When is the last game at Highbury?



Villareal could cause an upset here, but Arsenal will actually be the favourites this time. Kind of funny how you meet Real Madrid and Juventus in KO and then get Villareal in the semis.

Priority is to keep a clean sheet. We can score, especially with Villarreal missing, Viera, Gonzalo and Pena out.

If we win 2-0 I think we're through, I cannot see them scoring twice without us scoring on the break. But that's asking a lot.

Wenger should copy warcraft 3 players and go for a rush tactic. Just close them down, especially Riquelme. I want Reyes and Hleb to start for that reason, both tireless, fast and fight for the cause.

If we win the battle in the midfield, we'll have chances and we just have to take them.

A 1-0 will do me fine.

For some reason i believe it will be a draw either a 0-0 or a 1-1.:jambo:
Gonzalo Rodriguez will miss the match due an injury which also break his chances for the World Cup.(:/)
Good luck Villarreal.:)

To stop Riquelme i think the best tactic is to hire a fun to run down the field and blow his knees off with a shot gun. That's what id do though.

Seriously though, Youll need more than 2 guys marking to stop him, the guy is by far the best player on the field.

And Forlan is the king to capitalizing on any grain of a chance that presents itself.

The Viera suspension will be a huge factor i think, you know Arsenal are going to shoot from every angle imaginable to try to screw Barbosa.

that actually kinda makes me sad, really and truly. I know, Highbury is old and small, but in my opinion, gut the thing if you have to but keep the original ground, the edifice of the stadium, the clock end, the hallowed turf, etc etc. I know its only moving up the road, but its a real shame that stadium has to come down

they did it with the bridge in the late 90s. You can modernize the stadium and still keep matches going if youre willing to sacrifice some attendance and a few construction blemishes

I wouldve liked to have gotten a chance to see at least one game there, and I hate the frigging gooners

anyway, 1-0 to the Ar-se-nil

I hope Arsenal win a go to the final, I hate Villarreal style of play no matter how effective it is. BTW I'm majorly pissed at ESPN for showing this game and not the Barca - Milan showdown, wtf were they on :|?
