Hell yes.

That was the most entertaining 0-0 draw I've ever seen. Even from Row Y in the North Bank the atmosphere was incredible, especially when we actually started to realise that we were actually going to make a fight of it rather than sitting on our lead. A goal would've been nice, but seeing Roberto Carlos hop around like a frog was a fair enough substitute.

Liverpool's defeat came as quite a shock, but quite frankly I didn't fancy playing them in the later rounds anyway. It would've been nice to see them outdo Chelsea again, though.

Raul Bravo trying to pick up one of the Arsenal players after he fouled him. 10/10 for humour too!

1-1 was a fair result in that game, just like 2-1 to Barcelona was fair for the first game.

No, it wasn't. There was two penalties for Barcelona in the first match, and in the second one Terry was offside when he "suffered" the penalty. The fair result would be 4-1 and 1-0 (at least).

And Real Madrid is such a bad team. It's laughable. Zidane should retire, Beckham can't pass one single ball, Ronaldo needs a diet, and Lopez Caro (or something like that) isn't a good coach. Robinho and Cicinho on the bench (and Cassano as well), when Madrid needed to score...

Whoa, Bumpy McBump. Arsenal 1-0 up against Juve at half time.

No, it wasn't. There was two penalties for Barcelona in the first match, and in the second one Terry was offside when he "suffered" the penalty. The fair result would be 4-1 and 1-0 (at least).

I'm not talking about incidents. I'm talking about the overall balance of play. Barca played better than Chelsea in London, and they both played poorly by their own standards in the Nou Camp.

Beckham can't pass one single ball

I really don't like Beckham, and as an England fan I'd like to see him dropped in favour of Michael Carrick and see Steven Gerrard out on the right, but that's just plain wrong. The only thing he can do right is make superb passes. (he's overrated at free kicks. Juninho of Lyon is much better)

EDIT: Whoa this commentator in Arsenal v Juve is so biased. "OH MY GOD WHAT A TACKLE FROM TOURE!!!!! FABREGAS IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER!!!!!!" casually ignoring some of their woeful passing. :laugh: Not saying their passing in general has been woeful, but eh, you get what I mean.

Whoa, they scored as I was typing this. 2-0. That's a good lead for going into the Delle Alpi. If they do what Liverpool did there in this round last time, just chase them down and press them, not allowing them room to play, (it's a shame they don't have Xabi Alonso but I guess Fabregas will do ) then they're through. No Camoranesi and no Vieira. This is looking good for the Gunners.

EDIT2: Camoranesi and Zebina sent off. Arsenal have Juve on the ropes. They HAVE to push for a third. If they get it, they're as good as through.

EDIT3: Match over. A very well-deserved win for the Gunners. I have to wonder if they'll regret not getting a third though.

Juninho of Lyon is much better

His absence makes me nervous about the 1/4 final against AC Milan.

[Old Manus]

Arsenal played like the old team today

[Endless]

Lyon - Milan : 0 - 0 so far (70 mins in the game). Go Lyon!

Edit: 0 - 0, but damn, Tiago will bo out next match :/

Oh, looks like I haven't posted here yet...

Yay and so forth.

[Psychotic]

24 hours early there, Cz.

Unlucky Lyon, I'd much rather see them progress than AC Milan. As for Villarreal v Inter, I'm indifferent on both teams, but I suppose Villarreal do have that underdog element.

[Cz]

24 hours early there, Cz.

I bloody well hope so.

I'd have loved for Lyon to get through, because Sylvain Wiltord is a lovely boy, and AC are big meanies who are more than capable of kicking our arse later on. The semi shouldn't be too much trouble if we keep up our current form, but a final against AC or Barca?

[black orb]

>>> I cant believe Villarreal make it to the semifinals, their match vs Inter was great too..

My dream final would be two Spanish teams Barca vs Villarreal, that would be awesome..

>>> Milan vs Lyon: 3-1

Greatness!


Milan against Arsenal in the final and Milan to win for other reasons.
