cheers. I love the attempted rip off of the shirt, followed by scream of anguish, then gratuitous spit. Fantastic stuff.

Arsenal have been the same all year. All presentation, no production, with the notable exception of Van Persie*. I blame picking up Hleb and Rosicky and worse, playing them at the same time. Neither of those guys score on a regular basis.

On the brighter side, Messi looks like he's found his scoring touch, Helguera got roasted, fried and rotisseried, there's tight races in the Bundesliga and La Liga, Inter will win an actual scudetto and Charlton is only 6 points back of a flailing Man City.

* - In fact, since he went out injured, the Arse have been completely toothless.

That lack of drinking is a real buzzkill. Our friend called us from Chelsea bar Nevada Smith's and it sounds like the ale was flowing pretty freely there.

Man U - Chelsea in the FA Cup Final?

*sniff sniff* Smells more like double douchebaggery to me.

Just took a look at the semifinal draw. It sets up quite nicely for a Man U-Chelsea FA Cup final, assuming those two teams can both win two more Cup matches.

I smell a fix...

Preciousroy, I do my best to ignore the people who post 'Soccer is gay'-type comments because they're the kind of guys who jack off in a condom and call it 'practice'.

Hirshey, if you were to sound like Kornheiser, you'd have found a way to mention Freddy Adu.

I apologise but my Italian isn't very good - does Quattrocacchi means 4 cocks? How would that work?

I would also note that neither Lampart nor Lampard play for us - rather, it was Larsson who got his glistening head onto the end of that Ronaldo cross. We appreciate his service, wish he would stay, but understand why he won't. He is pure class.

I would also note that should United beat Boro in the replay at OT, Ben Foster would be ineligible to play against United in the semi-finals. So the one player of any quality left on Watford would be ineligible (and what quality! See his stops yesterday??).

Oh yes. The Treble is still on.

Barca/Real was a classic. Messi was incredible. He's got to have the quickest feet in world footie. Loved Ivan Helguera's slow-mo cursing after Messi jinked past him for number 3. Can't find the clip of it on YouTube yet but it was hilarious.

Am i the only one who watched barca v. real this saturday? messi's hat trick (especially the last, game tieing goal) and the game, in general, was unreal. End to end action, just insane.

I think Arsenal had 23 shots against PSV. I didn't think it was possible to get 23 shots off in a soccer match. Not a one of them went in (thank you own goal).

Arnsenal scores less than the Deadspin Up All Night coterie.

Well, only the Champions league defeat really stung, to be honest. The Carling Cup used to be the Worthless Cup, so who cares? The FA Cup madness is just a gladiator pit of lousy, physical teams trying to kill the stars on the good teams. And the Prem was out of sight already.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

That and "next year..."

Besides a draw the only thing that would have made a Gooner happier would be a huge sink hole to swallow up both teams and some of their fans as well.
