Oh, but it would be so sweet if Arsenal win and knock the cheating Spurs out of their Champions League spot for next season. That would rock!

That rule was changed in the offseason by UEFA, no? (It's in the 2005/06 CL Regulations: http://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/19071.pdf)
Honestly, you really think Arsenal thought they'd ever even be in this situation. Please.
Well, the FA said during the 2003-04 season that if either Arsenal or Chelsea won the CL, they'd automatically get in. They conveniently forgot about that rule the next year when LFC were in 5th and going through the CL, and then were embarrassed by their own website.
And no, I don't think Arsenal ever thought they'd be looking up at Spurs. But it's nice to have friends in high places, just in case.Rocco wrote:It should be fun with Ronaldinho and Henry on the same pitch.

Barca are not Villareal. No way Arsenal will play a Final the way they played the SF second leg.
