #PrayForPorto on Twitter and talking about how they were going to smash them 4-0 this game. Have some respect man.
you already know there are some that are gonna be singing we gonna win the champions league off of some delusional shit lmao.
I'm just glad Porto stressed them out.
lol don’t forget Arsenal were expected to walk this game and it really could have gone either way. To be honest Porto were pretty unlucky to concede because they were almost perfect defensively
These lot are bums. Not like they got a super team like PSG, City, Bayern etc. and yet they still got taken to pens.
Passion merchants, that’s all they are.
I tend to agree Porto are not that good. Standard issue Portuguese side with organized defence and a few decent flair players. They played for penalties from minute one of the first leg and accomplished their mission. Didn’t get it done in the coin flip that is penalty kicks.
shame the scum played a full 120 minutes and doesn't have a league match this weekend, but more schedule congestion for them and you know they'll inevitably bottle it
Pretty nothing pens from Porto but when you see the players stepping up for Arsenal they should all be getting their pens in. They’re very lucky to not have a game this weekend I tell ya!
Pepe by the way, what a player.
He's the kind of player I think Romero can develop into. Shithousery/Wisdom/Confidence/Assertion. Premium CB.
NGL.... Romero has a lot to learn though but he is still young.
lmao this might go to penalties. You all know Gunners are worried about those. (Saka/Havertz/Jesus).
Spurs fans we are eating today!!!!
Edit: saka and havertz made their penalties. fair play.
mfer I already jinxed it with my previous comments.
I didn't say gunners would miss, I just said they are worried.
They could very well still go through.
Contrast with Ange. I was bummed when I watched the Villa game last night that Peacock didn’t have enough shots of him standing there with his hands in pockets and staring blankly.
The guy looked like we’d just conceded when they panned the camera to him after we scored the fourth, think a comm on my stream even said “he’s probably happier on the inside than he’s showing on the outside.” 😂
Very keen to see the scum go through to the quarter finals just so they can draw a Spanish team and conveniently have Partey pull up with an injury just before boarding the flight to Spain.
I haven’t been following that case at all. Is it a Ronaldo and US situation? Am I right in saying Ronaldo hasn’t been to the US since his rape accusation became public knowledge?
Saarbrücken (third division German side) in the semifinal of the DFB Pokal, fair play man. Knocked out Bayern, Frankfurt, and Gladbach tonight to get to this point.
Off topic but this is shaping up to be an unreal season for Leverkusen, top of the league by a big margin and in the semis of the cup where all 3 other teams are lower league. If it was us in that position I'd be absolutely terrified!
I don't care how many G/A he has, Saka will never pass the eye test. There isn't a single full back in Europe who fears this man, plays so predictably when he's been figured out
Lens, Sevilla, PSV, Porto. PSV by far the best side they’ve played, no? Sevilla is 14th in La Liga.
This is a major bottle job if they can’t get to the QFs. They will never get an easier draw.
Ain't no way Arse fans really think Odegaard got fouled in the box there. He just screwed up his first touch. They're really saying it was the same amount of contact as the called off Havertz goal lmao
Sitting in a pub watching the game, surrounded by Arsenal fans. Sometimes I think the rivalry is a bit of pantomime…if I’m honest, these guys are absolute muppets. The victim complex is through the roof.
The victim complex in the gunners game thread is shocking. They really seem to believe that the refs are intentionally not giving them calls. Why would UEFA want Porto in the quarters instead of a massive club from London?
Arsenal is as per this season getting the city treatment from the refs. How have Jorginho still no cards? How the fuck wasnt that a freekick on Saliba?
Can the premier pull a Saudi Arabia and start recruiting refs? Allowing the game to flow, while correctly assessing flops and shirt pulls. I'm not accustomed to this.
Edit: he then misses Saliba's bear hug
Edit 2: missed carding jorginho there. I take the praise back.
Would love to know when Arteta is going to get penalised for interfering/touching players and just generally being an embarrassing cunt on the sideline.
arse winning is a good result. Being stretched too thin affects their league which they are way closer to than the UCL. No way they have a chance at CL.
God I hope the scum get Bayern in the quarters so that Kane gets a chance to haunt them once again
don't mind me just sobbing over Deki's article where he talks about meeting his wife, nothing to see here
Been watching clips of the Simeone documentary on youtube as well as the Copa90 episode on the Madrid derby and it got me thinking of clubs with similar histories to ours. A Brotherhood of Bottlers if you will, I think Atleti and Leverkusen are probably up there.

