Arsenal were so poor tonight, Wenger obviously can't motivate the team for any sort of un-important game, although the players should be giving 100% all the time. Only Wiltshire, Denilson and Djourou looked like they wanted to be there tonight, the rest didn't deserve to ware the Arsenal shirt. Just shocking, boring play from us today. Port did well.
Yup, just been on sky sports
Would have liked the win, we really made hard work of Aalborg when with our lineup it should have been a walk in the park.
It's not like we didn't have the chances either - Tevez was particularly wasteful despite the goal.
Anderson looks brilliant, really attacking thinker and has a fantastic range of passing. He really needs to sort his shooting out though.

Seen nothing to worry me about Villarreal from the games vs Utd and the odd game they've been on Sky this season. A neat and tidy side but nothing more. Would love to get Madrid, would be a cracking tie in terms of european history and stature.

Tevez should have had several tonight. Finish was good for the first one but the chance he missed a bit later was absolutely dire. He can't miss chances like that in the big games. Anderson's pass for Rooney's goal was pure class.
bit concerned about all the chances being wasted, any of the teams we come up against next could easily punish us for being that wasteful right in front of goal
Hopefully Brown gets back quickly from his injury/surgery after Xmas to his form of last season

Got to be clutching at straws if you think that albino kid is going to save your season

Rafael cant play every game (unfortunately) and the less Neville and OShea play the better
The fact that "albino kid" (who has been with Utd's senior team for 10 years btw) was a major part of the team that won a CL and EPL and a defence that conceded the least in both competitions, speaks for itself imo
Plus he isnt that bad in the opposition half either
I was lucky enough to be at the Bernabau last night to the the Real v Zenit game. Its the first time I have watched a game outside of the UK. There were 60000 people there but it was very quiet at times, for the majority the Zenit fans were the loudest. Where I was sitting it was just rounds of appluse and the odd comment from local fans. There was a small pocket of dancing fans with a drum behind the south goal but that was only about 500 people.
Anyway, Robben was awesome, completely skinned the Zenit defence and was easily MOTM. Raul was good, typical predator for the first goal where the Zenit keeper dropped a cross. Zenit to their credit kept going even at 3-0 and were unlucky not to score, they hit the post twice and Danny played pretty well.
My biggest dissapointment was Arshavin, hardly saw anything of him which was a shame.
All together a good eveing though, enjoyed the whole experience. I now want to go to a Real v Barca game but thats pretty unlikely as tickets sellout within minutes to members.

Good one mate!
Real Madrid crowd never cheer like animals – we only cheer when Real Madrid plays well or at least is trying to do things well. It is a complete different story, people say they don’t like it. Well, that is why I am a Madrid supporter, only cheer in certain moments and talk to the other people about the game itself. You don’t get Atletico or Liverpool’s over the top cheering.
It is an acquired taste I suppose

what needs saving
3 points off the top of the premier league if we win our game in hand.
Topped our group in the CL knockout stages.
In the semi -final of the carling cup.
