Arsenal not playing well recently, whilst Bolton seem to be on a good run. How great will it be if Big Sam claims the last CL spot ahead of Arsene ?! What with their stadium payments, no CL football will put a big f**k off dent in Wenger's summer spending budget. Typical, no OM when you need him most.

My sentiments exactly. Hate Chelsea too, but anyone rather than the Manc t***s.

Same formation as Arsenal, with two changes: Reina Finnan Carra Agger Aurelio Pennant Mascherano Alonso Riise Gerrard Crouch

The thing is, there are not too many top class wingers around, especially ones that are potentially available for a transfer, right or left wing, so it doesn't really matter how much money Rafa will have at his disposal. All players, especially overseas ones, deserve a second season, moreso Speedy who IMO has the potential to become a very good player.

I agree. I think that Lennon is somewhat overrated. He is quick, skillful, but his end product is still lacking at times. Spurs will be looking for at least Carrick money, and that price is too high for a player who is not yet the final product.

Who cares as long as we win it again.

Can I just say that Peter Kenyon is one of the most despicable human beings on the face of this earth?

I'd prefer a continental team. Lille would be fantastic - fingers crossed. I'd love us to play RM, allowing Rafa to get one over his home club.

Very good player, but not exactly the prolific striker we need.

I think thats probably correct. The first 20 minutes or so are going to be crucial for us. If we concede an early goal, they will be buzzing, and when they are, they are pretty much unstoppable. If we weather the early storm, their play will become less calculated and more urgent, and we should have a few chances to hit them on the break. If we succeed and score first, their play will become even more urgent, allowing us to hit them again and finish off the tie.

So I am not the only one who thinks that Torres is very overrated. Does not score anywhere near enough goals for a supposedly world class striker.

Had a very good game yesterday, but lets not forget that the quality of the opposition was not exactly of the highest level, and that the game was practically over after 25 minutes. Still, if he can find some consistency, and use his skills to get past the fullback more often, then he'll definitely give a serious option on the right. Never deserved some of the stick he has received from some of our fans.

That free kick must have added about 10m to his transfer value. The most in-form striker in the world at the moment.

They should fight more often ...

Am I the only one who thinks that Torres, for all his talent, does not score anywhere near enough goals for a world class striker?

So its all a load of b******s? How boring.

Like you've never done that ...

May be a little bit too naive here, but why would Ronaldinho want to leave Barca? Great club, attacking football, fantastic city, adored by the fans, top wages. What else does he want?

I think Rafa will gladly take Alves off their hands. Madrid are truly awful, and as been said above, its amazing they are still only a few points behind Barca. I thought Capello would sort them out this season, but even he seems to be in over his head. Can see him heading back to Milan in the summer - boy, is Ronaldo going to be pleased ...

True, but to be fair, he is very young and is still settling into the Premiership.

Owen = Never going to play for Liverpool ever again.