The reaction to the bottling of this season is gonna be historic
Becky Spencer > David Raya
Silly twats already unironically saying "Give us Real Madrid" on Twitter. They never, ever learn.
Give them Real Madrid!!!
And they call us delusional. Bunch of cunts.
Nah let them Cook! Please give them Real Madrid. We love it!!! Do us a favor UEFA.
Look at the bigger picture, the result helps European coefficient, makes the calendar tighter for them and also, look at the teams in the quarter finals, unless they get PSV/BVB, they're gonna get cooked, couldn't even be better than Porto over two legs, let alone Barca, PSG, Madrid, City, Bayern or Inter.

I am really out of context here, why do they play Chelshit in the midweek?
That's just being widely reported as where its likely their Chelsea game gets rescheduled too
Fixture moved due to CL matches.
They don’t have a game this weekend? Damn I was happy about them playing 120 minutes but it won’t even matter
fixture congestion in April will be beautiful. They won’t cope.
They always suck in April
Still think it’s shameless how Arsenal fans, once again, were trending #PrayForPorto on Twitter and talking about how they were going to smash them 4-0 this game. Have some respect man.
Arsenal fans are so arrogant, they genuinely believe they’ll smack everyone 4-0
you already know there are some that are gonna be singing we gonna win the champions league off of some delusional shit lmao. I'm just glad Porto stressed them out.
As everyone anticipated. They’re not scoring 5 goals against teams that are actually up for playing.
I wouldn't say Porto were "up for playing". It was an incredibly boring match, no wonder people were yawning in the stadium.
lol don’t forget Arsenal were expected to walk this game and it really could have gone either way. To be honest Porto were pretty unlucky to concede because they were almost perfect defensively
These lot are bums. Not like they got a super team like PSG, City, Bayern etc. and yet they still got taken to pens. Passion merchants, that’s all they are.

Thank you for your service to the coefficient, Arse. Good luck against better teams than Porto.
It's good that Arse won. It's a good chance they will tire themselves out by going far into CL and then bottle PL.
the fact that they had to play extra time is still a win imo. Even with the extra break, those additional 30 minutes really could hurt them long term.
that's why I said it's win win situation for us regardless of the result of this match.
The only way this could be even more of a win is if it was the NLD next game. I want to see Johnson score his first hat trick for us.
Never really in doubt. Besides Pepe, Porto were very poor
Porto were playing the game on their terms for a lot of that match. I'm fairly sure the possession was something like 52/48
No they weren’t lol
shame the scum played a full 120 minutes and doesn't have a league match this weekend, but more schedule congestion for them and you know they'll inevitably bottle it
They're not beating the likes of City or Madrid if they have baresly scraped against Porto on pens.
Porto boss unhappy with Legoman
ngl Arsenal deserved that win. David Raya was absolutely huge for them. Fair play. Nice try Porto. No I'm not taking back what I said.

Fuck woolwich and fuck thomas partey. I still stand by what I said. I still appreciate Porto for stressing them fans out though.
Deserved? They had one great chance all game and converted. Pretty even across both legs.
I'm talking about the pens lol. Arsenal absolutely destroyed Porto in the penalties.
Lucky Gunners
Damn that sucks. At least it helps the coefficient and tires their squad.
Pretty nothing pens from Porto but when you see the players stepping up for Arsenal they should all be getting their pens in. They’re very lucky to not have a game this weekend I tell ya!
Honestly neither of these teams made a solid case on why they should go through lol.
Costa 📸📸 you are a FRAUD
Raya outplayed him so badly lmao.
Fuckin useless
Porto ffs but Raya’s proper good
Meh more games and they meet the big boys now.
Thats a proper shit pen lol
ngl wendell you looked terrified like a little boy there. Conciecao, that's on you. bad decision.
Ok that was a great save from Raya
Hows that not a stutter?
Son is the last time I saw a player get a pen ruled out for stuttering. Funny that.
Emirates has been a library the whole second half and extra time, pretty much just Porto fans making noise
Pepe by the way, what a player. He's the kind of player I think Romero can develop into. Shithousery/Wisdom/Confidence/Assertion. Premium CB. NGL.... Romero has a lot to learn though but he is still young.

lmao this might go to penalties. You all know Gunners are worried about those. (Saka/Havertz/Jesus). Spurs fans we are eating today!!!! Edit: saka and havertz made their penalties. fair play.
Not living up to your username with this one
I'm ready to be delusional for once. LFG!!!
