Well strictly speaking I've won. At the very least we've lasted one day longer than Chelsea in the competition.

The last thing we need is more managers like Arsene Wenger mumbling their way through another post match interview. For all Fergusons faults at least he says what he thinks and gets involved.
I really wanted Barca to get through last night as I watched the game - not because I dislike Chelsea but because if Chelsea had gone on to reach the final that would have been another 5 matches of Mourinho whining.
Let's see how Benfica like a proper Anfield welcome tonight!Never give an AI an even break.

Only one English team in the 1/4 finals and it had to be bloody Arsenal.
I think I'd have preferred a smug reds and Liverpool to be through. I like getting behind the English teams in Europe and everything but Arsenal? It really is a stretch for them...Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

i'd love us to get barca actually, although saving them until the final wouldn't be half bad either"The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Last night was a victory for football as it should be played - two attacking teams working the ball forward along the ground in search of goals. Compared with the Special One's tactics of stopping football being played, even when he's got two goals to find, it was a joy to watch.
While Arsenal's progress sticks in the craw of Chelsea fans, lovers of football world-wide will be pleased that the attacking spirit of Barca, Lyon & Arsenal will be present in the QFs.
As for the Premiership, Chelsea have clearly set the tone with their defend-and-hoof tactics, and while they are entitled to full credit for winning back-to-back titles, the league is rapidly resembling a cross between the physicality of the Championship and the Cattenacio of Italy. No wonder the fans are staying away. Not that they'll be staying away from the 'Grove next year.
Arsenal's problem is that they have to find a way of dealing with the EPL so they can book a ticket to the continent where they can play their own game. If the youngsters can build a bit more strength and resiliance, next years EPL should see Arsenal challenging again.
That's SIX clean sheets in a row now in the ECL, and with only one first-choice defender last night. Only one more to equal AC Milan's record.
Mad Jens = Goalie of the year.

Although they won't be able to watch champions league football at the Grove.
On the other front, few expected Porto or Liverpool to win the CL in the previous two years, and few even expected Arsenal to make the QF's, so that route to next year's CL isn't yet closed either.
