Champions League Final

[AJ]

... Ouch.

Somewhere, Thierry Henry's transfer papers rustle.

[ravenjuice]

Deserved i suppose...

[Guest Kliq Masterson]

Bye, bye, Gooners.

[IAceI]

I love the patriotism.

[gunnar hendershow]

DAMN!! Now that was a lucky goal. It looked for sure that it was going to be stopped, but he left his legs open.

[Evafreak]

2-1 Both goals set up by Henke cant see Arsenal coming back from this

[ravenjuice]

Arsenal havent been the same side since Henry missed the 1-1, probably the turning point imo.

[Guest Kliq Masterson]

Wenger's to blame for this. You don't take off Fabregas for Flamini. You just don't.

Unless Frabegas is injured and I missed something.

[ravenjuice]

Nah he just looked a bit tired.

I think after that it more was a huge wake up to Barcelona than anything. Arsenal had been getting more and more tired on defense as the match went on.

But as I always say, it isn't over yet.

[GA!]

Seeing as they're losing now, I might as well mention how Arsenal have lost their previous two cup finals in European competition very late into the game - against Real Zaragoza and Galatasary in the Cup Winners Cup and UEFA Cup respectively. This has to be the third part of the trilogy surely.

[therockbox]

Even though they've got nothing to lose, Arsenal just seem reluctant to commit anyone extra forward. Just lob everyone up except a couple of defenders, if you lose you lose.

[IAceI]

At least they got this far, and didn't get beaten to the UEFA Cup by Lille.

[Guest DirtyFoot]

Oh well

[Guest Kliq Masterson]

Man, Henry seems pissed like motherfuck. Wouldn't be suprised if he bolts after this.

[therockbox]

Shame about the sending off, ruined the game really, but it was deserved.

On the plus side; Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell both had good games.

[IAceI]

It's probably deserved but I really wanted to see the cup stay in England, since, y'know, I'm English?

[Guest Kliq Masterson]

Jesus, Samuel Eto'o really, really looks like a monkey. No wonder people make monkey noises at him.

[Cortez]

Gutted we lost, and I once again hate Lehman with a passion lol.

In fairness we played well, but it just wasn't to be, we stared looking tired and Barcelona took advantage of it.