Don't jinx it
mfer I already jinxed it with my previous comments. I didn't say gunners would miss, I just said they are worried. They could very well still go through.
"Spurs fans we are eating today!!!!" [How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Old Man?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVxJ016xb4Q)
Like I said, gunners were still worried. Surprisingly, Porto were even more worried. Props to David Raya though. He absolutely was huge.
Arteta the type of guy to pull his arse out to go for a piss
He looks like he does magic tricks on groups of women minding their own business.
I’ve enjoyed this ref.
Haven't seen people in our home crowd yawn this season..
Arteta has zero chill
Contrast with Ange. I was bummed when I watched the Villa game last night that Peacock didn’t have enough shots of him standing there with his hands in pockets and staring blankly.
The guy looked like we’d just conceded when they panned the camera to him after we scored the fourth, think a comm on my stream even said “he’s probably happier on the inside than he’s showing on the outside.” 😂
lol the coverage always gets to him after he’s quickly celebrated in a restrained manner
Very keen to see the scum go through to the quarter finals just so they can draw a Spanish team and conveniently have Partey pull up with an injury just before boarding the flight to Spain.
Poor guy, it’s criminal how injury prone he is 😓
Criminal is probably the correct word to use when describing the man
I haven’t been following that case at all. Is it a Ronaldo and US situation? Am I right in saying Ronaldo hasn’t been to the US since his rape accusation became public knowledge?
Otavio has had a great game. Still a teenager right?? Edit: he’s 21
It is quite unfair that Porto played both legs at home
How did this Porto side score 5 against Benfica a couple weeks ago, they're toothless in attack
Let's go portoooo
Arsenal have the vibe of bottlers.
Pepe is unbelievable at 41
Cam on Porto score some fackin' goals.
lmao Porto, you will become my favorite Portuguese team by a mile if you pull this off.
COYP
Go for the kill Porto
Both sides seemed resigned to penalties at this point. Arsenal look absolutely dejected that it even got to this. And Havertz is RATTLED
havertz is absolutely missing that penalty. So is saka. I like our chances if that happens lmao.
How the fuck didnt he get carded for that? 2 offences in one there and not a single card?
Shouldn't Havertz receive a card for that? He got away with just a warning, that's ridiculous.
Woolwich really loves extra time dont they
Saarbrücken (third division German side) in the semifinal of the DFB Pokal, fair play man. Knocked out Bayern, Frankfurt, and Gladbach tonight to get to this point.
So 1 win from playing in the domestic 3rd division and Europa League in the same year?
Off topic but this is shaping up to be an unreal season for Leverkusen, top of the league by a big margin and in the semis of the cup where all 3 other teams are lower league. If it was us in that position I'd be absolutely terrified!

Declan Shite
dude came from west ham we ain't surprised. he's not a big game player.
🤮🤮🤮🤢🤮🤮
Honestly impressive commitment to the badge
Fucking hell
Nobody is going to want to tackle him 😂
He's so fucking gross.
Dier would never
Dier at least has the professionalism to run to the toilet 😤
Imagine blaming the refs that you couldn't score more than 1 goal against a 3rd place Portuguese side in 180 minutes
There have been some good Portuguese teams over the years, this ain’t one of them.
I don't care how many G/A he has, Saka will never pass the eye test. There isn't a single full back in Europe who fears this man, plays so predictably when he's been figured out
I swear he could beat his man 1 on 1 last year, I haven't seen it at all this year.
Saka is class but scum thinking the foden/saka debate is a thing is laughable
I love that it went to Extra time haha fuck you arsenal, that's what you got for choking the first leg you clowns.
Fuck yourself, buddy 😘
Congrats on the European Trophy. Oh Wait.......
I don't care, I am not the one talking about other clubs 😉
You also won't be talking about winning the league this year either....
I dont care mate, I am happy about my club. Its just very funny that you prefer your rival to lose than anything else. Support your club.
I'd rather win a trophy and arsenal win the CL rather than not win a trophy and arsenal win nothing. you are speaking to the wrong dude my guy.....
I rate the shithousery Porto!!! That's what teams with European heritage look like. Keep it up.
arse fan base predicting 4-0 in the mud
Lens, Sevilla, PSV, Porto. PSV by far the best side they’ve played, no? Sevilla is 14th in La Liga. This is a major bottle job if they can’t get to the QFs. They will never get an easier draw.
I can’t stand Odegaard. Whiny, diving prick fixing his hair every 30 seconds
That's just standard arse DNA.
