Really dunno what's gonna happen. As a Gunner, my heart wants Arsenal to win this tie (Either an outright 2nd leg win or a scoring draw, which would see us through). But AFAIK, no English teams have won against AC Milan at the San Siro. Should be a very very difficult encounter after our recent difficulties.

Hope for a draw 1-1 and Arsenal to go through to the QFinals.

If football is fair, I think Arsenal should be in the next round. But we all know football is not always fair... and Milan is a very experienced team in this competition.

Van Persie is on the plane to Italy. Toure however is not.

I don't reckon it'll go in the same vein of the first leg, and i really do think AC Milan are strong favourites for the win at their home ground. I'm tipping them anyway... 2-0.

Hm... dunno. You can never tell with Arsenal. The season we went to the final we beat Real Madrid 1- 0 in their own back yard which no British team had done and we also destroyed Inter Milan 5 - 1 at the san siro during another campaign. Could this be another peice of history for Arsenal football club?

Toure is not on plane to Italy Shocked then it will be Senderos for the defence. God help Arsenal then. Milan would make Senderos make mistakes and if he does that then no way back for Arsenal.

You've gotta remember though. Senderos played about 85 minutes of the first leg. Hopefully he got his screw up out of the way over the weekend.

I do agree that he was the best defender in that match but that match was at Emirates and he was running high with confidance. I dint think anybody could guarnty his confidance after the unlucky own goal. At San Siro Milan players will make him to do the mistakes.

They had Henry then though.

I think Milan are favourites but Arsenal will outplay them and outpace them.

1-0 Arsenal.

Well that was an entertaining first half. Milan started well for the first 15 mins or so and we were a bit lucky to keep them from scoring, but after that we clawed our way back into the game. We really dominated Milan for the first half though.

Also some of the decisions by the refs was bad. Two off-sides were given to eboue i think and both of them were wrong. Also that was a clear foul on Hleb just at the edge of the box and the ref gives Hleb a card for diving. That was absolutely embarrasing. We had our chances and i dunno how that shot from Cesc managed to hit the bar instead of going in. If we play like this in the 2nd half(Kaka, Pato and Pirlo simply didn't see the ball long enough to do something as the supply to them were cut-off) we'll score in the second half for sure and if V.Persie comes on, he'll score for sure i think. But we have to keep Milan from scoring which i think will be a lot tougher.

But i hope now for Arsenal to go to the next stages in the C.League.
