gone for a convincing win but am getting nervous for some reason. I think if we turn up then we should have no trouble scoring a couple of goals.
I hope we win (and am reasonably confident we will win) but would happily settle for any result that sends us through to the final, even a 2-1 defeat.
I voted for a draw but i am really becoming nervous.Semi final second legs have always given me some of my biggest thrills and my biggest disappointments.I remember doing Klinsmann dives around the house when Yorkey made it 2-2 in Turin.I also remember letting out a cry of relief after the Barca siege ended last season.But i also remember being in tears after Leverkusen.How did Solskjaer miss that close range shot?How did a defender named Placente make a name for himself by keeping Forlan’s looped shot off the line,only to never be heard off again?Just get an early goal lads and lets make it boring for a change.
I think we will see a different Arsenal in this match, but I have faith that Sir Alex will have chosen the best 11 to match that. Should be a battling win for us.
we will definitely keep the unbeaten record going.will go for a draw
Never make predictions. Never.
I am with you Giles, it is the kiss of death to make predictions, especially if I make them!
I expect us to win 3-1 or 4-2.
what i’d give for a horrendously boring 0-0…
no predictions for me…. just hope!
costas- my sentiments exactly!
I predict that Giles and Stephen wont make a prediction…
I always predict that we are going to win 3:0. Everybody’s really impressed with my abilities when I get it right.
for a mouthwatering game like this,its very hard to predict the scores.but with the faith i ave in sir,Am very optmistic that we are going through.
I predict a shock in the starting line up tonight! I have a gut feeling Rooney will start on the bench in fear of getting a yellow to rule him out of the final!
I predict arsenal to score a lucky first goal from a deflected shot in the first half!
Vidic powers in a reply early in the second half with a header from a corner!
with 15 minutes to go Arsenal then Score another to leave a tense finish!
United defend like Warriors and celebrate at the final whistle!!
anything as long as we win. . . .
I just hope there are no controversies, we win it without the press being able to say their usual ABU rubbish.
they always find something stephen….no matter what happens
Arsenal on their day can beat anybody so I actually think this will be a 0-0 draw.
I believe Rooney will be on the bench and SAF will adopt a 4-4-2 formation including Berbatov and Tevez upfront. With Ronaldo, Anderson, Fletcher, Park in midfield.
Maybe Rooney will come on and score the winner in the 90th minute when Arsenal are laying siege to the United goal.
Whatver happens we are in for a very nervy night.
I predict united book a place in the final. I would celebrate whole night if we make tonite. My nerves are not great, spent the night setting up teams, imagining score lines, I even dreamt myself playing for United and scored a goal….they equalised in the 79th Minute though but am sure we would happily take that. I can only see united in ROME
United to score first…The Arse to go all out attack….maybe jam in a goal or two…United to kill it off before 75 mins. That’s what i’m hoping anyway!
COME ON YOU REDS!!!
People..you know what im going to say. lol
Been a nervous wreck as usual….dry mouth…cant eat…cant sleep…cold sweats…hands shaking….praying van persie or anyone else wasnt fit ( that didnt work). Like Cherry ive been up all night with pen and paper…scribbling strengths and weaknesses….trying to find as many pluses for us to go through.
Negatives are can we play like we did at OT?
Can arsenal be so shit?
I doubt it…theyve been given a massive reprieve…a 2nd chance and a lifeline from last week. The whole world knows we had their necks on the platter with knife in hand ready to kill them off…yet we let them off the hook. And in life when you give people a 2nd breathe of air….they do come back to haunt you. And wengerbus seems verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry confident ‘ we will do it, just you see” ” await a magnificent performance” ” we have star quality” Blimey.
So obviously rather than us being 3-0 zip and me being slightly less nervy. My nerves are off the scale at mo.
Like Costas mentioned…and SAF always says…..we should have done better…how we ve reached so many semis yet fallen short..leverkusen, dortmund….and how we ran out of bodies and legs in milan. Arseholes also have had alot of luck at the emirates v us. 3 times we ve played them and 2 times it was late late winner and equaliser….and last year…flamin deflected goal and 2 handballs from clichy not given.
