Italian football seems to have become more expansive recently. There are always decent games on ESPN.

Only get the sky sports channels so I don't see Italian fitba.

I remember it being on Ch4 years ago though and although I watched a fair bit of it, found many of the matches quite boring. Was like chess on a fitba pitch at times with an occasional blockbuster goal.

I only seen the second half and the first ten fifteen minutes was spellbounding.

RVP had a great chance to make it four, but the keeper got lucky. Replay that again and you have to do the same again. The keeper is always going to dive at your feet and lifting it over him is the clever shot.

The Milan player who passed the ball back to schezny will be gutted he couldn't hit the 3/4 of the goal that lay empty.

The Milan player (Stephan x with the Mohawk type hair) on the left looked special before he was taken off. That substitution surprised me.

He looked to have a fair bit of quality about him but wasn't in the game enough for me. Never seen/heard of the guy before.

Whenever he got the ball, the whole team lifted, which told me that he has previous for turning games. I havent heard of him prior to this evening either.

I used to watch it hungover after being out clubbing then in work for 8 am. I usually ended up falling asleep on couch watching it.

Why is it every time Arsenal get knocked out Wenger throws his toys out the pram and yet again faces a touchline ban? Shows the measure of the man. His stubbornness stops him investing in the squad properly yet when they fail he directs his frustrations at the officials.

One big positive for Arsenal is that Oxlaide-Chamberlain is a brilliant young player who should be walking right into the England squad come the summer. IMO he should be starting every week but Wenger seems to be holding back his development

Why is it every time Arsenal get knocked out Wenger throws his toys out the pram...because he is a bad loser ?

Is "investment" down to him or are there others involved in the decision process ?

He under spends every year JHR. He has been offered extra funds every year but never uses it. Everyone knows Arsenal need a couple of top defenders and some strength in midfield but he keeps expecting this squad to produce. They have won nothing. Being a bad loser isn't necessarily a bad thing, it shows a competitive streak, but coupling that with a stubbornness that refuses to see fault in your team, means the fans are going to be left disappointed and the club trophy less for some time.
