Champions League Spoilers 7th/8th March

Great 1st half of the Arsenal v Madrid match. Both teams are playing great football but Arsenal appear the team most likely to put the ball in the back of the net.

Ronaldo's had his chances (poor header, should've scored) and Zidane had a good chance but his 1st touch was bad and Toure cleared.

Henry is his usual superb self. His balance is absolutely superb. Beckham is having a quiet game considering he's up against Flamini tonight. One player who is surprising me is Hleb. He's done well in the 1st half.

Madrid will have to cut down on their careless defending in the 2nd half if they're to keep Arsenal out.

//edit

Anyone noticed Ronaldo's black right eye? He apparently had a scuffle with Guti in the dressing room a couple of matches back.

Andy Gray has a hard on for Arsenal in every game.

They could be getting tonked 4-0 and he'll still be raving about how good they are, were, could be.

As he did through the 90's with Man Utd.
Its just his sycophantic way of commentating.

omg.
i was working so missed the 1st half (and the posts here) and didn't catch our lineup in any of the radio snippets i've managed to pick up.Now i see it ,i wish i hadn't rushed round so much to get back for the second half :mad:

Jeez,i don't know about 11 vs 9, more like 11 vs 7 -you cant count Moro and Crouch as players either,as the only job they have to do is beyond them -ie stick the ball in the stringy thing behind the stick thingies

Milan are on fire

4-1 up now

Why does rafa choose morientes all the time, face it he can't score. Shame 2-3 years ago he was great.

Christ how did Raul screw that one up

CliffyG · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:04

bit too close for my liking. Hope they dont build up a head of steam now, although it will leave them open behind.

I think their playing quite well....Passing the ball around well and i honestly think a goal can't be far away.....Their the better side thats for sure......I didn't even know Becks was playing until i seen that awful freekick

Pires has just come on and so has Baptista for Madrid.....He still holding out for a better contract (Pires) ?

CliffyG · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:17

This is the first game i've seen Hleb play well, hes doing very well out there.

9761 · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:18

How long left for arsenal game?

WushuMaster · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:18

Am i right in thinking we are missing loads of chances?

CliffyG · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:21

Reyes has been the only one to properly miss. Henry could have had 2 in the last few mins though. Great save for 1 and the other just wide.

9761 · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:23

free kick on edge of area :eek:

9761 · 8 Mar 2006 at 21:24
