mrpaddyx 13 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 4-1 to Barcelona. I just think the occaision may well get to Chelsea, If they try play an attacking game Barca will tear them apart. Link to post Share on other sites
LJB723 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Chelsea will score. Barca will just score more. fwiw these are the bets I've put on this evening's game:Barcelona win 1u 1.7u returnEto'o score at any time 1u 2.25u returnDrogba score at any time 1u 3.75u returnOver 2.5 goals 1u 2.5u returnBarcelona score in both halves 1u 2.75u returnJust to add a little extra spice to what should be a cracking game!

Tbh though I really enjoyed the game. Barca played some nice stuff (Iniesta was very good inparticular and Dani Alves impressed me) but Chelsea matched it defensively as they obviously set out to do. Bosingwa was solid, Essien did the work of 3 players as he likes to do and Alex and Terry played their part well.I disagree with the commentators that Chelsea have the upper hand as Barca won't play like Chelsea did so are very capable of scoring another draw is enough for them and 1-1, 2-2 is a very likely outcome for next week.Arsenal Man U should be a good, yet different to tonight's game. Arsenal will miss Arshavin but these 2 know each other inside out. Should be a belter. Not putting any money down though Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Solid match today. No real surprises imo except, perhaps, that Man U's goal came off O'Shea's boot. Bit unlucky for Arsenal, who were able to apply decent pressure in limited amounts, but the Gunners seemed to run out of steam in the last 10 minutes. Giggs' 800 appearance for Man U almost resulted in a late goal for him, but some lazy sod in a red sweater (Berbatov?) was a little slow in getting onside and Giggs' netted ball was ruled no good. No away goal for Wenger's side, so we'll see what happens when the two meet at Emirates next week. Link to post Share on other sites

That's down to us not letting Arsenal play their game by applying pressure at every opportunity... also you missed Van Persie and Arshavin.For me, we're huge favourites now. That was our 59th game of the season and we've only not scored a goal in 8 of those games (a few of those were less meaningful games too where we rested Rooney/Ronaldo etc). If we score at the Emirates, Arsenal must score 3. Link to post Share on other sites
socalpoker_j 1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Should have easily been 4-0 for the Red Devils. Arsenal seemed outclassed in nearly every position on the field. Brilliant effort by Almunia who gives them a glimmer of hope that they have a chance. I don't see the Gunners stopping Man U at Emirates in current form.

Arsenal's passing seemed prett weak, in general, esp in Man U's half of the pitch. Arsenal would set up (or try) and then were reduced to passing across the field in straight lines, rather than being given or finding any way to penetrate. Even when a winger brought the ball down the side, someone was in their face cutting off the cross.Nice job, Man U. Link to post Share on other sites
