i guess the draw was rigged. but i think we will have a chelsea v barca final and chelsea will win.

my sf matches: liverpool v chelsea & roma v barca.

final: chelsea v barca

I hope we win at the Emirates and then have a cushion at Anfield but thats easier said than done.

Anyways why did they even bother picking out the other teams for the draw. The should just say this:

Man U vs Barca

Chelsea vs Arsenal/Liverpool

because its not like Man U, Barca or Chelsea arent guarenteed through its like an automatic buy to the semis

……The first leg ends up 1-1 at the Emirates. Arsenal take the lead at Anfield and are winning as the game goes into injury time, then up pops Gerrard with a last-gasp equaliser. In the last minute of extra time, Arsenal get a penalty. Chance to wrap the game up. Van Persie sends it high into the Kop. Teams can’t be separated. Penalty shoot-out. Liverpool win penalty shoot-out 11:10, Fabregas misses the decisive penalty. Arsenal heart-broken, deflated, on the floor, feel it’s the end of the world. Then, beaten and exhausted they must drag themselves to Old Trafford to offer themselves up as sacrificial lambs to the Lions of the North West, and the soon to be annointed Kings of Europe - Yep, you’ve guessed it: United eat Arsenal for breakfast (or probably lunch bearing in mind the kick-off time)……

OK guys, I’m enjoying myself. What’s wrong with a little flight of fancy? But then again, life is sometimes stranger than fiction. Arsenal fans will remember 1999. Who could have written the script in 1999 when Arsenal appeared to be on their way to a Double - and in the FA Cup semi-final were gifted a last minute penalty by Phil Neville only for Schmeichel to save from Dennis Bergkamp, another Arsenal icon. Ten-man United then win the game with a late wonder goal from Ryan Giggs, arguably the greatest individual goal scored by any player on English soil, when the context of the game is taken into account. The rest is history.

Will the Force be Arsenal this time around, or is the Force about to kick them in the Arse (cheesy pun intended) once more?

If Liverpool are still in the tie come the second leg, it will be a tough call for Arsenal to win at Anfield. Arsenal need Liverpool to be behind in the tie so that Liverpool have to press the game. Arsenal are at their best when hitting sides on the counter-attack.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see it go to penalties at Anfield. Then Arsene Wenger will be thanking his lucky stars that he has no English players for the penalty shoot-out.
