Post by: beet1e on April 25, 2006, 04:34:15 PM: 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.

Post by: Furball on April 25, 2006, 04:44:58 PM: 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.

Post by: Furball 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.
Title: And its Arrrrr-se-nal!
Post by: Panzzer on April 26, 2006, 03:57:08 PM: 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. :t

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.

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 :P

But football is football... ;)

You must be thrilled Furball.

Now wait a second here...that sounds like me complaining that the Oklahoma football team has a bunch of Texans on it. I thought you guys were all one big happy family over there, one currency one flag...:huh

Post by: Dowding on May 01, 2006, 01:25:34 PM: One currency, one flag?

If you mean the EU, the UK isn't in the common currency area, and the EU is not like the USA - membership is not an end to sovereignty. Membership can be ended by a member at any point.

I wouldn't mind if they actually included a few Britishers in their squad once in a while, even if they were Welsh.
