It'd be a real kick in the teeth if Henry went to Barca now.

Yes, but the keeper has had a lack of match practice of late, and Henry just bottled it.

other than Lehamns gaffe,almunia blew both goals and the biggest mistake was taking off hleb and fabregas,they scored right after

All over, was a great game, unlucky Arsenal but have to concede that
I think Barcelona did Tip Ya.

I think Lehman should be held accountable on Arsenals side albeit
if would be difficult to say how he would have handled one of those Barcelona Goals..

Anyways always good to watch a great final..

Almunia was shocking, could have done better with both goals, not covering your near post for the first one is criminal.

The game was sh*te? And boring?

Really?

I enjoyed it and thought it was very exciting.

And as for people saying that the sending off ruined the game as a spectacle well here's news for you, the referee's job is to interpret and impliment the rules NOT to make sure that the game provides great entertainment for the viewing public!

If you want guaranteed entertainment go watch a film or a West End musical!

I agree about Henry and Ronnie though, although to be fair to Henry he was doing an awful lot of running on a pudding of a pitch so can be forgiven for being knackered in the second half.

Totally agree Toby, I thought the game was great. I am not gonna harp
on about the sending off etc etc, but it most certainly was entertaining.
