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.

That's true. Actually Cesc and Flamini are interchanging frequently and most of the times, i see Cesc playing deep while Flamini is a bit more forward. I dunno whether this is a delibrate tactic, but its working well so far.

Milan are very poor indeed, Arsenal are doing well and comfortable in possession, they just need to score that elusive goal, as i feel with Kaka and Pato on the break Milan could still be dangerous and nick it. Adebayor is working tirelessly and Fabregas is controlling the middle, Hleb with some decent trickery also.

Eboue is not in the same class as most of these players though, that is painfully obvious,.

No Becks its grea. We can watch Arsenal fans get there hopes up because they think they can go all the way and then loose later on in the competition where it will hurt them more. Wink

But seriously Arsenal were awesome today hate to say it but they well and truly dominated this game and deserved there 2-0 win or even to win by more.

well played the Arsenal! That is the best Arsenal performance for such a long time! That was a masterful display from the midfield! hleb, Fabregas and flamini were outstanding! Adebayor seems to thrive being the lone striker and help the ball up so well. Cant believe fabregas's striker went in as seemed to move quite slow but guess as was struck early keeper didnt see it coming.

AC MIlan, well, it looks like age might finally be catching up on many of Europe's elite. Just couldnt cope with Arsenals fast one touch passing and trickery, especially in the first half.

A much deserved win! well done.

As I said after the first leg, we had the advantage.

Which advantage? The extra class. Smile

We outclassed them at the Emirates and were quite unlucky to not win by a few. And at the San Siro we outclassed them again. I look back on the other cup exits and our recent form in good spirit. We have had an amazing season and this young team just continues to produce amazing feats.

Cesc truly outclassed Kaká in all departments. His passing was on a different level and his play in the final third also. It's just a great joy to see, considering the last time we had a great run in this competition Cesc was the heartbeat and outclassed similarly high-class opponents.

I'm very much proud and truly over the moon with the performance, the spirit and the history-making win over the ex-Champions.

And Eboué is [beep!]. How he gets games I'll never understand.

Walcott isn't great either but you can see the impact he makes when he plays in place of Eboué. Just has the attacking mind whereas Eboué doesn't have it.

I'm happy!

But I don't agree about the comments on Eboue, I think he links up very well with Sagna and has adapted to a more attacking position well, he crosses the ball excellently, always good in a winger but his shooting could use some work.

But yeah roll on the 1/4 finals, great result and a great performance tonight.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!

AC Milan played well for the first 15 minutes and looked a bit threatening on the counter.

Arsenal fully deserved this victory. The ref was a bit whistle happy, and I'm still trying to find out why he gave Hleb a yellow for diving. He was clearly fouled. If it was Eboue, I would have understood, but Hleb doesn't dive.

Cesc and Flamini were magnificent in the middle. Even Cesc, tracking back and getting on the ground to stop Kaka's progress was wonderful to see. Cesc goal was amazing. Diaby played well, he looks a bit show, but overall played well. Hleb did a wonderful job spreading the ball out right and left on every attack. I don't see why Wenger continues to start Eboue. Walcott is on a high, and his confidence and quality is sky rocketing at the moment. That final run he made to create the final goal was blistering.
Walcott > Eboue

The whole back line (yes including Senderos) played a wonderful game.

Adebayor; he's a work horse. He worked hard all game long, and glad Walcott found him at the end to get the ball into the back of the net.
