I saw part of the second half. I couldn't believe the "marking tactics" deployed by VillaReal. Overall impression was that Arsenal didn't have enough men forward when on the offensive, and kept running into a formidable VR defence.

Arsenal didnt need to go for it as they had the 1-0 lead from the first leg, Villarreal did. Arsenal set out with 1 up front and a 5 man midfield. I thought their defence was far from formiddable, was just that Arsenal never really got into gear, nor did they need to attack - as you say they were not getting careless and throwing players forward leaving ourselves vunerable for the counter attack.

was far from a great performance from Arsenal but they did the job. thats 10 games in a row, in the Champions League, without conceding a goal.

So there will definitely be a French side in the final?

Soccer is an ok sport to play, but I still don't know how you can watch it.

I thought football season ended in February after the Steelers were declared "World Champs." Wierd.

Too bad Arsenal will lose the final to FC Barcelona...

Furball · « **Reply #9 on:** April 26, 2006, 03:49:43 PM »

yeah... i never expected to win the thing. we have done brilliantly getting to the final with such a young team.

besides, maybe... just maybe... we will win it.

The first team ever from London to make it to the final (European Cup, Champions League). Or something...

Still, Arsenal isn't a match for this season's Barcelona. But then again, Liverpool won last year, so I guess everything's possible.

Even a Finnish team making it into the European cup final one year?

....................nah.

Besides, Arsenal have already outplayed Juventus and Real Madrid this season, so it is not like we are out of our depth. I still dont think we will win it, but on our day we are a match for anybody.

Get real.

With a motivated Ronaldinho, Messi back, and Eto'o doing what he always does, it'll be a cold day in hell before Arsenal wins the Champions League

But football is football...

They are no better than Henry, Bergkamp, Reyes, Pires, Ljungberg, Fabregas, Van Persie....
