[tiagosilva29]

We had luck/misfortune with Barcelona. ~_~

[Shibby]

Aresnal looked pretty good

i'd say juve didn't even look like they wanted to play footy.

Any prem team could of beaten Juve today, it was just shocking they didn't want to play much

[Crazysah]

Arsenal played awsome! We ruled the night! Fabregas in the best young and upcoming talent any team have. Awsome!

[Martyn]

Arsenal played really well, they are sure trying to copy Liverpool's Road To Istanbul from last year...

[virgo89]

how the h*** did Lyon make it past real marid and manchester. i've noticed real madrid gets partnered up with with good teams in the knock-out stage.

anyway, anyone want to post their Fantasy Football teams?

Heres Mine:

[bigbluepride35]

Well after giving fans another round of cardiac arrests Milan made it through. A great finish! Lyon put up a great fight and were a worthy opponent. FORZA MILAN!!!

[Crazysah]

DAMN unlucky Lyon! Thats all I can say!

[tiagosilva29]

Brilliant game that was, watched it all on tv and pS-, that team is unnaturally good :huh:

BRING ON VILLARREAL

[the godfather]

just curious, is it possible to limit the poll to the last four remaining?

[Krpano]

Milan x Barcelona (ill not say the result because some ppl might watch the game later)

What a nice game, high class match.....still Barcelona is actually the best team this season and i hope they win the CL, they deserve.

Anyway the return match will be awesome.

:D

[Martyn]

Ronaldinho is a joy to watch. I really hope Barca win the Champions League this season.

[PaulCabby]

1-0 To the Arsenal :D

Villareal are the biggest divers/foulers I've ever seen. One point of their players tried to push Henry, the Villareal player fell down clutching his hamstring for no reason at all. :/

[PaulCabby]

PARIS HERE WE ****ING COME

COME ON YOU GUNNEEERRRRSSSSS

[Mike]

1-0 To the Arsenal :D

yea coz none of the arsenal players have dived :rolleyes:

[Brodel]

yea coz none of the arsenal players have dived :rolleyes:

oh come on, were you watching the match, did you see the first leg?

south american players and a lot of those around the Mediterranean always fall all over the place, it's a disgrace. I don't know why the refs don't do more about it. The Villarreal captain was all over Ljungberg when Arsenal had corners and then collapsed at the slightest touch anywhere in the Arsenal half.... I don't think a single Arsenal player was booked against 5 Villarreal players.

I'm not an Arsenal fan btw, I support Fulham, just glad to see an English team in the final again.

[mihir]

I'm sorry, but even though Villareal outperformed Arsenal tonight, Arsenal definatley deserve to be the ones going through to the final, Villareal are s$^*. Also that referee was a crook, look at when the fool elbowed Ljungberg in the chest, that didn't even warrant a foul, but what Cliche did warranted a penalty. That team deserves nothing due to the fact they are nothing more than a group of dirty players who play boring football and go through on the away goal rule. Despite getting to the semi-final, they deserve no credit for anything.

[the godfather]

they deserve the semi-final place they reached. how many ****ing teams are there in the world that their players dive or are a bit rough, not one team playing football is "innocent" No one gave Virrareal nothing, but with a new coach, they reached the semi finals in their FIRST Champions League appearance, i am an Arsenal fan mind you, but a bow to Villareal, good on them for getting so far.

[Sn00pY]

Barcalona OR AC Milan - whoever wins (Barca i would say) will both dump all over Arsenal.

Arsenal are horrible. They were lucky last night - Villareal completely outplayed them. Riquleme is a football genius, alas they did not make it though.

Arsenal will get torn apart by either team in the final, and I will be extremly shocked if Arsenal win it... I can't see it... They play boring football and only ever excite against teams like Everton or Bolton... crap teams.

[mihir]

arsenal are the second most exciting team in europe after barcelona, Riquleme is not a football genius and arsenal were lucky last night yes, and they probably will lose to barcelona in the final, but they have had an excellent campaign, don't forget they've set a new defensive record in the champion league. they definatley deserve to be in the final, if they don't no one does (apart from barcelona).

I gotta admit, their recent games against Real Madrid almost had me asleep.

Arsenal were not lucky, they desrved their place.

Leg 1 Henry had a goal chalked off which was not off-side, however Villareal should have been given a penalty.

Arsenal had to put up with two legs of Villareal diving, making out they were injured so Arsenal kicked out the ball, everytime we had a corner, Ljunberg and Henry were subject to having their shirts ripped off their back in the penalty area.

To top it all off, Villareal get a penalty which was no more than a dive, the guy is 6 inches taller than Gael Clichy, he backed into Clichy.

Justice was done, Arsenal hit final.

AC Milan will win tonight (overall) and it will be England v's Italy in Paris and hopefully the European Cup for Arsenal in their last season at Highbury.

[Powa]

What the hell?!?!?!

Arsenal in the final? Are you having a laugh? Haha.

Don't worry, even Henry can't stop the freight train that is Barcelona.
