Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[Main Street]

That was one of the great goals of all time, imo.
Comparable to this one  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J_DwsO9bIY

Smash 'n' Grab.

Arsenal average to poor but scored all three goals. Can smell Harry's squeaky bum.

[ONeill]

Some effort from the Gunners so far. Biting into tackles like never before. The ref's a bit card-happy though.

1-0 up but AC are capable of scoring against that defence again.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

2-0, game on!

[Captain Obvious]

2-0 just need another 2 or 3

[Carmen Stateside]

Come on the Gooners ! You would never know!

[ONeill]

Milan don't seem to be up for this at all.

All the same - all they need is one and Arsenal need 6.

[Captain Obvious]

3-0 that ref took his time to give the penalty.

[Carmen Stateside]

Ha. What a second half in store.  Come on. Milan are very poor.

[Carmen Stateside]

Lucky! Milan goal there would have been a real kick in the stones!

3-0 that ref took his time to give the penalty.

Official behind the goal gave it - first time I've ever seen them do anything.

Just checked PP odds Arsenal only 13/8 to qualify for the next round. 5-0 has odds of 11/2.

Did anyone just see that ad for "Match Attax" with Robbie Keane and Shay Given?! Jesus, it was mortifying.

[Gazzler]

Bingo time?? WTF!

[ONeill]

Incredible first half. Zlatan hardly touched it. Robinho and El Shaarawy very ineffective. The rest of the Milan side never seemed up for it since the 1st minute.

For Arsenal, Kolcielny has been outstanding with Chamberlain running him close. If he runs at them from MF all they can do is foul. With Van Bommel on a yellow it could be dodgy territory for Milan. Gervinho has been very average but at least is getting back. As Neville says - all Arsenal need to do is concentrate on defending and that goal will come. Rosicky is playing like the midfielder we thought he was. No matter how this pans out, at least they've shown a bit of bottle in recent weeks.
