18th, 19th and 20th Footy - CL and UEFA Cup *spoilers* galore! - Nedved still off

I'm definately happy with that. They don't seem to score many so 1 goal there should be enough. I can't remember them having 1 decent chance tonight.

I found the commentary quite baffling. They seemed to think Arsenal were happy with 5 mins injury time and Villarreal mad :confused: I know I didn't want them to have as long as possible to score an away goal, by which they have got through both knockout rounds.
 
As I and many other people who don't go off club reputation knew, Villareal were no pushovers. Solid performance by both teams.

Pity Arsenal couldn't get a second goal but its no bad thing at all to win 1-0. I always fancy a team to go through with a 1-0 home win since the away side hasn't grabbed an away goal.

Was very tense all the way through. Looks like the second leg will be the same.

Also, how can you say they've had just as many chances as us? We've had 9 shots to their 3 and 2 of them were from free kicks. I can only remember them having one chance from open play and we've had quite a few.

Chances was the wrong word, I apologise. I meant that they'd been equal in possesion and had pressured us as much as we them, but we'd had more chances (as we were playing quicker than them).

Second half was more our way, but they were tough to break down. Fair play to them, they'd obviously done their research and stayed tight at the back and kept Fabregas very quiet. I'm incredibly nervous about going there with only a 1-0 lead though, regardless of who they are and how they play. Still, keeping the clean sheet was definitely a good thing.

Oh, and very good reffing for that. Other than the pen shout, I don't think he made a mistake otherwise, since the linesmen were at fault for the offsides really.

Well done lads, halfway there. :)

Arsenal didnt look too convincing to begin with, although I still think Villarreal will do something speacial at home. Really tempted to put a 2-0 bet on for the return leg.

I dont pay that much attention to his posts to notice if he does it regulary

But seeing as Gilly was confused as well i had a look and it seems he only does
it here, so what gives? do you know something we dont?
 
Not a good performance at all but in the past we would have drawn or lost these games so can't be too unhappy. Gilberto I thought was immense as well, great performance by him.

Decent result overall and now lets hope we get the job done in Spain.
