Tuesday 18th:
Milan vs Barcelona - My sources tell me these two teams are pretty decent apparently. One to watch perhaps lads!

Thursday 20th:
Steaua vs Middlesbruff - Oh yeah, them. Best of luck 'boro. :)
and Schalke vs Sevilla - Insert perfunctory comment here.

aaaaand Wednesday 19th:
Arsenal vs Villareal - Larger, colored text is cunningly used to denote importance.

Likely line-up for tomorrow:

Mad Jens
Flamini
Super Kolo
Senderos
Eboueboueboueboue
Pires
Giblet
The Mighty Fabregas
Hleb
Ljundberg
Thierry "off to Barca" Henry

Subs bench (probably): Aluminium, The Old Dutch Master, The New Dutch Master, Diaby, Walcott

Should be a cracker. We've got a fantastic chance to make the final, BUT we really cannot think like that at all. Aston Villareal could well actually be the toughest team we've faced so far, so even though we go in favourites, with a fantastic european form and record, we've got to hope the lads don't act like they're guaranteed a win, especially with the first game being at home. We got an easy group stage, and although we played brilliantly against Juve and Madrid, both of them did flatter us somewhat by being pretty damn dire, and the guys we play tomorrow are going to be much more like us - faltering in the league, but with a hungry side giving it their all in the CL. Not get a decent result tomorrow and a tired team is going to have a lot to do in Spain next week. A win is essential quite frankly, and hopefully by more than one goal to give us a less nervy second leg. The trouble is though, with the visit of the dirty heathen spuds on Saturday, we've got three incredibly important games in the space of seven days, and we need to be on top form for all them. Crunch time! I'm as nervous as ever, but I'll be proud of the team whatever we manage now. :D

And because it wouldn't be a proper footy thread without a FACT :cool: - Should Henry score tomorrow (here's hoping!), it'll mark his 50th goal in 100 European games. Not a bad tally that.

Can you take that 9671 bloke too ;)

Should be a good game, I wonder if Wenger will try to throw a spanner in the works and play 4-4-2 to throw Aston Villa off their game plan? Walcott to come on and score the winner....

Bakke was brought down with 2 hands on his shoulders (2 different players) after he burst into the box. No pen given, should have apparently been a red card. Don't know who for, maybe both defenders :p

Healy's sounded like a corker. Their goal was an oggie.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BBC Radio Leeds have a new guy in the studio that takes over during the half time break while the guys have a drink and some snap.

He's just read out a number, which is a very unfortunate one for him. He has a slight speech impediment thats only really evident when he says the letters 'thr' together.

The number for the phone-in?

0845 fwree oh fwree double fwree double fwree

:D :D

Drop me an email closer to the Wigan game and I'll see if I can get you a special programme if you want, it's a £5 for that game.

The last ever European and Evening game at the Arsenal Stadium ever. FACT.
 
Sheff have had a pen turned down that maybe should have been given apparently. So if he's got that wrong too thats plenty of bad decisions and 2 game-changing ones.

Barca are taking Milan apart at will.
 
Who would you rather face in the play-offs Gilly? (although you do end up playing two out of three of them anyway)

Good goal by Barca. Excellent through-ball by Ronnaldeano (or so the ITV commentator (not Pleat is it by any chance?) calls him), and very nicely taken finish. Milan have it all to do now, and they're still not exactly trying too hard. I realise I'll get jumped on by BoomAM or Nedved for saying it, but the Italian teams have really crumbled under decent pressure in Europe.

Cheers dude, that would be much appreciated indeed. :)

Hopefully now I should actually have a decent amount of money to my name, and the new stadium having far more seats, I might actually be able to make the odd game next season. Might get one for Dennis's testimonial.

I think the side I want to avoid are Watford. They have so many of our old players.

I think I'd like to play Preston and then Palace, although I'm not all that sure it makes any difference. It's a lottery in the end.
