But is his FIFA 12 rating higher?
Well played Arsenal. I said at the start of the night I would be happy with a win but what a win it was. So close. Everybody played amazingly well. The back 4 were outstanding, so solid and Szczesny made some very good calls coming to collect and stop Milan.
I'm upset Arsenal are out after having played so fucking well. No one gave Arsenal a chance and fuck, it's just a sad way the end the CL.
At least we can hold our heads high and say we battered Milan at home on the way out.

R. Madrid vs Inter Final.
Oh you.
They're bad when you force them to dictate the play. So, bad against small teams or if you score first!
Chelsea scored first, and tried to score more for some reason.

Yeah it is tomorrow, and I dont think Leverkusen will get beaten by a lot. Most the team will be bench and youngsters, still I expect a win or at worst a draw.
Your last paragraph, what do you think happened at the San Siro? We haven't played as shit as that since Old Trafford in August.
Napoli has 10 draws and 5 losses in 26 matches, it's nowhere near Barca's or RM's stats this season.
They are where they are thanks to City and Chelsea being utter shit in CL.
Messi is expected to play, right? If not I'm fucked in the UCL fantasy team.
Napoli are not serious CL contenders. They'd be destroyed by Real or Barca. Only team beating Real is Barca. Vice versa.
It's made by people who know nothing.

Nah it's because everyone in Italy knows how to play against them. They're still class.

it's weird how similar both legs were. you guys had the completely wrong mentality in the first leg, and vice versa in london. i guess we just took advantage of it more when we had the chance. also we had prince at san siro.
i have to say though, arsenal is my favorite english team and this is a pretty good result because milan goes through and arsenal gets a nice morale boost. only problem is the injuries.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
Go Milan!
Yeah he's a top notch pundit who actually has interesting points of view but as a commentator he was way to biased. Oooooohhhhhhh woooahhhhh phil you have a tight arse kind of reaction to arses goals don't help his case.
Impartiality is key whilst pointing out and giving decisive opinions during a match is more what he should be doing, but it's his first season doing it so we'll wait and see how he goes about it.

Excellent performance by Arsenal, I quit the chelsea FA cup replay to watch this and was not dissapointed, Chamberlain is gonna be immense in the future I wish Chelsea would give some of our younger players the same opportunity.
I agree really, both sides had shocking away legs. If you guys can avoid Barca and Real till the final...who knows.

I don't ask to dominate Arsenal in their stadium. I just ask to try and do something in the first half, and don't be raped by every single player. That's it.
I'll take the result as well, but I'm worried for the next turn.

Well of course Messi will play, it's Messi, if Pep doesn't start him(which is rare) then Messi will sub himself on at half-time.
Plus Barca will need something upfront as its likely going to be Keita, Busquets, Masch, Cuenca and Tello starting.

I despair with Gervinho and Walcott at times, really starting to think we should let both leave but I'll give them another season or 2 to prove me wrong.
Well done Arsenal, we managed to restore some pride at least. I won't criticise RVP for the miss either, without him this season it's frightening to imagine where we would be.
At least next season AOC should push someone out of the team permanently and Jacky will hopefully be back with a good pre season behind him. Looking forward to seeing what Miyaichi and Joel Campbell can do as well. Though It would be great to not be relying on unproven players, but what can we do with so little money. Still... I'm naively hopeful on Podolski.

Disagree, I prefer they not hide their bias. In European games commentators tend always to be biased towards a team from their league.
Yeah shit ref all round.
I wouldn't say that.

lucifer, as further solace i would just remind you that the first half was the first time we ever played with three strikers under max. allegri has admitted he made a tactical error. when aquilani came on and we switched to our normal formation we starting bossing possession as usual.
i missed aquaman so much, happy to have him back.

Well then you must cum in your pants every time Clive Tyldesley cums in his pants everytime United score on every game he commentates on especially the european ties they partake in.
Can i cum to the cum party?

Pogba Signs for Juve
$2m for his agent?
Less per week than we were said to be offering him?
Kill. Me. Now.

Aquilani -_-
It was always, always about Mino and his pocket.
Makes no sense whatsoever.
Thankfully it is on a Monday. Arsenal players need a massive rest after the last week and a bit. Going to be a tough game with or without these injuries.
Aquilani -_-
Is that a line on his wrist. Snniiiffffff
Yup. We were talking about this earlier.
It's the bloody agent.
Raiola is nothing but bad news. He's only looking for a big pay day.
You're odd. I like you.
And fucking hell, lost our two best youth prospects in the space of a few weeks. Jesus. Money fucking talks, it really does.
Why does no one want to play for United? This is the 2nd high profile youth team player to leave this season right?

2m Euro's for his agent?
Actually ridiculous. It was never ever about playing time or wages. Gutted.
Pogba we definitely wanted to keep. His agent has done the damage here. His agent is one of the worst (or best?) around. Basically stole him from his previous agent...and has now screwed us over too.

Morrison was never offered a contract it seems so I think that was more a case of us not wanting to keep him.

I'm know Utd fan but he can't have been that good given his age and the number of times he's played first team football. I wonder how good Cleverly is compared to him, probably better.

His agent is Mino Raiola?? SMH. Who would have thought you can hate a football agent lol.
Edit: Probably the richest agent in football. Guy represents Ibra, Van Bommel, Balotelli, Hamsik, Assaidi. Don't know how he gets all these players, he is only after money lol.(maybe the players are too)
Morrison was a nut job. United got rid of him.
Pogba looks like he's moving because Juventus have promised him more gametime. And also because his agent gets a massive commission from the sale.

He's still very much a talent but he is a very very talented player.
I don't think his number of appearances at his age means much. Better players than him haven't broken through than letter, worse players have broken through younger.

So disappointing on the Pogba front.
Oh well.

Then why we played the entire first half with three strikers? Once you see that the formation isn't that great, you try to fix it somehow. You ask one of the strikers to don't simply stand in front of their defense waiting for the ball, and to help the midfielders, just for 20 minutes, until the break. That was an error, Allegri admitted it, lesson learned. It just shouldn't take an entire half for a Milan manager.
I think I'm just worried to see another comeback similar to the ones in 2004 and 2005, I have enough of them for my lifetime.

He must pretty special in that case. And you guys definitely need that Scholes replacement and he could have that for you. Ferguson will definitely have to get someone in the summer then, don't want you getting Goetze though.
