I think Inter does as they would beat Arsenal, IMO.

Ah, yes.
But what i meant is that no-one comes close in quality to the top 4 teams. Inter might be the 5th best, but if we talk in "standings terms", they finished the season 10 pts behind the 4th placed team.

 

[bianconero]

4 of the best 5 teams are in the Semis to be honest.
With 4 of the best five players in the world: Messi, Ronaldo, Essien, and Bentner.

Certainly Inter comes in behind Liverpool considering they lost to them.

Does anybody think Arsenal is one of the top four best teams in the world?

I don't think so. It's obvious Chelsea, Manure and Barca are, however. But Arsenal? Nah, no way.

No you're right, but its hardly the first time a team gets a few lucky draws to reach the Semi's. Don't forget Chelsea reached the semi's last year by playing Olimpyakos and Fenerbahse, i'd say our two games were much harder than the former two.

Also we've been extremely unlucky with injuries this season. Cesc has been out for 3 and a half months, Walcott out for the same period, Edu hasn't got a run of games yet, Rosicky still hasnt played a minute of football, Gallas is now out for the rest of the season, Adebayor was out for a whole month. These players fit, and on their day we can beat almost any team. See the Man Utd, Chelsea games in the league for reference.

Arsenal will get slaughtered by Manure in Europe.

Nope. We always do well against the Mancs. If we lose, we'll lose it by a close margin. They won't have it easy.

I hate those English teams so much. They think they are the best (what they may be), but the fact that there were only 4 English players playing in the quaterfinals, says something.
I hope so much, that the 6+5 rule is introduced as quick as possible!

Edit: I forgot ManU. Still, these teams have Inter written all over them!

 

[Fred]

What a performance by Theo ey? That kid run Capdevilla ragged all day long and ripped em a new arsehole.

With English teams I think it's unfair if you don't consider their tradition of having British players.

Now recount.

He is good, but do you also have the feeling he'll never truely get there?

 

[Stephan]

mmm, EU Champions League.



more like Cristopher Columbus discovering England.

 

[Fred]

Well it depends how you define "there". I'm not pinning too much hopes on him as everyone who knows me knows that i dont rate him as highly as most English press or Arsenal fans do. But he's got the potential to be a decent player. Certainly nothing like the Henry's, Pires's and Bergkamp's of the world though.

I agree, he'll be another Wright-Phillips, perhaps.

Where was Bendtner tonight?

 

[Bjerknes]

Nope. We always do well against the Mancs. If we lose, we'll lose it by a close margin. They won't have it easy.

Prove us wrong and please knock Manure out of the tournament.

 

[Fred]

He sure is.

Nay, he'll be a much better player than SWP under Arsene's guidance, but he won't be that star player people are waiting for. He will however in my opinion develop into a key player for Arsenal, he's already a very useful weapon against teams who adopt a high line.

 

[Esteban]

For the sake of football; not another Chelsea - Man U final. I wouldn't watch it.

 

[bianconero]

Manchester may be the armpit of England, but they'll make as a team a great final against Barça.

 

[Fred]

Prove us wrong and please knock Manure out of the tournament.

I hope so. If we're lucky with injuries and our key players are available, anything is possible.
