Champions League 2008/09

[The Jack]

At least he doesn't spit on opposition players and officials like one captain I know...

Good win this morning but should have been 3 or 4. Cracking goal by O'Shea though.

at least this certain player your talking about doesnt spit on supporters of other teams like a certain player that used to play for liverpool and now blackburn.

So opposition players and officials are fair game, but not opposition supporters???? Target players and officials all you like, but don't you dare hock a lugey at an opposition supporter! Poor form that is!

Man Utd will be dissapointed with only the 1 goal lead. Dominated the chances and should have put the tie away. Rio in doubt for the second leg and if Arsenal can get RVP back there will a few twists and turns left in this semi final.

On a positive note i thought Berbatov looked very good when he came on. Even chased back into defence on more then one occasion. I would still start Tevez in the second leg but if Berba can provide that sort of effort and spark more consistently then he will back in the starting XI before too long

What a crushing win by Man U **** off Arsenal. Great to see Ronaldo back to his brilliant best after a slow start to the season, what an awesome free kick to put them up 2 nil. 3-1. We are going to Rome.

[Tooting Bec]

up there with strikes of the season.

[Swooper16]

A fair strike...altho the goalile should have done alot better. Fantastic result for United. I was a little worried when i saw the formation we were going with but once that Gibbs fell over and gifted us the first goal the result was never in doubt.

If i was an Arsenal fan i would be pretty dissapointed tho. Never looked threatening over the 2 legs and looked a class below Utd. Have never seen them give the ball away in midfield as much as i did this morning.

Feel sorry for Fletcher. Not the most gifted footballer but works incredibly hard in midfield to allow players like Ronaldo to do their thing up front. He shouldnt miss the final for that..!!

What a crushing win by Man U f*** off Arsenal. Great to see Ronaldo back to his brilliant best after a slow start to the season, what an awesome free kick to put them up 2 nil. 3-1. We are going to Rome.

no need to say F off arsenal....you deserved the win no doubt. better team on both legs but no need to say F off . mate.

[RoosterMarty]

Fantastic performance again and we clearly deserved to progress after dominating both legs.

Ronaldo - absolutely unbelievable again. He is peaking at the right time and so are his team mates.

Park - scored the first one and will surely make the team this year after missing out last season??

Fletcher - ROBBED! Disgraceful decision to send him off, give a penalty if you want ref as the game was well over by then but not a red. No appeals process with UEFA so we just have to hope they rescind the red. Fletch would be very handy in Rome. Another poor decision goes against United and some people whinge that the refs always favour us???

It was a clear penalty. Yes he got the ball, but Fatbigarse still could have scored had he not been hacked down by Fletcher from BEHIND.

It wasn't a red, but it was a clear penalty.

Soooooooo hope Ronaldo misses a penalty again this year. Twat.

[Swooper16]

I hope he scores again this year as well..!!

[RoosterMarty]

Yeah I don't care about the penalty but the red card was pretty cruel.

I don't care who wins the other semi really, a Barca win would set up a dream Final though.

[Bully]

congrats to man united and their supporters on the win over us gunners. played well and out classed us in every position on the ground in both legs. All the best for the final i think it might be against chelski again.

on the penalty yes he got the ball but he tackled from behind and brought him down so to me it was a penalty but who cares now ment nothing to me only that we scored.

[RoosterMarty]

I have seen the incident a number of times now and I don't think it was a penalty. He got the ball. Who cares if it was from behind? He didn't go through the player to get the ball, he went around, and the spitter went rolling head over heals. Absolute disgrace that he will miss the Final because of that.

chelsea 1-0 up after 30 mins

[shoe boy]

Good by Chelsea and what a performance after the game by Drogba and Ballick I hope they are both fined or suspended!

[JK]

Sounds like a case of karma for Chelsea and Drogba, can't wait to watch the replay.

[Wedgie]

I watched most of it and I don't like Chelsea but they were ripped off.

[JK]

Yeah the report I read sounded as though they were stiff ... Swings and Roundabouts though, thats the nature of the game.

[BALLHOG]

What a cracking final it will be probably the best two teams in world football Man U v Barca. Can't wait was a little nervous if we had to play Chelsea again.

[RoosterMarty]

I'm glad we have Barca actually. Should be a great final but they will be missing Marquez, Alves and Abidal. This means they will pretty much have a 'B' strength defence.. but anything can happen.

Some highlights from this morning:
