UEFA Champions League Leg 2: Arsenal vs. Manchester United (5/5/09, 2:45 ESPN)

[blazinjkid]

The leg 1 post was in the depths somewhere, so I figured we'd get a tabula rasa crackin' for this one.

2-1 Manchester in extra time, with Rooney possibly getting thrown out

 

[jonfarr]

haha, why do you think Rooney is gonna get thrown out?

Slap in the face for calling this the UEFA Cup.

Arsenal will win in PKs, book it!

 

[cquan05]

I'm going with Arsenal because they have never been knocked out of a semifinal in European play, I see the trend continuing here.

Is it not a cup? I'm new to all these European leagues, my apologies to the fútbol purists

1-1 final score, Manure advances.

I'm gonna guess that if Arsenal score first, they'll play extra tight the rest of the way and try to get this thing into extra time. Arsenal simply cannot afford to give up ANY goals in this match.

Agreed. Rooney always manages to get thrown out at some point. Lol.

its not about being 'purists' and whatnot... the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League are 2 different tournaments. The Champions League is comprised ofthe top teams from the various European leagues, while the UEFA Cup features the 'secondary' teams from the European leagues. A tournament of the"best of the rest", if you will.

Anyway, I see Anderson's been chosen...

Come on, dude. I normally wouldn't nit-pick but the UEFA Cup is completely different than the CL.

ManU 3 - Arsenal 1

 

[ill legal operation]

Arsenal's attacking more in four minutes than they did all of the last game.

 

[carlos tevez]

Wow, very interesting line-up by Manure. Looks like a 4-5-1?

 

[Sinner]

WTH, Rooney's the only 'striker' and SAF has him wide on the left with CRon up front??? 4-5-1???

EDIT ~ Park Ji-Sung!!!

 

[xblaze23]

against the tide, the rookie shows inexperience.

 

[ill legal operation]

IN!
