I can see where Donna is coming from, any sort of challenge in the box is dangerous, and if two players go up together anywhere on the pitch and one goes down a free-kick is quite often given. No doubt the fellow made a meal of it but hey whaddyagonnado. Moot point now anyway.

You're trying too hard. They both jumped for the ball: Arsenal's man mistimed his jump and went into Villareal's man instead. That's a pen.the B said:
To be honest - and as much as I don't give two shits for Arsenal - that was never a penalty though. Bit of a clumsy challenge towards the ball to be fair, but he hardly ploughed through the man or upended his legs, more a crappy jump/shoulder charge. Indeed, at least he went for the ball - The Villareal guy was more looking at the possibility of gaining a penalty (check out that diving technique) than focusing on the ball.
Compared to some of the cynical holds and blocks the Villereal players managed in their own box, it's an inconsistent miracle that that particular incident gained a penalty. There were some far more blatant and deserving infringements the ref could have picked on throughout the game.
Some great camerawork on the penalty too. The close ups on Riquelme immediately prior to taking the penalty were priceless - Lehman's cockiness seemed to get to him.

Absolutely right. I cannot believe all this arsenal were shit stuff. They let no goals in and advanced to the final. Fucking hell, what a shit shit team they must be.
They totally deserve to be in the final, and last night was a job well done. Their 'preparation' was very different to villareal's for this tie.
Now then, if we can just win this final, thats one and a half grand coming my way...!
Incidentally the God of footballing justice was not on holiday when lehman saved that penalty. Not only for that, but for also keeping such an ugly team out of the final.

i think it's a south american thing. I remember Johnny Vaughan during the last world cup saying Argentina looked like Jesus and the rest of the disciples.

how come no one has commented on how its ok for barcelona to draw 0 - 0 and take a 1 - 0 lead to get in to the champions league final. you didnt see them winging the ball around trying to play attractive football did you. too much to lose etc. seems barcelona managed to get through to the final in pretty much the same way that arsenal did.

Good luck Arsenal, always good to see English teams do well
English? Fuck off.
Busterbubble said:
Well what kind of fucking team would you call it then?
It's an english team in the english premier league with english fans.
In case you'd never given it a thought, managers and players come and go. The club and its fans are forever.
It's 100% english.
iROBOT said:Bump....well people??
Saw the game last night and if Barca play like that then The Arsenal have a chance.
They wont...I know this.
Look, get out of this negative mindset. We weren't gonna beat real, we weren't gonna beat juventus, and now we not gonna beat barcelona.
Well, i put my money where my mouth is during the real tie, and my 100 quid is looking to pay me 1500 if we win...
Sometimes i cannot believe how much english fans talk themselves down over supposedly more illustrious opposition.
Arsenal will beat barcelona, and quite likely will make it 11 clean sheets on the trot. We have a magical defence, and a brilliant attack.
It's why we're in the final, no...

Of course they are - ask Chelski. The club doesn't give a toss about the fans except that they provide revenue - don't kid yourself otherwise.
and I's say more French since you ask . . .

oh, good argument - let's just assume I haven't got a clue.
Don't give me all that great club/history crap either - it means nothing anymore - especially since your club (like many others) was overrun with foreign talent.
and no, I'm not comparing Arsenal to Chelsea.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand how you can hero worship a company that actually doesn't care about you at all.
