You called?

Also Man U would beat Barca lol. Both home and away.

If Arsenal get past Liverpool then we will lose to Chelsea if they get through. No one wins at the Emirates, not even Arsenal, and no away team wins at Stamford.

Meh Clichy is overrated. Not as good as Evra really in all departments especially the attacking sense, and recently he has been making stupid mistakes, particularly the Birmingham match. That's not to say he's a bad player, he's only second to Evra in the PL and has great potential.

My personal opinion is that everyone in England seems to have a inferiority-complex when it comes to players in La Liga. Because player x scores 20 goals in La Liga he's better than player x doing the same in the PL. Everyone loves to piss themselves over Messi but he hasn't done nearly as much as Ronaldo. Imagine the hype if Messi got to 40 goals, we would be hearing that he surpassed Maradona.

Barcelona are more scared of Utd than vice versa. Looking at the Utd team, there are no weak links, the closest you can say is Brown and Neville may even be back by then. Having said that, Barca are very dodgy. There are a few players who haven't performed but everyone talks about due to their reputation e.g. Henry, Zambrotta, Deco, Ronaldinho. Hence over a league season they are so far 3rd.

I think that they would struggle to handle our frontline because in Spain there are few players who are as physically direct as Roo, Ron and Tevez.

I'm not going to say that Utd will spank Barca because with Eto'o, Henry, Messi, Xavi, Ronaldinho and Iniesta in a team, there is a chance that you could get a flogging. As such if the match-up happens, the decider would probably be our defence, the way Ferdinand has been playing over the last two seasons, I am confident that we are the favourites. And it pains me to think that if Ferdinand was fit against Milan we would have won the tie and probably the cup...
 
Barcelona are in a bit of a crisis, that's the reason I don't see a chance at all how Barcelona are even going to win at home.. that is if they both qualify.

And true as the fact winning at Stamford Bridge will be hard for most teams. How many unbeaten games is it now at the Bridge? 80ish?
 
United V Middlesborough soon!

How are Barcalona in a crisis? Apart from their league form, I don't see much else.

Wait, is Messi still injured?
 
Ronaldinho is out for the season too, although he hasn't done much. Henry is "struggling" on the left wing in his place.
 
That's us in the finals then. ^_^

Ronaldo scored for United in the 9th/10th minute, and Middlesborough pulled a goal back towards the end of the first half.

Giggs has to come off soon, his pace is letting him down, and we need some more strengh in the middle, so bring on Anderson and play 4-3-3 please!

I'm a really big fan of FC Chelsea so I hope they'll win the Premier League, and if lucky also beat "Liverpool" in the half final and "Man.United" in the final of the European Chamiponship ;D ...
 
If Arsenal beat us (which is possible, considering Ferdinand and Vidic aren't playing), then it will be in Chelsea's hands as they can then take us to Stamford Bridge and get 3 points out of us there.

However, I'm an Arsenal fan just for their match with Liverpool today.
 
Chelsea and Manchester - Top 2 at the Uefa Champions league and top 2 contenders for the premiere league title, amazing games today for the Champions League.
 
Shit...Liverpool won.

It's a shame because Liverpool played quite shit, Torres and Gerrard did nothing except for their goals and Walcott's run was amazing it deserved to win that match.

I would be really pissed off if was a Arse fan, seeing how the Liverpool penalty was EXACTLY 100% the same as the one that wasn't given lol. Although maybe that's karma from the times when Pires, Vieira, Ashley Cole and co were diving like (BAN ME PLEASE)s.It's amazing though, how fucking lucky Liverpool get in Europe. Penalties, dodgy red cards, fantom goals you name it.

I must say that Clive Tydsley or whoever was commentating on ITV is a real idiot. He said that Babel's goal made the penalty less important but why the fuck would Arsenal leave 2 men in their half if they already were winning.

On the Utd front, there's good news. Rio's injury was minor, everyone talks about Ronaldo but Utd defence - Ferdinand = dodgy as fuck.

Pretty rich coming from a Man U fan lol.

cough*waynerooneydivingtoendour49matchunbeatenrun*cough
cough*ronaldo*cough

Arsenal divers don't get away with anything anyway. Eboue gets carded everytime, Vieira got the same. Ashley Cole is just a (BAN ME PLEASE). Only time Arsenal got away with diving is Pires vs Portsmouth. Hleb gets booked for being tackled, let alone diving ._.

Walcott's run deserved to win any game. Adebayor shouldn't have missed that golden chance he had. Senderos should try and learn how to defend instead of giving people free headers. Most of all, referees should give Arsenal penelties when they deserve them.
 
That wasn't Walcott that was fucking Maradona. It was amazing.

And near the start of the game Senderos was the furthest player up front, and he had to run like a Kenyan to get back and defend. The man is clueless.
 
Just the obligatory post.

WE'RE GOING UP, WE'RE GOING UP
BACK TO THE CONFERENCE WE GO
KTFC 07/08

Uhh...Fabregas got away with diving
And cheating once more

In a way it's Wenger's fault. Should've played Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Clichy at the back, Walcott on the right. Senderos was crap beyond belief, so easy to shake him off
 
Lol he didn't get a free kick for that anyway. Could be a dive could just be him making a weird mistake, maybe.

I don't think Eboue should even have played. I don't rate him at all, Walcott attacks better and i'd say even Senderos 'defends' better than him. We need to bring in some quality at the back though. Sagna/Gallas/Toure/Clichy is fine when they are all there, but if even one is injured then there is no quality to replace them.
 
Arsenal deserved to win that game. They outplayed Liverpool for much of the game.
Walcott's run deserved to win the game as has been said, damn that kids got pace, improved his strength as well. Babel's penalty, was much softer then Hleb's last week.

The reason eboue starts on the right is because rosicky is injured. Walcott doesn't start as Wenger sees him as an impact player. Eboue is a good player but he can't finish for beans.

Adebayor's finishing in front of goal, and Arsenal's in general, is rather inconsistent and that's what holds them back.

I disagree, it was equal for the majority, and I felt we did deserve the win in the end. Best game I've seen since 2006. Walcott made the game with that run. I got 4 texts from my Arsenal friends when that went in, made my night. Really.

Also Kuyt's workrate is sensational.
