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.

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. :/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
