We're the better team first half, should be 2 or 3 up. Blackburn haven't been a threat either, which is worrying actually - they've helped us to another borefest. We've created chances & haven't taken them, Ljungberg fluffed one & Baptista missed a sitter. Aliadière had a good effort, but easy for Friedel.

I think Hughes has got this one right as well, how they approach the 2nd half I don't know. But it'll be interesting.

Poll has been poor as well. Ljungberg should have had a penalty and Aliadière had another touch & go one. But Freddie's should have been, even Andy Gray was 100% sure. But that's our luck, Aliadière was denied a stonewall penalty in the first leg.

Baptista needs to push himself about more. Denílson hasn't been in it and the Fullbacks need to start getting forward, to get a goal.

I am all for Arsenal losing here but Poll is awful again.

That excuse was terrible... "i was focusing on the upper body of the players"... if ever a ref needed glasses.

Pederson should have been booked, Tugay should not have been, Eboue blatantly obstructed Pederson - no foul. The ball did not go out for a throw. Ljungberg was fouled (outside the box imo) - at least a yellow card.

And just by the way, Nonda is rubbish.

PENALTIES, PENALTIES, PENALTIES! Come on. I want some entertainment.

McCarthy got the ball, foul given and Derbyshire gets booked for protesting.

F OFF POLL!

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A GOAL!

HAhahahaha...

Arsène - there is another big reason why Senderos shouldn't be picked ahead of other Defenders.

Put Gavin Hoyte in, and save us from even more embarassment.

That goal was worthy of winning any game!

Poll got knocked over

All McCarthy did was run up to Almunia and stick it in the corner.

Senderos basically let him score. Total donkey.

Typical, put the goal down. It was a cracker!

We love you Benni! All is forgotten from Porto, that was divine man!

what a goal from benni!! what now then J-Axey?

And everyone that criticises Hughes tactics, that is what they achieve. Playing for a home replay means progression to the next round.

What now? I'm away for a bath, start a new job in the morning.

And Hughes got it spot on, helped by the fact that we were rubbish.

...Senderos...........F**^^@@"""K****stupid...***"**@@k

I read an article on Monday, saying that Senderos is the only weak link in Arsenal's side. I think it is conclusive.

He always was a useless brute. I hope you keep playing him.

yeah i read the same one and it has now cost us dearly ......

Senderos is not the only weak link, especially tonight. Denílson was rubbish, Gilberto was mediocre, Eboué was slack, Hleb wasn't in it, Baptista wouldn't pass the ball, Traoré tried too much.. so many weak links.

The only players I can credit are Freddie, Gallas & Almunia.

So Wenger takes off two Fullbacks and somehow Senderos becomes a Right Back!? Craziness. With Gallas, Denílson, Gilberto, Clichy there who'd all do a miles better job at Right Back, he sticks the slowest donkey at Right Back so some of the fastest players on the pitch like Gamst & McCarthy can waltz past him.

Hughes got it all right for me. Wenger got it all wrong. The Referees didn't help either, by not giving us two clear penalties. Ah well, once we struggle to score past PSV & get knocked out of the Champions League, Wenger must look at himself.

And don't blame the 12 missing First teamers.

J-Axe don't give too much praise to Hughes and Blackburn, you will give me a nose bleed through shock

Good luck with Job tomorrow Geezer

I wonder when Arsenal will stop using this one liner,

"We got a young team"