Like stephen said…hope it doesnt come to refs and controversy and dodgy calls. EG Giggsy and Ando being ONSIDE.
Personally we deserve to go through. Theyve faced the 7th and 8th placed team in la liga and seria A. Yet we’ve faced the champs of both portugal and italy.
So just hoping for some luck….no dodgy ref calls….no rooney yellow…no evra yellow and no carlitos yellow. An early goal to settle the nerves….and please NO 1-0 to them and extra time and pens.
As you guys will know i never make a prediction…i stay negative due to sheer nerves and not wanting to tempt fate.
So hopefully a 0-0 draw ( which i doubt) a score draw….or any 1 goal score defeat will do right now. 2-1 3-2 4-3 5-4 22-21. Any of our previous results at the emirates will do nicely. Just hoping we keep our concentration…cos away from home in clge this season we have been awesome.
Celtic Park…parkhead. 80% possesssion = 1 goal conceded
Villareal el madrigal….dominated game = 0 goals conceded
Aaalborg….= 0 goals conceded
Inter..san siro…dominated game = 0 goals conceded
Porto…dragao…dominated game = 0 goals conceded.
So just 1 goal let in. Bit of luck ( please)…heavy duty concentration..and hopefully we should be ok.
Saying that i’ll end by saying…..you just get a feeling a spanner will be thrown into the works. Wish i could see the future and fastforward to 10.30pm..lol
Hoping we dont regret and rue what happened last week.
1-0 to Arsenal. The tie will be decided on penos.
North Stand – great prediction! That one you’re allowed.
ill follow….stephen and giles…on this one….
feelin tooooo nervous abt the match…..the worst thing for me is…have an examination ..tmrw which is d last one of my graduation….
Utd to go through? Or passing your exam for graduation?.
If only one could come true and you had to pick one Ancha. Which would you pick. Truth please…:-)
You have nothing to worry about, United will get to the final, we’ll probably beat you though.
Why do you say that goonerchris?
Your players….fibreglass, wallmart, nasri, adebayor, moody van persie are quality players that worry me greatly.
Or…..are you a nervy gooner…not wanting to tempt fate either?
@suhayl..
without a shadow of doubt….ill go for untied to final….
its pretty simple…even if i fail…i can give it again……but…the final..no way…
thts the reason why…i still dint start preparing for exam….
Because your boss will hit us on the counter attack with the outcome likely to be a goal for United.
That would practically seal your place in the final. Anyway, I’m not confident with our defence neither Adebayor!
Good luck, may the best team win (on aggregate).
You can really tell the difference between Arsenal and Liverpool fans on this blog.
My nerves are killing me…I have the feeling we will make it ROME…but why am I so nervous? Never been this nervous before a match…hope suhayl is okay!
Ancha……great answer mate…..hope we pass through…..hope you pass also. United passing much more important though ofcourse. Exams come and go….supporting utd…following this great club….sharing in its rollercoaster of emotions lives with us forever. Something that can never be replicated.
GoonerChris…you maybe right…away goal is massive….but you got off last week…..youve been given a massive repreive, a 2nd bite at the cherry, a 2nd chance, a lifeline you really shouldnt have had. You know you should have already been buried. However we didnt nail that coffin…you’ll certainly be lifted and bouyed by that and you cant play any worse…and you’re at home.
We deserve to be there from last weeks show. But in football things do come back to haunt you….things you may regret or rue. thats what worries me as a utd fan.
@suhayl…
its off topic….plz check the post ..on kaka and ribery….i would like to see your view…on my comment…
Cherry – im dying mate….tickers doing cartwheels….im shaking like a leaf – havent eaten all day – sweating with anxiety – dry mouth – feeling like puking up. Apart from that no nerves really
ancha give us 15 minutes…..havent read that thread yet
Same here suhayl..just praying all day
LOL.
You guys are getting yourselves all worked up over nothing.
