Yeah i agree.

In champions league semi final 2nd legs ALWAYS Make sure you score a free kick wonder goal and a goal out of nowhere from a defensive error.

Very proud of the performance and also proud to be a united fan.

The third goal was the best of the bunch, great team goal.

Feel terrible for fletcher, lets win in Rome for him.

Diddums.

Fantastic performance by United. Great performance. Great strike by Ronaldo, and great third goal.

Absolutely gutted for Fletcher, he's been fantastic this season, and for the past few in Europe. It's stupid that the decision cannot be appealed.



We're going to It-a-ly, que sera sera.

I suppose we could always lose in it and then get relegated a couple of divisions.

TBF our midfield has raped theirs over the two legs. Not allowed them into the game at all, I felt a bit sorry for Gibbs, because there were a lot more senior players who were invisible. England's bestest ever winger did really well in both legs as well.






Do you reckon they'll be watering the pitch before the game with the prospect of penalties? It'd be a great shame to see Mr Chelsea slip again.

£65 cheapest ticket.

Great pricing.

Being drawn against the weakest side and being gifted the opener to effectively kill off the tie, how did you manage to pull these impressive feats off?

Park's opener was very well taken actually so I wouldn't call it, or the 7th minute wonder strike, gifts.

Call Arsenal the weakest side all you want. They were quarter finalists in the Champions league and were pushed aside with relative ease. United only scored three because the team didn't want to exert themselves too much.

FFS 98 times out of 100 the defender would have kept his feet and cleared the ball easily. The cross wasn't worthy of a goal, it came about solely because Gibbs was thinking of the Bambi on Ice show Arsene took him to last weekend.

The same with Ronaldo's free kick. It was a beautifully stuck free kick and a great goal from Ronaldo's perspective, but from a 'keeping point of view Almunia should have pushed it round for a corner without much fuss.

Given that you've been pretty much gifted two goals in the first 11th minutes, it's nonsense to suggest that United were playing the away leg tactically perfect. In the opening minutes Arsenal were by far the better side and were looking good. The goals just ended the game as a contest.



I only need to say it once. I know it, you know it and practically everyone on this board knows it.



No, they were semi finalists in the CL.

I agree that they were pushed aside with ease. As I said earlier, further proof that Wenger wasn't all he was cracked up to be on here and throughout the country.



And you only scored 1 in the first leg to make the 2nd leg more interesting, I guess?

Anybody seen the Fabregas interview......what a little spitting sh*thouse.

Ticket criteria is all domestic cup games and applied for all european away games.

Just watched the penalty incident.

TBH I'm 50/50 on whether it was a pen or not. He made contact with the ball, but the contact was only slight and in some ways more by luck than judgement. Part of the reason why I'd say it was a penalty was because of the element of [iman and ball[/i. Fletcher didn't clear the ball with his contact, he merely diverted it slightly. And seeing as he then brought down Fabregas there was a very good reason to give the pen. If he hadn't brought down Fabregas then all it would have taken was a slight readjustment from Fabregas and he'd have been smashing the ball in the net.

What I do disagree with though is the red card. The red card was brought in in those situations to stop players cynically fouling when an opponent was in with a goal scoring challenge. Fletcher's wasn't a cynical challenge, it was a genuine attempt to make a tackle. Giving the pen and a yellow would have been ample punishment. Giving a red for that is ridiculous.

I seriously hope this is a wind up, you argue against your own point in this statemnet alone.

thought all three utd goals were terrific! ARSEnal looked toothless in attack once more i.m.o the red card was one of the worst decisions ever seen in in a european game

i still think it will be a repeat of last years final.


good luck chelsea

Fletcher flung his leg into the challenge. The ball hit his studs and diverted the bouncing ball a couple of feet. At the same time as he was making contact with the ball his other leg tripped up Fabregas.

Just because Fletcher made a slight contact with the ball it doesn't negate the fact that Fabregas was tripped up by Fletcher.

There's also the fact that Fletcher grabbed hold of Fabregas's shoulder to get into position to make the challenge.

If Fletcher had cleared the ball with his tackle then IMO it would have been play on. But instead of clearing the ball it was just nudged slightly. If Fabregas hadn't been brought down then he'd have been left 1-on-1 with the keeper 16 yards out. He'd have buried it. But he was denied that by Fletcher tripping him up.

Fantastic performance from the Reds, the third goal was pure class. Fancy Ronaldo not showing up again in a big game eh



Gutted for Fletch, arguably the best player over the two legs.

Don't really care who we get in the final although if I had to choose I would plump for Barca.

You're a sick man, I like it

It's them there Cockerneys with their plastic flags and plastic fans, I wish them nothing but heartbreak.



Nice to see Arsenal fans do the Wigan walk after 60 mins, that's what you can't give 'em for free, loyalty.

don't think there are any copyright issues with this

Is it

A) Stirlingshire Saint
B) Enfield Exile
C) Lenny the Lioner

Some United fans couldn't get in with tickets, maybe we should ask other's how it's done(reference to Athens not Hillsborough).

Spot on. I wonder if they took their flags with them.
