Need I say more?
My beloved Gunners survived the expected onslaught from an overzealous (and at times, cheating) Villarreal side after Kolo Kolo has given us the precious 1 goal lead from the first leg at Highbury.
To be honest, the 2nd leg wasn't really the spectacle it was hyped up to be, up till the final 2 minutes when it suddenly exploded in controversial circumstances. The darn Jose M... (not Mourinho but Mari, but both are equally shite!) went down in the penalty box after a slight nudge from our young left back, Clichy. It was the worst ever possible feeling I ever got from a soccer match. It's worse than the Wayne Bridge winner at Highbury in the quarter finals 2 years ago... I mean, whats up with the Ref.. 2 minutes to go before someone reached the Final, and he have to come out and grab the limelight!?!
So it was the Argentine wizard, schemer, football aristocrat, Riquelme VS Lehmann, the German Psycho, with a penchant of screwing things up at the most awkward of times to decide whether the match would be sent into extra time OR Arsenal to Paris on May the 17th.
I must admit, I never had the habit of nail-chewing no matter how nervous I was, but yesterday was absolutely different, I was squatting down with a pillow on the floor, all wide awake at 5am in the morning, wishing Lehmann would just get this right. From the look of Riquelme's face here...

One would think, there is absolutely NO CHANCE that he will come up with a weak penalty at such a critical time. Then this happens..
YAY!!! LEHMANN PUNCHES IT AWAY!!! And I just went ballistic! Jumping up and down like a monkey in front of the TV asif it was me who saved it! LOL! At that moment, the tiredness of not sleeping and being awake for almost 20 hours just abandoned me right on the spot. It was an incredible feeling and quoting from Siva.. "It feels better than SEX just for the moment" Heh. It sure feels great to be a Gooner! =D Arsenal Forever!!!
