Amid the joy of the Woolwich scumballs losing then predictably being moaning about how it wasnt fair, could'nt help feeling a twinge of what might have been if we'd won on the last day.

Yup Yup Yup, but nout we can do...

What made me laugh last night was the ITV commentators (I didn't watch sky sports)
They were like;
'Arsenal 20 minutes from destiny'
'Barcelona can't break their solid defence'
'Toure is invincible!'

The as soon as Eto scores it was;
'It was a matter of time'

Still, I was celebrating like mad when he slipped that ball home..

yer he's top boy eto. I've got a horrible feeling that henry was going to go to italy, but this whole match rigging and club involvement thing might stop that. No wonder viera wanted to leave juventus as they might end up playing in their bottom division lol. Although with all that corruption you wonder when it will happen here. Oh it already has. Also good to see arsenal get a taste of their own medicine. Pires, ljungerg and reyes have been some of the worst divers in the prem, and yet you don't like it when people play the ref against you. I thought the decisions were ok to be honest, he sent off lehman, gave a bad one for arsenals goal, and maybe it was offside for eto, which is the lino's call. But it even's out. Henry was acting like he was clattered every time he got tackled, yet he did the worst tackle of the match!

sportsmanship and arsenal dont go together. it was good to see barca and the spurs supporting ref dish out a bit of justice to the pathetic weasels.

ashley cole looked well out of sorts too, maybe we'll have another england boy in bridge soon. barca had their tactics spot on trying to hold back cole and eboie, just think they were a bit slow moving the ball.

In all honesty, Barca's tactics last night were too simply stop him getting the ball, they kicked and hacked at him, and even had 2 men on him at times, he got away from marquez straight away in the first 2 min, and then marquez shat himself and had Puyol help him everytime. Barca used questionable tactics throughout the game, only to full effect....wish we'd beaten west ham... :(

Perhaps it was for the best ... Look at everton. It's been a long time since we were in Europe especially with a strong squad. A good run in the Uefa cup will gear up nicely for a crack at CL football next season.
Was it just me or did Arsenal look nowhere near as fit as barca.

Barcelona is what Real Madrid expected to be after spending all that money....an actual SUPERTEAM

To be fair to barcelona they all pretty much pull in the same direction. Barring Becks and Casillas Real run round like headless chickens . Full of players who think they're good but wouldn't even get into a top half PL first team automatically ( Zidane, Raul, Fat-Boy ....sorry Ronaldo and Carlos).
