I'd say Liverpool will beat Chelsea in the semis. Chelsea were poor again tonight and a better side would have got back into it.

How was that a penalty???
I suppose if you've lost your balance and your arms are flailing you shouldn't be going near an attacker in the penalty area. If your name is Toure you definitely shouldn't. :)Quote:

I enjoyed that one.
Don't think it was a penalty. Fabergas caught Babel's hand outside the box, Babel lost his balance and knocked into the other Arsenal player (Toure?).
Didn't think it was one myself either, they do get given though so if I were Wenger and wanted to focus on a turning point I'd look at the obvious penalty in the first leg, or signing Sendaros a few years back :DQuote:

What would you have done? Changed the penalty taker for the most important penalty of the season because he's having a bad game?Quote:

worst of all - we now have another liverpool chelsea semi - the 2 most negative teams in europe going head to head..
sad night for football... i hope arsenal come back stronger than ever next year [and i think they will].. and i hope benitez gets the chop - and liverpool finally get someone to manage them who makes them some bit watchable...
roy evans anyone!!!!
Ignore this poster.Quote:

Chelsea being at home in the second leg I think will swing it in their favour. Much easier to play at home in second leg knowing exactly what has to be done.Quote:

Had a laugh at that one myself. :DQuote:

I think (though I could be wrong) that he's being sarcastic.Quote:
