I agree it wasn't the most entertaining game to watch but you gotta say chelsea was effective and I'm sure they will be content with the 0-0. This. I'm sure they knew exactly what they were doing by playing a largely defensve game. Any of us could look at how barca has performed at home this far and realize that Chelsea was forced to play this way. I have a feeling we will see a completely differnt Chelsea on their home turf. | ||

Football without an incentive to win is incredibly boring. Hiddink did totally the right move by defending heavily because now he's in a good position to win the tie, but I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life.... imagine if you'd paid for a ticket. | ||

the liverpool vs chelsea 4-4, liverpool vs milan 3-3, 4-2 game between barca and chelsea are the exceptions, the rule is that defending wins because you don't have to win games. barcelona was a lot better, and they could have gotten a penalty, as well as a red card for ballack, so you can definitely argue that they were unlucky too.. but still, when is the last time you saw barcelona play a game without greating a single major goalscoring opportunity for like 80 minutes? either way though.. just like how the second half of football games tends to be the most entertaining because then one of the teams is forced to attack, in champions league, the second leg tends to be the most entertaining for the exact same reason. it's not like barcelona was all out attacking this game either, they were mostly just passing the ball and attempting to create something with few players - so they would remain in defensive stability. next week will be a lot more fun, had this round ended 1-0 for chelsea or 1-1 it would look a worse.  | ||

football at its finest ladies and gentlemen now united better destroy the gooners and make up for the travesty of a win on the weekend, such bullshit. the old fa cup rules with one game home/away, one replay home/away, then the replays at a neutral stadium were the best cup rules imo it's infeasible anymore with the schedules though | ||

The GUNNERS are going to win this year's Champions League. You wait and see!!! I have tremendous faith and belief in them. Arsenal is the one team left that i think no one can really figure out how to play them. They've peaked at the right time while United is all out of wack. I'm starting to see some consistency with Arsenal these days too that just makes me all wet and tingly. Some facts about today's game, they will create numerous chances like they always do, difference is, these days they manage to get goals along the way and they will today. I believe only Barca can dominate and beat Arsenal cuz they both play attacking football and well Barca's attack is the best i've ever seen, also Arsenal's defence isn't good enuff to cope with Barca's Offense while Barca's Defense can do enough to win against Arsenal's Attack. So with last nights 0-0 draw between chelsea and Barca, it seems Chelsea is in the drivers seat right now, and i would rather Arsenal face chelsea in final than Barca so..and yes i'm aware Chelsea beat Arsenal in the FA cup recently..but come on...it was another gay win by the wrong team, also the arsenal big guns didn't play. All in all, after yesterday's result, things are starting to look mighty good for my Gunners. Thats right, i'm so confident, i'm looking past United to Chelsea!! Prediction for today's Arsenal-Man U game, 1-1, 2-1 or dare i dream 3-1 Gunners, with Gunners wrapping it up back at the emirates next week. | ||

as for tonight's matchup...sheesh...arsenal? yeah they're a pretty good team but i don't think they have what it takes to beat united...i guess at worst united might be held to a scoreless draw, but i seriously doubt that's going to happen so keep on dreaming horsementality  united 2-0 | ||
