    Hoping Bayern don't bottle it and Athletico continue their streak of drawing with Barca (0-0) tomorrow.

    They all bottled it, CBs couldn't win a thing in the air and the rest of them couldn't string 2 passes together

    Towards the end Cavani and a couple of others had some great chances to kill the game when they could have pulled it back to their teammates to score instead of going for the glory shot. But to be fair Cech made a great save at his near post right at the death.

    The Ivory Coast international came close to joining his brother Kolo at the north London club after impressing at a trial.

    But Toure failed to convince the Arsenal boss he was a box-to-box midfielder and not a striker as Wenger thought.

    "When I was in Belgium, I went to Arsenal for a couple of months to give me some training and I remember my first chat I had with Arsene," Toure told City's official YouTube channel.

    "He asked me, 'Which position do you want to play?' I said 'Midfielder.'

    "He said, "Why? When I saw you training, for me, you looked more like a striker.'

    "I said, 'That's why you always put me up front, move me, I want to play in midfield like Patrick (Vieira). I said 'I can play like Patrick, I can be better than Patrick' and he said 'No, no, it's impossible."

    so IF its because he couldnt get a permit .

    Its a FACT that he would have played him out of position anyway.

    what a surprise.
    oh Arsene , when will you learn ?

    Dont really care if Chelski win the CL (I think they won't) as it doesn't affect us. If Manure somehow fluke their way to the final I will be terrified given what happened to Jokespurs a few seasons back.

    I have the Semis as
    Bayern v. Athletico
    Chelsea v. Madrid

    Bayern-Madrid final that could go either way. It really doesn't affect us as long as Bayern does their job.

    Yep. The post match interviews with Terry and Mourinho were revealing. Terry described how a number of different scenarios had been planned for and drilled into the starting players' minds, how to play if they were 1-0 up, 2-0 up, if Ba came on etc. Mourinho sprinted the length of the pitch to give instructions to his two freshest players to make things difficult for PSG.

    In stark contrast with Wenger's outdated one-size-fits-all approach.

    Wenger Out.

    Agreed. We were like that once too, without the asshole of a manager of course.
