:laugh3:what a joke!

 

I hope he gets fired, and apparently, the Arsenal players AND Arsene swarmed the ref in the tunnel.

bad call against arsenal, but barca was dominating the whole game. 20 shots on/off target to none from arsenal. barca definitely deserving the win.

The ref no doubt messed with Arsenal, but Barça deserved to win nonethless.

 

I, personally, don't have any problem with someone screwing with Arsenal (:rolleyes:), but he screwed with the game. It could've been much better.

Well Arsenal are out. What about Tottenham tommorow?

 

It was a fab performance by them at the San Siro but I just feel there's a severe danger of it going tits up for Tottenham tommorow.

 

Milan to win 2-0.

Not gonna believe in Spurs either.

I'm just hoping for a ManUtd/ Real vs. Barcelona final so ManUtd/Real can cause trouble .

I feel a bit bad for Arsenal but thought this would be the result.

 

I want Milan to go out tomorrow night, Bale's back isn't he?, come on Tottenham.

 

My prediction is 2-1 to Tottenham.

It won't be easy, but I truly believe Tottenham will manage to get past Milan. A scoreless tie is good enough. Can they go further than that? Depends on who they might play next.

At home, with a healthy Bale? I'll take Spurs, thanks.

Arsenal could've gotten that goal to tie up the game by the way :P

That dodgy red card cost them the game :(

 

Although they only need one goal to win on away goals

 

Cost them the game? Van Persie was on the field for what? 60 minutes? And during that time, how many scoring opportunities did Arsenal have? None. No good ones at least. Did you really expect Van Persie to miraculously break through Barca's superb defense at some point in the final minutes?

 

SO disgusted by that ref in the Arsenal - Barcelona game.

And Alves deserved a red card for choking Robin Van Persie but off course whats more important is RvP kicked the ball exactly 1 second after the whistle was blown WITH the loud fans screaming.

 

Though Arsenal didn't play well either but we could've succeeded if van persie was there.

 

 

And what about this? Obvious foul inside the box. Should have been a PK or at least a free kick from right outside the box (which is what I would have called).

Exactly. Barcelona certainly deserved the win. They clearly outplayed Arsenal (70-30 possession was it?). Arsenal had no scoring opportunities. They got extremely lucky with that fluke header from Busquets. Other than that, Barcelona was making them look like school children.

No way. Bale is healthy, AC Milan is missing Gattuso, Tottenham is undefeated at home in the Champions League this year, and they've scored at least 3 goals in every home match. I'm calling Spurs 3-1 AC Milan.

So who else thinks Shakhtar Donetsk is the real deal? Good win in Rome, very convincing win in Donetsk. I'm not sure who they're playing next, but they'll certainly bring some great matches. I'm very excited to see them play.

I think they could make for a great game in the next round, but I don't think they'll get any farther. I had very low expectations of Roma, and they played much of the match with 10 men. Maybe its because I saw the Barca-Arsenal match just before it, but while Donetsk stood out, neither felt like a semi-final team from what I saw.

Ahh I only watched the highlights of that match. I did notice the red card but assumed it was later in the game. They have a lot of offensive firepower it seems, and I'll probably be rooting for them since they're not from one of the big club football countries (Spain, England, Italy).

But more importantly.

Yeah that was a great win by Shakhtar. Sure it raised eyebrows. This team aren't to be taken lightly!

 

 

Tottenham tonight - their CL matches at White Hart Lane have been impressive so far but it'd be wrong of them to sit on the 1-0 win from the first leg. It'd be foolish to write Milan off. It could be brilliant or go tits up for Tottenham. I get the impression though that people are underestimating Milan here.

Come on Milan.

HT Tottenham 0 - 0 Milan

 

Milan is playing well, much better than Tottenham. The Spurs were luck to get to half-time with a goaless score.

Have to say even in a different club, Robinho tonight has been as big a waste of space as he was at Man City. A liability even.

 

Been disappointed with Pato. Great talent but hasn't shown it this match or throughout most the Champions League.

Spurs got lucky! I think they'll play better once they have Bale back playing full matches. Penaar was awful on that left side.

All of this.

 

 

I dislike the fact that Tottenham think they have made it. Not that I don't mind them taunting Arsenal as that is fair enough, but just the way they have behaved this season, particularly with the Olympic Stadium. I hope they come crashing down soon.

Oh yeah! What a football match!

 

C'MON YOU SPURS!!

Not a convincing advance for Spurs, but I'd say Milan's lackluster attacking was the headline. They had more than enough chances, but I'm not convinced they would of scored if they played an extra 45.