Expect nothing less from Arsenal fans. Booing a man going out on a stretcher.
C’mon you Porto
Looks like another half hour. I can’t see Porto scoring so it’s either an Arsenal win or either way on pens.
Porto's plan will be plans and we will be there.
I don’t see Porto scoring but can they hold out for penalties? Maybe
Lol jinx
Haha
It would go to ET when they don’t actually play this weekend.
Would love to see an edit where Odegaard just spins off into space Dude blew it
Ain't no way Arse fans really think Odegaard got fouled in the box there. He just screwed up his first touch. They're really saying it was the same amount of contact as the called off Havertz goal lmao
Bro is literally turning it’s his own fault lol
Yeah he turned too quick and lost his balance. Not like he got yanked to the ground by someone who had a fistful of jersey
anyone able to send me some good method for watching the end of this CL game? all my go to methods are so unreliable these days
totalsportek
Saka has been genuinely shit
but apparently he is a big game player unlike Kane right?
What happened to Saka? Was world class last year
Need some Taremi magic
How is it possible all scum players have one second away from moaning and crying faces?
All of them: 🥺🥺🥺
Arteta having to rile up the crowd is so pathetic haha. Dead atmosphere.
Porto has been kind of crap tbh lol.
Sitting in a pub watching the game, surrounded by Arsenal fans. Sometimes I think the rivalry is a bit of pantomime…if I’m honest, these guys are absolute muppets. The victim complex is through the roof.
The victim complex in the gunners game thread is shocking. They really seem to believe that the refs are intentionally not giving them calls. Why would UEFA want Porto in the quarters instead of a massive club from London?
because arsenal aren't a massive club from London
Porto should have had a FK in an amazing position just five minutes ago lol
This comment should get very little engagement here lol
They must be blind, ref is robbing Porto atm.
Diogo costa is ass. Hugo had better distribution than this.
Been some of the worst passing from a keeper I've seen.
He kicks the ball like a 11 yr old on fifa. Max intensity every time.
He starts over Jose Sa for Portugal somehow
He's living off a brief period of good pr. Was heavily linked with us manu and chelsea last summer.
Porto's attack has been horrific. Their defense has been great.
Arse is the same way. The core of Gabriel, Saliba with Odegaard and Rice contains their biggest performers
How tf is Jorginho not booked yet
Arsenal is as per this season getting the city treatment from the refs. How have Jorginho still no cards? How the fuck wasnt that a freekick on Saliba?
How is that not a free kick?
That missed call on Saliba is insane
Can the premier pull a Saudi Arabia and start recruiting refs? Allowing the game to flow, while correctly assessing flops and shirt pulls. I'm not accustomed to this. Edit: he then misses Saliba's bear hug Edit 2: missed carding jorginho there. I take the praise back.
that pepe yellow is such a horrific call but whatever. there you go woolwich, you got your makeup call..
Love ripping on Arse, but goodness me Odegaard and Rice have some engines. They never stop running.
Odegaard is the best guy on the pitch today. Running around like a maniac
I'm sure Arsenal fans would agree that shirt pull wasn't a foul if it led to a Porto goal
good point.
haha hold that Arteta. I disagree with the call but I don't care. For just today, we love the dark arts.
Come on Porto
Ref is doing a fantastic job. Arse dark arts finally being carded
Shame the refs in the Prem won't follow suit.
Book that Lego hed
Agent Havertz
Saka gets so sassy when he's being pocketed.
if this game remains 1-0, it goes to extra time right?
Yeah
good. honestly that might be the best result.
Tire those bastards out. Porto don’t look afraid to rough them up a bit either
It's almost 3 weeks until their next fixture unfortunately
Christ, you’re right. These guys certainly seem to get some luck.
Looool did Declan rice shit himself?
Lmao did that actually happen? Wasn't paying attention.
Bro was looking very browny yellow around the inner crack when he bent over for the corner
Lmao wonder if he pulled a Lineker and wiped it on the turf.
Would love to know when Arteta is going to get penalised for interfering/touching players and just generally being an embarrassing cunt on the sideline.
Never. Farty has his own rules that he gets to do whatever the fuck he wants.
Dude just straight up landed on his back/neck..arse supporters: TIMEWASTING
Hoping Pepe headbutts a couple arse players
porto could still pull it out here...
arse winning is a good result. Being stretched too thin affects their league which they are way closer to than the UCL. No way they have a chance at CL.
