Arsenal v Villareal
 

Anyone want to talk about this? Senderos hurt his knee v. Spurs, so Sol Campbell returns from his absence and broken nose, which makes me a bit nervous, but surely he's close to 100% or Wenger couldn't risk him.

Even though this is obviously a huge match, I'm not particularly worried tonight as I usually am before CL matches, because I am pessimistic that Arsenal can beat Barcelona in the final. Still, just typing this has gotten the anticipation going a bit.

(Come on you Gooners!)

Since when do sports fans think this way?! Positive attitude!

Anyway, Sol Campbell on one leg is probably = to Senderos. I don't see how Villareal can go through unless they catch some sort of lucky break.

Here's something really stupid: Barcelona may not reach the final (althought I don't see Arsenal beating Milan either)

I'm praying Riquelme will have a better game than in the first leg, it will make the game interesting.

Huge game for the arse, this could really make our season if we get through this round. Champions League final will be huge for us. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

Once again ESPN will be showing the Arsenal match but not the Barcelona match. What's the deal?

Re: Arsenal v Villareal
 

Game starting, let's hope for a nice match

Arsenal is being too passive and they might regret it later on, they're also very likely not to be one man down (and a very questionable penalty decision could have gone against them)

Re: Arsenal v Villareal
 

0-0 at half time. I'll take that. Absolutely no way a penalty but Gilberto should definately have been sent off. He probably would have been if Villarreal (and most other Spanish teams) didn't have a reputation of being the biggest diving [censored] in the world.

Arsenal are awful to watch when they play negative football.
