Wow... Wonder if Arsenal were tired from CL play... regardless, hard to hold off Man U with an effort like that....StillBleedingBlue wrote:Wigan somehow held Arsenal to a 0-0 draw yesterday in EPL play.
I guess they had to be, though their last three EPL games have been draws, with the 1-1 draw at home against Aston Villa being the only reasonable one, as their other draw besides these two was to an awful Birmingham City club. They may be on the slide.BF44 wrote:Wow...

Agree -- Inter didn't show me much at all in the first half. Then when the red card is shown, it was all over.....StillBleedingBlue wrote:Liverpool win today 1-0. I'm surprised, I figured that Inter would at least score a goal.

Depends how the draw falls out. I *think* it's on Friday, but not 100% sure. The only other team that has a shot is Barca, unless Roma is better than I realize...StillBleedingBlue wrote:With the result today, four EPL teams (Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool) are in the final eight of the Champion's League.

I hate to tell ya'll but the new dynamic duo of Stevie G & Torres are takin' the Reds all the way to Moscow! We've been on an absolute tear the last three weeks or so and I don't see Torres slowing down any time soon! The side is looking to be in great form. I'm really hoping for our 6th title! Should have won it last year but they just came out so uninspired in the first half (and I guess we owed AC for the Istanbul miracle).BF44 wrote:Depends how the draw falls out.

Didn't Liverpool just lose to a 2nd division Barnsley team????StillBleedingBlue wrote:strocklen083 wrote:I hate to tell ya'll but the new dynamic duo of Stevie G & Torres are takin' the Reds all the way to Moscow!

I suppose out of the EPL teams to win it, I would hate Liverpool the least. Plus, after that awful showing last year, they'd better be playing with more fire.
Indeed they did. I believe that was three weeks ago and that goal came in stoppage time. This was a match where Rafa under estimated the opponent and but a 1/2 ass squad out there to compete. The keeper should have stopped that shot but that's what you get when you don't play Pepe Reina! I doubt Rafa will make that mistake again.BF44 wrote: Didn't Liverpool just lose to a 2nd division Barnsley team????

yeah, I saw that. Depending on how that 1st leg goes and where everyone sits in the standings, that league match could be a game of subs and 2nd team players.BF44 wrote: Btw... in between the two matches, Arsenal and Liverpool also play an EPL match....
