Hi, there! Congrats on a good game against Madrid.. Thanks for providing some insight into your team. Very interesting to read. I think Alaba and Ribery was a pretty good combination for your side this season? You mentioned our attack, but although you mentioned Drogba and Mata (probably our most in-form attackers atm) and compared them with yours., I can tell you that they are just 2 out of at least 6 attacking outlets available for us

I think he got the point..you just didn't give good examples

Or...'do you know where we can get a couple of drinks in this place?"

Of all the puns..lol

Ha! That's just like one of Joel Schumacher's Batman suits... Maybe the backside of the kit looks something like this:

Youngster, and has been in pretty good form recently. Should be a miss for them.

And this week's scapegoat is....

Better :eyebrows:

Amazing energy from Cole, after all that and still doing a post-match interview as well! In fact, if he had a bit more energy, he would have smacked Geoff Shreeves across the face for trying to sting Ivanovic with his comment about the yellow card.

Brazilians are always audacious when it comes to football...remember that dribbling run against City? Didn't see that one coming either....

Yes, I got the point

I've said it before (maybe with a bit of sarcasm), that he plays really well when out of position. Its probably because he's more alert when not playing RB and hence doesn't let his mind doze off...

Fair enough, but we have only fit CB in Ivanovic, besides Terry, and even he's suspended for the next game.

Is that your way for doling out punishment? And who's the CB that's going to magically appear and play in his stead? That was a massive clanger, what he did, but the best way he can repay the club is to put in a good shift in the matches he's available for. This is the club's future we're talking about here and its more important than any one player

What's done is done..let's stop moaning and get on with it.

Ramires, Iva and Meireles sacrificed their chance to play in the final for the team...whoever plays in their stead should give it their all...

I don't know what to say about this man... Two subs left, and logic suggested that he bring on Essien, Malouda or another defender to stifle their attacks...But bringing on Torres and removing Drogba, of all people? Take a bow, son, take a bow

Ramires...this guy is missing the final, but he still had the composure to put us in front, when most would have lost their heads... Well done by him, Lamps and the rest of the boys...I can't thank them enough for today...

At least Alan Shearer thinks differently about RDM's tactics: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4272744/Alan-Shearer-says-Roberto-Di-Matteo-got-the-last-laugh-on-Arsene-Wenger.html

Especially Meireles..he tackled really well, but gave away the ball far too cheaply.

Lol...that's such a bad photo edit.. exaggerated but still fun to watch on the screen though..

But he was rested for the past two games...I know pressing and defending is a lot of work, but tiredness shouldn't be an excuse for his decision making towards the end...

I think its after the 1-0 win (look at the Benfica seats)... Anyway, its good to see the manager get along with everyone.

At times he seemed to just waltz past the Arsenal defense today, but towards the end of the game he really went down a couple of gears...Maybe he was disappointed with the lack of support around him, but that's not an excuse. Should do better.
