Spuds 2-0 up on 20 minutes. They could win this 4-0. Wenger will play the first team at home and spank them 6-0.

Nice avatar new bloke, Joey made a mug of your defence in the space of a square yard, great stuff

Was at the Bridge last night and he had a decent game. Of course, this is Wycombe, but it should do his confidence a load of good - stayed on till th end too.

Both ties have pros and cons Arsenal Pro - losing against them isn't shameful con - they can be quite good Spuds Pro - apart from the one off, our record is second to none against them con - losing to them would be, the end of the world. Offcially. I don't care as long as we win, that good enough?

I normally have a bleak outlook on things, but this story has 'idiotic' written all over it. As Yorkley said - wheres the evidence? Apparantly, sources close to me are saying that after SAF took off Ronaldo yesturday, he stormed down the tunnel, spat on his United shirt, drove to Roman's house and begged till he convinced him to finance a career in the Olympic diving team for him. No, its true. I got it from my source.

Nothing new, but always worth a look, especially at that lanky Welsh git

Whilst the lot of you will be slumming it either in the stands or at home, I have been invited (okay, my father has, but I can tag along ) to sit in the executive area at the Bridge, provided with a free 3 course meal and drinks. Okay, I'd rather be in the MHS, but this isn't a bad second option . Its what I got to do last season against Man City , where I struck up a very good friendship with Elen Our 3 or 4 worded conversation would have no doubt stuck in her mind, I'm sure I'll get a wave from her as I enter. Seeing as its a night game, I doubt the players will come up afterwards like they did last time... but THIS time I plan to corner KK Dixon & get his autograph, I missed out last time Anyway, all of this aside, we better bloody win or the whole thing will be crap. We should win, but you never know with Chelsea, especially at the moment. I'm glad the second leg is at home, that could prove the decisive factor. I think Jose will play Cech, I think he?s pretty much in the first team now, he did well against Liverpool, going in at Riise?s feet was the test, and he did it like he did before. I don?t know the extent of Bridge & Robben?s injuries, but hopefully they?ll be in the team. Incidently, has anyone heard anything on Robben? I?d like to see Sahar partner Drogba (who we?ll probably need) and Mikel to start in midfield again, he did well against Liverpool.

Fair play new bloke, taking the banter in your stride, seen fans on here who can't hack it and throw a wobbly in the corner. It seems neither of us take advantage of the others mistakes.

Ahh, FINALLY

Hmm... There don't appear to be any pictures of Manure sulking, just Arsenal celebrating... I'll keep looking though. Although I hate to rub it in. I reckon JT could be back for Porto. With the medical advances and JT's determination... I know there are some things you can't help - but the things you can will be worked on at the highest level.

I hate that beating the chest celebration he does. But today, I'll let it go

ManU looked very special to me -- 8 players with exceptional pace, and all of their defenders willing to make agressive runs into the box. We really need to learn from their attacking gameplan. I know they lost, but they deserved to win that game. We are back in the race, so let's not slip up now. Ronaldo was tightly marked today, he can be tamed if people don't lay down and wait for him to jam it up their backsides. Rosicky, however, must be banned from shooting.

Why should we? Typical Man Utd fans - pissing and moaning. (Although that isn't aimed at this forums' 'UNITED' - one of few decent ones out there who can stick the banter)

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! My house exploded with cheers - me, my old man and about 15 of our neighbours!!! GET IN!! Man Utd weren't great at all, nothing special... if we can get our defence sorted then we can do this. I can picture Frank and co watching this and going mental when Henry scored - give us the motivation and belief that may have been lost.

Its taken till the 88th minute for Andy Gray to have a proper w**k over Gerrard, I'm shocked.

Exactly Brit, lesson learnt hopefully. Although Jose has made some dodgy decisions, if the board blame him not not winning the league (FFS! Wenger has won it in 2 seasons, if his future in doubt?!) then they know sweet f**k all about football. On the plus side, Cech has looked comfortable and pretty confident. Couldn't really do anything about either of them. Why does Ballack think he can have a minute to line up his shot in the Prem? Has he never watched or played in it before this game? Liverpool could have had 5 or 6, 2 is a more respectable scoreline at least. Although its not over still could be that total.

A season without the title, not the end of the world, we've been without it for much longer than before. Rather Man Utd won it than Liverpool.

Fantastic header out by Essien

How is that a freekick?

Everywhere but on target today. Not our day.

We said it at the same time, look at the clock

Train wreck.

Drogba's performance isn't quite as good as his one here last season Sheva's on, Mikel's off. WHY?! Why not Ballack?! Or anyone else 'cept Drogba, Cech or Essien?! Just over 15 minutes left. Shocking.
