Sagna's technique was excellent. Alan Smith said on commentary that he did it like he took penalties every day of the week. Doni was so far off his line on Toure's kick that it was untrue. I think there'd have been a case for a retake if it had been missed. Denilson's kick was excellent just because of all the stick he gets. Nasri was ice cool. I'd love to be able to take a penalty like that under pressure.
There's David O'Leary and big Willie Young, sending Rixy and Stapleton off on a run

Congratulations to those who took penalties and put them away. :clap:

Thank you.


Indeed and long may it continue.


It's true that a little bit of luck in the C1 makes us feel really good!!

We were lucky last night... It was unfortunate that we conceded in 9mins as we played so well after the goal! As for Bendtner... I don't feel he should of had any part in last nights game... alright, yeah he may have scored a few and Wenger has been behind him, but I felt Dudu should have started to gain Champion League Fitness as it's been a while since he played in it.

I felt we had a chance if we had Dudu & Walcott on in the beginning, We could have pulled a goal back and been in charge like we should have instead of going the FULL 120mins Even though we showed Character in the Penalties and came out the winners... Hope we get Barca or Porto as we'll be ready for both of them.

I loved the reaction from the playes when we won! Seeing them run over to the Arse supporters and throw over their shirts made me very proud of the team!

Seriously....why on earth are people even having a go at Bendtner? He & Diaby were the players who looked most likely to make something happen yesterday, whilst our main creative hubs Nasri and Robin were nowhere to be seen! :rolleyes:

The defending for Juans goal was comical, both Gallas and Toure looked as if they were going to stick their foot out and thought better of it. That ball should NEVER have traveled right through so many players.

This is why AW didn't play Eduardo from the beginning:

And what is Champion's League fitness?! :dizzy:
Is that a different level of fitness from Premiership fitness...?

Bendtner was not great last night but better to play him than a partially fit player.

Just watched the pens again, from a fans view at the stadium, for those of you who are on Facebook, see the pens at Clockend Charlie.
