I'd be a lot happier if someone told Rooney to calm down too.

It's called holby City

If it was villa (yes I'm dreaming) then it would be a different story. I was going out for it as I did for the wednesday game last week but couldn't be arsed.

Why doesn't he take Rooney off now with the yellow card situation too?

From a neutral POV Arsenal have so disappointed me.

That ref played a blinder didn't he?!
Couldn't believe he gave a penalty let alone a straight red to Fletcher.
I feel for the player and we'll miss him in the final.
He's been one of United's best players in the last few games and he's crucial alongside Carrick at the back of midfield. Gives the attacking players freedom.
Commiserations to MJ and Stu...unlucky.

C'mon Barcelona.

I'm mortified to be honest. We were abysmal over the two legs and Utd fully deserved to go through, which is so hard for me to say considering my hatred for them, in fact they should have won by a greater aggregate margin. Humiliating.

I think Arsenal's time will come. You've got a young side that needs more strength in depth and Wenger's been around long enough to get it right.
Plus Arshavin will come into his own next season...shame he was cup-tied.
If it makes you feel better, United were at the same point two seasons ago when we went out to AC in the semi's in a similar manner.

I'm pretty pissed, but Arsene seemed to be determined to fail when he unveiled the starting line-up. What I am really pissed about is how the press broke the Ade story on the day of the game, it would have properly weighed on people's minds.

Here's hoping we can get our defensive crisis solved over the summer

Thank's to RT for showing some grace and your side was clearly the better team, shame the ref screwed you for that penalty. I would tattoo myself in red and white but I still wouldn't call that a penalty

Oh and the Fletcher incident was a yellow, let's not get carried away. Great play from Man U.
I predicted that Chelsea would sneak past Barca but it's looking they're going to go defensively again so i guess they'll break down. 2-0 Barca.

With his foot as high as well, in his postion the ref was blatantly going to give a penalty.
