it will be a very boring CL final if 2 english teams reached the final

It's all ready boring with 4 english teams in the quarters .

1-1, how predictable. I actually have money on Liverpool advancing after a 1-1 and then 0-0 scoreline. So far so good.

Somehow it doesn't matter who's managing them, watching Liverpool play is a chore.

Thats what Liverpool would attempt to do.I dont expect Rafa to be too adventurous at home.But no one should be too surprised.This is what he's done in the CL since he took over at Liverpool - Get a favourable result in the first leg,and then hold out for a 0-0 draw in the 2nd leg.Predictable,yet effective.

 

[Henry]

very effective. but i don't think hyppia and skrtel will be able to keep arsenal from scoring. so we will need at least two

i'm interested to hear what those of you who saw arsenal-liverpool thought of hleb's penalty appeal. i thought that given how the ref was caling the rest of the match, that he was very consistent. i could see it given, but for two english teams, it was in my opinion not worthy of a penalty. granted, as a liverpool fan, i'm biased, but had that been torres i would have been disappointed of course, but i hope i would say the same thing, that in a game called the way it was, the ref made the correct and consistent decision

I think this is a lot of mental masturbation. What's done is done. Doesn't make a bit of difference. Nobody is going to celebrate a CL trophy with an asterisk over this... though some argue we should.

That said, I hate soft penalties and letting refs decide matches instead of players. On that alone, I could see where other refs would call a penalty, but the no call seemed more appropriate to me.

And I don't like either team.

Looked like a definite penalty to me.

Hleb was beyond him and Kuyt did just enough to knock him off balance by tugging on Hleb's shoulder.

definetly a penalty

 

[Fred]

I thought Hleb could have stayed on his feet, he bottled it, didnt have enough self confidence so he decided not to.

Having said that, Kuyt made enough contact for it to be called a penalty.

 

[Red]

But its not about whether he could have stayed on his feet.

If that had happened outside the box, it would be a given as a foul every time and no-one would question it.

True, i'm not saying it wasnt a penalty, i'm just saying that, instead of blaming it all on the ref, Hleb should take some blame too, he bottled it, his shooting phobia got the better of him (as always).

 

[Henry]

man, i'm so nervous about tomorrow! i honestly am starting to think arsenal have a better chance of progressing psyching myself out, I guess.

 

[Zé Tahir]

I hope your thinking is right

 

[Henry]

i hope I'm completely and utterly wrong

 

[Maher]

i have a feeling that liverpool-Arsenal match will end in penalties after another 1-1 draw.

same as me.

 

[sateeh]

roma are doing things quietly something thats really different than the first leg, i see one of the two extremes happening.

ohh and forza fener

 

[Maher]

dont know if roma can do it since Manu will play without 2 of their starting defenders who are injured.
