Rei 9 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 ..If Arsenal don't get to the final, I'd love to see a Barcelona v AC Milan showdown in Paris. What a final that would be. I'd prefer Barca vs. Juve.. :: this year Juve could win both the italian (quite sure) and the Champions League anyway 2 italian teams in the quarters for sure.. not bad! waiting for Inter next week.. uhmm.. coming back to 2003 Semifinal: Milan-Inter Final: Milan-Juve :wwww: Link to post Share on other sites

Rob. 2053 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 So far, two Italian teams, two Spanish sides, an English, French and Portuguese club in the last eight. No, no. So far, two Italian teams, two Spanish sides, two French sides and a Portuguese club are in the last eight. :cry: Don't be so bitter. It's not as if the Liverpool and Everton situation of last season is going to happen again. Pardew questions Arsenal policy West Ham boss Alan Pardew has hit out at Arsene Wenger for not fielding an English player in Arsenal's Champions League win against Real Madrid. ... Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor said: "It's an English club but not an English success, it's probably a greater reflection of youngsters from France and elsewhere in Europe.

arwebb 133 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Wide open draw. I wouldn't underestimate Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites

arwebb 133 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Very much said with the benefit of hindsight, I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites
Quintana 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Nope, last year we beat them with a lot of luck. Lyon has only become stronger since then while PSV lost its best players to the more wealthy clubs as usual. Given the fact that Lyon really wanted revenge and we are awfull away from home this year (3-0 defeat at Schalke and Fenerbahçe and 0-0 at Milan) I knew it was going to be extremely hard to advance. We were very unlucky in our home game hitting both bar and post and we lost with 0-1 because of a very rare mistake by our goalkeeper. In Lyon we didn't stand a chance, especially after Cocu got send off. People keep underestimating Lyon no matter how good their results are. I would certainly class them above the likes of Ajax (very crappy team indeed), Inter, Benfica, Villarreal and Arsenal and on par with Juve and Milan. Link to post Share on other sites
arwebb 133 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 People do underestimate Lyon and they shouldn't because they are an excellent side. You don't make the quarter-finals of the Champions League without quality. That said, I do think Milan will have a bit too much class for them. Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 33 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Arsenal 2 - 0 Juventus Arsenal were so much better this evening. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the Juventus changing room - they had two sent off in the last 10 minutes, more yellow cards (including Vieira who'll miss the next match) and their manager looked furious. Benfica 0 - 0 Barcelona Link to post Share on other sites
NYCD 2012 3 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well ....... any coments , Robert ? GO ARSNEAL :laugh: :wwww: Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2053 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well done, you deserved it. You were by far the better team and, though it pains me to say it, Arse*** can play some beautiful football when they want to. As far as the Premiership goes, however, I can only hope that the semi-final and your re-arranged fixture against Portsmouth leads to a wee bit of fixture congestion towards the back end of April. We could do with you not picking up too many points in the next couple of months! Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 33 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Inter Milan 2 - 1 Villarreal Lyon 0 - 0 AC Milan I watched the highlights of yesterdays Benfica/Barcelona match late last night - It was great, who knew a 0-0 draw could be so eventful and exciting? Link to post Share on other sites

arwebb 133 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 I don't think so. I think Inter will score in the second leg, which will make Villarreal's task that much harder. Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 33 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 AC Milan 3 - 1 Lyon Villarreal 1 - 0 Inter Milan The AC Milan win was certainly closer than the final score suggests - Lyon looked set to go through for virtually the whole match with the score at 1-1 and in my opinion were the better team. AC Milan and Villarreal go through and Lyon and Inter go home. Link to post Share on other sites
