One of the great games

Kudos to Arsenal, an absolutely mesmerizing game and a truly sensational performance. To go to the San Siro and outplay Milan like that is no mean feat, and to do it with a team so young and missing a key cog at the back is extra special.

Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, Clichy, Gallas, Senderos, Adebayor... 10/10.

I'm watching that game again tonight.

Was just saying to the lads here, that had we lost that having played the way we did I would still have been proud. But to go to the San Siro and play the way we did, while also winning, I think will show just how good a team we are. Whatever Ive said about Helb in the past, and I must've been one of his biggest critics, this season he has been immense. Also Flamini, Cesc, Adebayor, Gallas and Clichy were brilliant.

Mitch Connor · 04-03-2008 10:54PM

didn't see the game - but it is a great result for them - had a feeling they would do it as i didn't fancy this Milan side to beat them, but to go and do it, and convincingly according to reports i have read from fans who did watch it, still takes a bit of doing.

Vokes · 04-03-2008 10:55PM

Hleb was insane with the atwistin' and the aturin'. And that little chipped through ball he did from the centre edge of the box to the corner of the 6 yard ... wow :eek:

herbieflowers · 04-03-2008 10:56PM

even as a Utd fan you gotta admire Arsenal. To go to Milan, the San Siro, where a win seemed unlikely given their form and Milan's excellent record at home; a young team against an experienced one - well done, great performance.

Tusky · 04-03-2008 10:59PM

Yep. Played really well alright. I admit I only saw the first 60 minutes but from what I saw Adeboyor was one of the worse performers in the side. He constantly mis controlled the ball and gave a few awful passes. The only thing of note he did was hit the bar with a nice shot.

Credit to Flamini, Hleb & Fabregas in particular.

Fantastic stuff from the gonners tonight.To go there and beat the european champions on there home turf is a result that equals liverpool beating Barca at the nou camp last year.Congrats:)

I wouldnt get confused between a great game and a great performance.

Great Performance
Arsenal tonight. Totally outplaying Milan on their own turf tonight. Milan were rubbish, because Arsenal were so good.

Great Game
Man Utd 4-3 Real Madrid a few years ago.

Theres a difference.

Royale with Cheese · 04-03-2008 11:21PM

Fabregas wasn't free, he was about £2m wasn't he?

39.25m by your figures.

or 1.3 Ferdinands. Impressive.

cson · 04-03-2008 11:46PM

Flamini was absolutely immense. Outclassed Gattuso. All hail Flattuso

Mossy Monk · 04-03-2008 11:50PM

World player of the year was quiet enough again.

Completely stifled by a combination of Fabregas, Flamini, Sagna and... Walcott.

Gallas was free, we got £5 million, great deal.

StickyMcGinty · 05-03-2008 12:20AM

senderos 10/10?

excellent performance from the majority of the arsenal squad, but Senderos is a nightmare. lucky milan didnt really threaten all night

not taking away from the result though, fair dues to arsenal, hopefully 4 english teams in the 1/4's now

lol. The sums work. Your total is confusing now though, it look like -29 million (minus 29).

That was the best piece of business ever. Well except maybe the time somebody got Manhattan for some plastic beads...

Good preformace, but this Milan side is 18 points off the pace in Serie A. They're over the hill TBH. However don't think any side will want to draw Arsenal next round. BTW can English teams draw each other next round?

Milan finished 36 points behind the leaders in Serie A last season yet they beat the likes of Manu and Liverpool on their way to being European and world champions..

I only got to see the highlights, will there be a repeat of this on non-sky channels?

Flamini. Best DM in the world right now. Nobody can touch him!!

You dont agree? I suppose mascherano is his equal?:D

The Flamster didnt give Kaka (world player of the year) an inch over 3 hours of football.
This was no flash in the pan either, he has been doing it all season.

One of the great games
