As was the case last tie Milan are weak along the wings on defense,


Why do you think the pitch was shite on the wings in Milan? They knew this. Teams in Europe fear Walcott a lot more than EPL squads do.

I know that Milan knows this, I just hope Wenger does. I can understand last leg not forcing the ball through him on that horrid pitch, but no real excuse this leg for not trying to play Theo either through or balls to his feet to attack Milan's left back.

It's just such a huge advantage for Arsenal I want to see them at least try to exploit it.

That follow-through was a yellow on Sagna.

Koscielny out-sprinting Robinho...be still my heart.

Ox's first opportunity on the wing he turns on the jets and attacks Milan's weak link, their left back, he takes on two defenders and draws the penalty.

RVP up to the spot and our hero converts for the third.

3-0 just before half time now.

WOWWWWWWW Arsenal's backline gets completely carved up, and the wide open Milan player misses the 1 on 1 with the Keeper.

Extremely lucky Arsenal. Please just defend and get to half time.

I really wish I had followed my usual tradition of covering my eyes and ears and waiting to get home to watch the game. Watching the gamecast just isn't the same for this epicness.

Arsenal will come out the second half in their typical 4-5-1 formation, but what changes do you expect from Milan?

They are playing terrible right now, and if they continue to sit back with their midfield in their own half just ahead of the backline they might continue to get pounded in their own half. Arsenal is always susceptible of slipping up even if Milan only has 3 attacking players outside their own half, so Milan might not change formation. I hope Milan doesn't send out Boateng, he scares me.

15 goals in the last 2.5 matches on our pitch.

Amazing form at home.

This is truly amazing. I think Milan will try and attack and score early. We need to hold them off and not concede.

WE'RE GOING TO THE frickIN' 'SHIP


(I'm still not watching. I've latched on to the supremely
idiotic superstitious conviction that I'd change the
outcome of the game if I break up this perfect set of
conditions that's allowing us to win).

the visitors' left-back Djamel Mesbah looks like some supporter who's won a competition where first prize was the opportunity to play for AC Milan for an evening.

Arsenal's defense is scaring me big time this half, they don't look solid at all.

Both teams playing pretty sloppy, poor passes, poor control on the ball. Arsenal still the more threatening side. Theo please keep attacking their left back, he can't handle you at all.
