No, it's not illegal. It's just a stupid overreaction. Unless beating Spurs in the Carling Cup is the limit of Arsenal's ambitions these days. Oh, and what, it's illegal to mock gunners, now? Give it a break, chum.

Regarding the draw, Chelsea certainly got the toughest of the three English teams remaining. Roma shouldn't present too much of a problem for United, after all, Middlesbrough knocked them out of the UEFA Cup last season. Still, United's European record hasn't been impressive for the last couple of seasons, (worst of all the English teams. Except Everton, if you want to count them!) so you never know.

If PSV play against us like they did in the group stages, then we'll go through. I saw the away game (it was a 0-0 draw; we won at Anfield 2-0) and a midfield of Aurelio, Zenden, Sissoko and Pennant was more than a match for PSV. Mind you, I expect them to play a lot better than they did in the group stages, and I certainly don't think it's an easy game: The Arsenal fans took that approach and now look at them. It'll be tricky, and we can do it, but whether we will do it remains to be seen.

Supposing we do it, that'll lead to a dream semi-final no matter who it's against. Chelsea are, well, Chelsea, and there are several players who have represented both Liverpool and Valencia (Off the top of my head, Aurelio, Sissoko and Morientes) as well as a certain Mr. Benitez.

And I may be looking just a bit too far forward (I can have my dreams) but supposing we get to the final, our opponents would be either Roma, AC Milan, Bayern or Man United. I checked, and every single one of these teams' home kits are red/maroon, and their away kits are all-white. In each of the five times we have won the European Cup, it has been against a team in all-white. I don't know how it's decided who gets to wear their home kit though.

Edit: Scratch that, just found out we'd be the 'away' team in the final, so unless Milan volunteer to wear their white kit (until meeting us, they'd won 6 finals in white and lost 2 in red/black) it looks like we would be in white and green. Brings back horrible memories of the '96 FA Cup final against United. I don't think I could stand to lose to them in the CL final.
