Arsenal’s Historical Night: To The Final We GO!

? ? ?

It was kind of a dull match. Arsenal defending well, Villareal attacking bad. Near the end of the match, Villareal get a penalty, I was like thats it, if they score its going to extra time, and both teams will attack and we will concede a goal. Lehman bravely saved the ball. WHAT A FEELING. Might be the biggest sigh of relief I have ever taken.

Now we move to the Final of the Uefa Champions League, a first for Arsenal, it will be either Barcelona or Milan, Barca has a 1-0 lead from the first leg, the second leg is? in Barcelona. An Arsenal Barcelona final would be a dream, both teams attack with furious speed. Arsenal have a better defence than Barcelona, but we dont have Ronaldinho, and they dont have OUR Henry :)

What Arsene Wenger said about the Final:

Now it is a Final and you will see a different Arsenal team because we will recover a bit physically and no matter what happens we have everything to win and we will give it our best shot. I believe we can do it. There will be big expectation and I hope it will be a fantastic game of football.

On the prospect of facing Barcelona, he said:

We have seen tonight that we were comfortable in the first game but in the second game we didn’t look comfortable at all. A lot can change in a week so maybe it will happen [when Barcelona play Milan].

? On Lehman saving the penalty:

I felt frankly that it was a generous decision. Then I thought to myself, if it is our year, Jens will save it. Maybe the strength of character of Jens was important because I knew he would not be beaten easily. There was a lot of pressure on Requellmie and he had fatigue, but Jens had determination and class, and he showed again what a great goalkeeper he has been this season.

Here is a link to the penalty save at youtube.

      horse shoe u think wenger is stupid, well thats a bold statement man, i think he’s the best manager ever, i dont know where u got ur info from, ur prob a man u fan

      To be fair to horse shoe, i will give him a chance to explain why wenger is stupid, and i’ll prove him wrong.
      Hes either a Man U or Chelski fan.
      Wenger is one of the smartest managers out there. Explain to me how the hell would he find all of these magnificant players that no one in the world knows. Toure, Sanderous, Clichy, Eboue, Flamini, Fabregas, and countless others. Plus when Henry came, everyone thought he was a loser, and look at what he has become.

      Barca made the final, i wouldnt have wanted to face milan in the final, as they have a stronger defence. Barca’s defense sucks, even a hard core ignorant barca fan will tell u that, and both teams attack really fast, but barca is better in that. Its going to be either one of the greatest finals ever, or one of the dullest, but judging how both teams want this cup so badly, i think arsenal want it more, its going to be a HUGE final.
      cant wait!

      I doubt they’ll top last year’s final (which is the greatest final ever btw), but anything could happen :)

      The Champions League final is more important than the match against totenham or manchester.
      he went into the manchester match like that, cause he knew he couldnt win it and he didnt want to try to win it.
      He made the final, passing through some very tough teams, while manchester crashed out, arsenal had 15 points in the first round, manchester had 6 from 6 matches!
      He will win the final inshallah, and u will see how a great manager he is.

      On the contrary. Ferguson is the stupid coach, why? two words… Jaap Stam.

    10. Gravatar Icon 10 wenger Apr 29th, 2006 at 12:38 am

      wow ya horse shoe, u really think ferguson is a really smart coach. well lets go back in time.
      u forgot that ferguson spent millions of dollars in previous years on players that didnt do anything for their team which made the club lose ton of money. u forgot how much he bought “Veron” for. let me remind u around 40$ million and veron didnt do shit, same goes to Forlan which he bought for AROUND 25$ million. u forgot how much he bought Ferdinand for, well let me remind u, for about 40$ milion and he’s a peice of shit too. Ferguson spend too much money on fucked up players which messed up manchester united and made them 2nd richest club in the world instead of 1st, and its time for him to leave.
      i really think he’s one of the worst managers of all time.
      at least wenger doesnt spend a quarter of wat ferguson has did.

      i think this is ferguson’s last year and eriksson will take over, i have a gut feeling that will happen

      I don’t think he paid that much for Forlan, but still.. Forlan turns out to be the top goal scorer in La Liga. Only shows ferguson’s managerial stupidity.

    13. Gravatar Icon 13 Yazeed Apr 29th, 2006 at 8:48 am

      ferguson bought forlan for 7.5 million (pounds)
      and sold him for a million

    14. Gravatar Icon 14 Carlsb3rg Apr 29th, 2006 at 4:05 pm

      and he left the 2nd top goal scorer in the EPL on the bench today. heh
