I seriously hope this is a wind up, you argue against your own point in this statemnet alone.

thought all three utd goals were terrific! ARSEnal looked toothless in attack once more i.m.o the red card was one of the worst decisions ever seen in in a european game i still think it will be a repeat of last years final.


good luck chelsea

Fletcher flung his leg into the challenge. The ball hit his studs and diverted the bouncing ball a couple of feet. At the same time as he was making contact with the ball his other leg tripped up Fabregas.

Just because Fletcher made a slight contact with the ball it doesn't negate the fact that Fabregas was tripped up by Fletcher.

There's also the fact that Fletcher grabbed hold of Fabregas's shoulder to get into position to make the challenge.

If Fletcher had cleared the ball with his tackle then IMO it would have been play on. But instead of clearing the ball it was just nudged slightly. If Fabregas hadn't been brought down then he'd have been left 1-on-1 with the keeper 16 yards out. He'd have buried it. But he was denied that by Fletcher tripping him up.

Fantastic performance from the Reds, the third goal was pure class. Fancy Ronaldo not showing up again in a big game eh

Gutted for Fletch, arguably the best player over the two legs.

Don't really care who we get in the final although if I had to choose I would plump for Barca.

Arsenal were shiite, more penetration from a flacid 87 year old, yet the London mafia will still be telling us that the Teflon Don is planning for the future, just a shame nobody has told them tomorrow never comes.

Hoping tomorow's game is a better spectacle.

What would be nicer than Terry getting a booking and then substituted late on to save him for the final and then the ref booking him as he goes off slowly to waste a bit of time. That would be funny as fuuck and we could have a comp who would cry more, Terry or Lord God Jose Mourinho.

You're a sick man, I like it

It's them there Cockerneys with their plastic flags and plastic fans, I wish them nothing but heartbreak.

Nice to see Arsenal fans do the Wigan walk after 60 mins, that's what you can't give 'em for free, loyalty.

Some United fans couldn't get in with tickets, maybe we should ask other's how it's done(reference to Athens not Hillsborough).

Spot on. I wonder if they took their flags with them.