United have everything in their hands, do you really think they will throw away a 1-0 aggregate lead? Even if they do, all they need is a goal and they’ve practically won the game.
Footballs a funny and cruel game at times goonerchris….
A deflection….a post…a dodgy ref call…a red card…anything CAN HAPPEN. Things sometimes beyond your control take over and screw you over.
Anyway..i personally think you’re very confident inside….but coming across all doom and gloom….not wanting to tempt fate.
You may say the same for me…..but really i am shitting my pants.
Does someone know the squad for tonight’s game?
And what line up do think SAF will play?
This one?
VDS
O’Shea Vidic Ferdinand Evra
Ronnie Fletcher Carrick Park
Tevez Berba
I am praying that Gigg’s dissallowed goal will not come back to haunt us.
I’m not confident at all.
I do think we’ll beat you (scoreline), but I know you’ll nick a goal whatever happens.
okay Gooner Chris from ur mouth to God’s ear and he writes it!!!!
True true true alpha…as the game approaches..you now get those vivid flashblacks from last week. Rooney header…..Tevez shot…….Ronaldo header……Ronaldo bar……. Anderson ONSIDE………Giggsy ONSIDE.
And wish and picture why we arent taking atleast a 3-0 lead into this game.
Thats whats killling me.
GoonerChris…well i hope you’re right
prayer time lads for me
Prepare for the victory lap.
I did tell you that the games over once you scored.
Are you Kidding me! That was fucking beautiful. VIVA RONALDO!
PARK! 2 goals, 2 games…who would have though.
Its over now, after only 12 mins. Ref may as well blow to end the match
Arsenal in shambles! Take Rooney off at half.
Get Rooney and Evra off at half time. No need o risk Tevez either.
Berbatov and Da Silva on.
I hear the commentators are saying their usual ABU comments.
How about Giggsy’ disallowed goal last week?!
Also Arsenal still dangerous.
Maybe I am being ultra cauious but it only takes a slip or a deflection for some belief.
The Arsenal fans are depressing to watch. I’d like to think we’d be singing are hearts out in the same situation.
is it time to celebrate already? we have 2 away goals… 3-0 aggregate.. now it coming close to halftime.
I’d say take off Rooney & Evra. Not that it will encourage Arsenal to attack, but for the fact that the 2 of them wouldn’t want to make a tackle now. It’d be good to send on someone who can be more committed
Take off Rooney and Evra. Bring on Tevez and Rafael and move O’Shea to left-back.
Look at all those Gooners fans leaving!
To be fair, there isn’t that many fans leaving which is a testament to the fans.
Fuck that . Brilliant tackle by fletcher and ref. Gives him a red case . I’m really sad and disappointed for fletcher . He has been absolutely brilliant for vs and this fucking ref. Has denied the kid to play in champions league final.
If there is any sense in this world, Fletcher’s red card will be taken off
@MARQ-I think the red card cannot be rescinded.
Highbury back to being the Library!
where are the gooners who´ve been goin on here about atmosphere and shit…
all we need now is Barca give the rentboys a fisting and we smash the bitters for a perfect footballing week…
fletcher’s red cannot be appealed. awful. he clearly touched the ball away from fabregas. it’s a shame, he deserves to play in rome.
Fucking awesome display – 3rd goal was vinatge United. Pleased to see that Rooney and Evra escaped a booking. Shocking call by the ref for a pen, and bad decision to send off Fletcher. Fucking cunt.
Let’s hope for 3 points against the bitters on Sunday.
What a diabolical pack of idiots UEFA are that no club can appeal such blatantly appalling decisions. Italian refs are a disgrace. I still haven’t forgotten the days when Stefano Braschi (sp) was refereeing Champions League games.
We will miss Fletch. I guess the best we can hope for is a rash of injuries and suspensions for our upcoming opponents in the final.
Btw, if that had been Gerrard that got sent off and not Fletcher, you just know that Liverpool would have done whatever it took to get him to the final (and succeeded).
I predict that United will play in the Champions League Final in Rome.
